A day in the life of a drug dealer.
As you can see below, a drug dealer does not give a thought to his victims, and is only interested in making money. There are different levels of dealers, and some may sell drugs for others to fund their own addiction. This is intended as an example only, and should not be taken as a stereotype of a dealer; dealers appear in all sorts of guises, and are difficult to identify - they don't want to be caught!!! |
