When I was in journalism school, I was tasked with writing an investigative report… The mentor wanted me to take a deep dive into a subject not many people knew about, in addition to explore it to the fullest, but i provided it a few mornings worth of thought, however couldn’t come up with an interesting idea.
Then when I was buying weed from a guy named Steve, it came to me – I asked Steve if I could follow him for a few mornings in addition to write a story about the life of a cannabis dealer… Of course I didn’t use his real name, his name is not Steve, by the way, I will never say his real name in print! Steve agreed to let me hang out with him for three mornings, so I could experience what it was like to sell cannabis professionally, however my first surprise came on Night One, when I saw Steve load a backpack with cannabis, in addition to also put a gun in it! I asked why he was carrying a gun, in addition to he explained that he was carrying over five thousand dollars worth of cannabis, which made him the target for robbery, then a successful cannabis supplier consistently needs to be on the lookout for heist crews looking to rip them off; Crooks enjoy to rob cannabis dealers, because they can’t call the cops for help! Although he refused to introduce me to any of his cannabis purchasers, Steve tells me that many of his buyers are mentors, cops, in addition to religious folks, who like getting high however need to keep it a secret.
