My parents once asked me why I didn't have enough savings to buy a house yet.

I almost lost my shit.

The only people my age that I know who own their own house are also drug dealers.

Guess I should sell drugs if I want a house.

In comic, dystopian reality, selling drugs (really just weed) was how I graduated college debt-free, and graduating without debt was the only way I could take out/afford a loan for a house.

So apparently, it's true what they say, whether planting or selling trees, the best time to do it was 10 years ago. The second best time is now! (Except don't)

I'm not sure if selling weed alone would be good enough in a legal state. I could corner the market on LSD tho. Ain't nobody got that 'round here!

I mean if you can work out how to synthesize it. I believe it requires a fair bit of equipment and chemistry knowledge.

And then get to sell the stamps you made yourself and nobody knows if you fly or cry, when taking it? You better already have a trusted distributor, already in the game, waiting. Probably you should not distribute it anywhere to close to home. You'll want to have any issues related to it, to exist preferably in another universe.

There are many more things to consider and plan beforehand, unless the plan is not to sell drugs.

I wasn't suggesting to actually do this. I was trying to point out that it's quite difficult to make in the first place....

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

i figured - i was also trying to back up your point.

english is not my native language, sorry for the misundertanding

I think I remember reading there's a legit tek somewhere out there; the catch is that there are also a lot of fake teks, either because they're supposed to be satire, or because someone's trying to look good on a random forum and they know no one will actually try it due to equipment requirements. Additionally, I think you can technically do it with stuff at home, but the quality and yield would probably be shit, which is something you don't want to fuck with when it comes to ergot.

You don't necessarily have to use ergot though that is probably simpler. I believe there is a total synthesis.
