ADHD 31
Attention Down Hill Disorder
I`m losing you fast, my darling readers as my ratings are falling by the hour, since I`ve begun editing the old material. I thought about that Swedish teenage girl, who gets thousands of hits per day and dozens of sponsors by writing about clothing and cosmetics on her blog. So I shall do the same.
It`s like so not cool with those pon pongs on the socks, it`s like what are you- from Scotlands or somethin? I would like die if I had those on!
The usual profit margin when dealing drugs on the street level is a 100%- you double the invested money. You may heighten this even more by “cutting” the drugs, by mixing the high quality powders or liquids with some cheap medications. This above all requires really poor
moral values: imagine blending out a poison with some cheaper equivalent to spare a few pennies, before killing someone.
The profit margin selling T-shirts turned out to be around 1000%, before all the taxes and the necessary investments.
As most of the money is made by pushing the things that are less tangible: good times, status, hopes, dreams; my friend I guess was selling the image of a young liberated techno head of the millennium shift. A neo-hippie. A shirt, bought for 40 Swedish crowns from the company in London, easily sold for 400. People were travelling from all over the country to visit his shop, often calling their friends to tell about this ” new cool jacket that they just got”, directly from the boutique. Without going into the details at the risk of revealing something that he would like to keep a secret, let me just say that a generous nature, combined with cocaine is not good for any business. Still, the idea that dealing drugs is far from the most profitable way to make money gives me some hope for the drug free future. I already have the business plan, tons of advertisement ideas. salesman skills and a logotype- all that is missing is a few hundred of thousands. Money that could be made by a few cocaine mule trips from Colombia to Amsterdam without any prior investments, however having these two destinations on your ticket, may as well be a ticket to prison. Still, I was considering it not too long time ago. Pushing drugs was named as one of the mortal sins in the Vatican`s recent update on dos and don’ts. With one very important point: if you yourself do not take them. Something that I`ve encountered exclusively amongst those, who deal in much larger amounts, than those that can be flushed in the toilet, before the cops break through the door. They are the people, who hardly ever get busted, staying invisible, while the prisons are packed with poor fools, whose last hope of having a break in life was an easy money job proposal from an older gentleman in a pub. Small scale smuggling took some damage after the 9/11 paranoia struck the world`s airports with the X-ray and the “sniffing” machines as well as the generally heightened security. Still it is unstoppable, considering the demand and the resources. You can buy yourself a boat with an engine so powerful, that the DIA would think that it must`ve been a UFO over the Caribbean, that flashed on their radars. You can build a several mile long pipeline or a mini submarine. You may even try to pay off the custom officer to look the other way, however I suspect that the most ingenious ways are those we will never hear about. The war on drugs escalates hand in hand with the growing amount of successfully smuggled dope. What puzzled me most of all in this game of cat and a very rich mouse was the choice of drugs that are smuggled the most and the least. Most common customs busts involve cannabis: the plant material that not only takes relatively huge space per dose, but also smells so strongly that one hardly needs a sniffing dog to find it. Its profit margins are just as low as its addictiveness. An easy job for the law enforcement and a lot of headache for the entrepreneurs. At the same time drugs such as LSD or fentanyl (synthetic opiate) are so concentrated, that a single brief case would hold millions of doses, while GHB (GBL, GBA) or methamphetamine can easily be produced on the spot. Yet these are the drugs that virtually non existent on the streets and clubs of Europe. Go figure.
I promised to write something about the cosmetics? Ok. Ever wondered what your girlfriend is doing at a club, when she goes away to powder her nose every 30 minutes?
