'I am a student and a drug peddler'

AHMEDABAD: Unlike their classmates, Amit, Nirav, Robin, Jignesh, think it is a waste of time studying for a nine-to-five job. They have already found a way of making quick bucks — drug peddling. They deliver drugs as casually as pizza delivery men, seeing it as a business opportunity rather than crime.
These youngsters from fairly affluent backgrounds have replaced the shady characters who accost you in dark alleys whispering “hash” and “marihuana”.
Alarmingly, drugs like LSD, ecstasy, cocaine, brown sugar, heroine, grass, are just a mobile call away. And those delivering them are none other than collegians. Whether it is the imposing lawn of a classy hotel or a farmhouse party, they promise a free delivery at your point.
“Just as profile of drug users has changed, so has the mode of supply. There has been a sea change in kind of suppliers of drugs controlled by a mafia syndicate,” says former intelligence officer Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).
He adds, “College students, who are hooked to drugs and need money to uphold the habit, are roped in the drug trade by drug peddlers to tap potential market in schools and colleges.”
However, insiders say that the margins are so high in drug trading that even students get lured into the trade.
Talking about traits of the trade, Nirav says, “Options just unfolded for me. For buying brown sugar and grass, I often met pushers in Gomitpur and near Teen Darwaza. One day, one of them asked me if I was interested in trading, I refused that very moment as I stay with my family here.”
This happened a year ago. Today, this 22-year-old commerce student delivers a variety of drugs — from ‘premium’ to ‘desi’.
“The drugs you get in the western part of the city are often adulterated and people fear going to the old city or Bavla for buying the original stuff. So I supplied drugs to friends. Why should I take such high risks for free?” asks Nirav. “I can’t afford to be caught, I belong to a business family and doing this for the fast money. Once I get settle, will quit the trade.”

I know several people who do this. After being held up at knife-point over ten dollars worth of weed, I admit, I can understand why this type of business is popular.
One of the guys I know quit his job and everything, because he makes so much money by buying bulk herb and selling it to rich college kids for $60-$80 per eighth..
Hard to argue with making 50 dollars off of 10 bucks worth of plant, at the risk of facing misdemeanor charges.

I'm not familiar with brown sugar either.
Maybe hash? or Heroin?
But I think they meant heroin when they said heroine. That cracked me up.

I really think taht either that is a regional spelling (where was this paper from?) or that their spell check flagged it, as i believe their spelling is reserved for the female of hero, isn't it?

Wow really? I went to a shitty high school where everyone knew the multiple dealers by name and no one really got in trouble. Don't think there was RCMP there but there was a student who looked way older then everyone else.

thats how I paid my way through school
-------------------- "America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve." - Tom Morello
