Good quick investments.

So I have been saving up for awhile now, managed to get a decent amount saved up.
Now I am wondering what I should spend my money on. I want to invest some so I can make some more semi quick cash from it.
Some ideas I have been considering:
1: Sell kratom on Craigslist. I live in a college town so I am sure people would buy it.
2: Buying and re selling cheap factory glass. Also becouse we are a college town their are tons of glass shops. They all over charge pretty bad, if I found the right deal on 5-10+ bongs for a couple hundred I could re sell all but one and make some $ + get a free bong...
3: I could keep saving, but that feels pointless. I already have enough I could invest a solid chunk and still have a nice savings.
I have been buying lots of musical equipment while saving, some of which I plan to re sell but its hard to let go of gear I may get more anyways.
Thoughts? My main concern with kratom is if it would be sketchy re selling it like that, + maybe meeting some sketchy tweakers or junkies.
With the glass it is that it could take some time to make my money back. Say I spend 250$ on 10 25$ bongs. I would need to sell 6 for around 40$ to make most of my money back, and selling 5-10 bongs could take at least a few weaks potentially. They could also show up broken but if I use a reliable seller they should send replacements.

Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

This is what I do
My fantasy sports guy who i get my lineups from has never lost more than 2 days in a row in 18 months, so I wait for a losing day, bet say $100. If I win I get double the amount I put in. If I lose I bet $200 the next day. Then $300 the next day if it's another loss. Once I win, I wait for another losing day and repeat. He's never lost more than 2 days in a row so I've made back all the money I've invested and everything I put in is all profit so there's no risk of losing anything out of my own pocket. with a grand you can double it in a month. PM me if you want more info.

Hmmm, I am not too into betting personally. I use to consider some stuff like that.
I am really looking for investments, not gambling. Even if you supposedly have a foolproof system.
That does sound like a sweet system for ez extra cash though

This is foolproof for me, I've made back everything I've invested and everything that goes in is profit. The reason they don't call this gambling is because there's skill involved. 56 billion a year industry, I'll take some .

weed is a pretty good investment and easy to get rid of.
kratom seems iffy. i'll bet a bunch of people say they didnt get high off of it and tell everyone else not to buy
kratom is really hit or miss imo

I doubt you have enough to warrant visitting a financial advisor, but hopefully there are some financial majors here, or through another medium that can give you advice for the market...
Otherwise, I'd invest it in what you enjoy. If you like rebuilding cars, go to an auction and buy/flip some cars. If you like selling kratom, do it! Be careful.
I'd probably invest it into culinary school myself.

Weed is actually good advice for me, I live in Oregon and have a lot of connections.
But it is very costly, I would have to start with an outdoor operation or have someone fund most of my indoor setup and pay them off.
I was considering buying cheap land for this purpose.
I am good about giving people nice descriptions of herbs, I would definitely let people know they might feel a whole lot or almost nothing depending.

Flip pins. Buy ten packs for ~$50, Resell for about 15 a pin.
Or even better produce pins of your own. You can get them produced for about 75 cents to 2 each depending on the pin and quantity. Make 100-200 or so then sell them for what ever; $15 is the usual price at most drops.
It's a super fun hobbie with a very high potential for making some serious bank.

I love creative stuff like that so thanks for the suggestion!
Awhile back I was planning on getting a rock tumbler so I could polish rocks I find or buy to re sell.
Would love to get into metal working too ad gem cutting eventually.
