After college I sold cannabis
When I was in college it was the late 1970s, and the country was a very different place. I was quite serious about my studies, and earning a degree, but I was also very worried about the Vietnam conflict, because after I graduated I might get drafted! I worked hard, but with the specter of war looming over me, I also played hard. Every weekend I would pack up my VW van with some extra clothes, a surfboard, and a fat sack of marijuana, and take a road trip to the beach. I would spend every weekend on the sands, puffing Purple Haze, and relaxing. I was lucky, because by the time I graduated the Vietnam conflict was over, so I could keep hitting the beach and smoking cannabis as much as I wanted. The problem came that I needed a job, because after college I couldn’t just crash in the dorm and subsist on such little money. In those days I just needed enough cash for gas, and for cannabis, and everything else sort of worked out on its own. Instead of finding an office job, I just bought a double batch of cannabis one time. I kept a little piece for myself, and sold the rest for twice what I had paid, and then re-invested that money back into another bag of cannabis. Within two weeks I was smoking as much cannabis as I wanted for free, and making an extra 200 bucks a week on top of it! At that point in time, 200 bucks a week plus unlimited cannabis was a pretty good living for a guy like me.
