    A few ounces is at least 84 separate deals probably closer to 100, that's circa £3000 to £4000 of drugs the police took off you.

    Why would you need to claim JSA or have a housing problem if you dealt enough drugs for a dealer to have enough confidence to advance you that amount of drugs?

    Why would the 10 weeks of JSA which is what £650ish be such an issue if you were dealing that amount of drugs.

    Your phone would be ringing so much you would not have enough time to be looking for a job.

    Depends how you sell it,
    I was supplying mates with henry's and quater ounces.
    Was buying ounces for around 300 and making a profit of 150ish on each ounce,

    I wasn't on amazing money, just enough..

    so if you had money where did you get the money to buy the stuff in the first place ?


    surely that could have been spent on rent /food / bills

    theres a difference alcohol is legal coke and afaik mdma is not

    The difference is the stigma attached to illegal substances. David Nutt said MDMA was no more dangerous than riding a horse..

    Alcohol however is so bad, I could google it now and get statistics of how many tens of thousands of people die because of alcohol related deaths.

    Not to mention how violent it makes people, how many mistakes you make, it's a terrible drug.

    If Alcohol was created tomorrow morning, you can bet by mid-day its a class A drug.
