Be a good person, and you will flourish! I didn’t sell or have crack on me! I only sold crack for a few weeks when I was completely broke; I was selling pot to the folks who sold crack and had enormous piles of cash! The same weed trapping they do now! But spending $6,000 per pound for haze at age 17 is insane lol.”
