But like I didn't sell heroin. I didn't sell meth. I didn't sell fentanyl. I tried not to sell drugs that I thought took people's souls. I tried to sell what I consider to be party drugs. And again, you know, that's that's you're just trying to rationalize your bad behavior. And you could absolutely say that I wouldn't contest it. I wouldn't say it's wrong. You know, that's what it is.

All of us have an inherent right to our own bodies. If you want to go eat McDonald's for the rest of your life and become 400 pounds and die of a heart attack, you're free to do so as an American. And I'm of the belief that if you want to do drugs, you should be free to do so. As an American, you have a right to put whatever you want in your body.

Unless someone else owns your body, no one has a right to tell you what to do with it. It's like me telling you, You can't wear your glasses over your eyes. You have to wear them on your forehead. Who am I? I have no right to your property. Who am I to tell you what to do? So that was kind of like my contention on that whole thing.

For me, it was like no international shipments, no selling stuff that, you know, heroin, meth, fentanyl, things that kill people. And, you know, not ripping people off, giving them the best quality product that I could source. On a global scale.

my only goal with this was to make like 200 grand. Cause like in Vermont, you could buy a house for a relatively cheap, like you can find a cheap house for like a hundred grand. So I was like, I buy a hundred thousand dollar house. And I have $100,000 left, which will let me pay the taxes and live off of it for long enough until I can find something to keep me afloat permanently.

But it was like between... my cousin's fee that I paid her and having to upgrade my cannabis setup and upgrade my alcohol and pay for shipping and you know, kind of evolve with the business. I always found myself always reinvesting. So like if I sold something, I made 800 bucks off of it. I would be like, all right, 400 bucks is going to be for shipping fees.

And the other 400 of that is going to be for gas money for my cousin to ship $400 worth of stuff, hopefully. So like, I made enough to make a profit, but like between my cousin and my ex, who I was still living with, I never got to that $200,000 line.
