Not that hard . Get a good plug. Get some money slowly and steady, build up funds, get friends to help, tell your subordinates you'll pay for their lawyer and bond. The reason it didn't work is being a junkie with alcohol and narcotics. Given, weed isn't something you can do it with these days in the US. But exchange weed for fent , coke or meth , youre in the money. It's the dumb shit outside the business that gets everyone. I knew opiate addiction was coming up in his future. Staying clean and not getting attention from outsiders is the hard part for everyone. Few can dodge the temptations. Oh, and bringing in people you can't trust that snitch. Seemed like a good dude to turn self in and help his friends though. Nate said Yolo a decade before it had been lame to say

It's funny how people's lives tend to spiral out of control when they find out a way to get easy money. Most of us think we would do differently, but it's hard to say. With so many possibilities opened up, could you really trust yourself? Even at your weakest moments? Most people can't understand what they really want or need at all, so a sudden influx of money simply adds fuel to an already futile and chaotic situation.

[@snesguy9176]

I sure could. People who can't stop are the same who can't walk away from a slot machine when they're up. Probably the same kind of people who'd run drugs in the first place though

[@markbtw7987]

@@snesguy9176 Well, worth considering that everyone feels that way. Every, one. I'm one of the most focused and driven people I know, but I can't pretend to know for sure I wouldn't end up worse off if I were given $1 mil. It has to due with an innate balance of power and humility I think. Life constantly empowers and humbles you in countless ways. So the danger comes when you feel, "wow, I'm in a really great place in life!" That's when most can't help but make bad decisions, because when they touch the stove it doesn't hurt. So to speak. You start slipping because life isn't cracking the whip at you. People get bored, wonder why they have $1 mil and their life is less engaging and interesting than it was when they were broke. At the end of the day, I've noticed this through ups and downs: If you sit with your eyes closed, inside my head, my body, what truly ails a person has very little to do with anything outside of your skin layer. I'd rather spend a day working at Walmart feeling healthy than spend a day at leisure, eating the finest foods, and have a migraine, for example.
