Drug "Empires"

[Swinzler]

So, does anyone else's school have a kind of drug "empire"? I really want to know if this is normal at all because I have some game of thrones tier shit going on behind the scenes at my school, and I just find it fucking bizarre.

Some of my classmates used to smoke weed, but nothing as hardcore as a drug "empire" ever occurred. o.o

I have seen once a person smoking inside the school (The first I saw was using a eletronic cigarette I think, dosen't looked like a ordinary one) , but there's no such as a "drug empire" on my school. However outside my school, there's like ton of them in my country, but they are just adults though.

Me and some friends used to work in the school store and mostly fucked around and used it as a front to sell weed, I dunno if that counts as a "drug empire" but there's that

Lol bruh. I'm certain Drumpf and the Feds are watching this but here I go.

So, I used to know a guy, let's call him Joe. Joe was a good friend of mine during senior year in 2015. He was chill; he was funny as hell though he was also the school's greatest pickup artist (he used to talk to me about all his sexual exploits) and a complete basehead. He used to smoke weed all the time (his motto was, "You go to high school, I go to school high") and did shit like mollies, cocaine, etc. He even did mollies, cocaine, weed, and alcohol all at the same time.

Joe happened to be in some deep shit. While I wouldn't call him a drug lord, he'd grow his own weed and he'd sell it in school. There's an unspoken underworld in high school of drug dealers, "cartels" (if you can call it that) and ranks; it's very loosely organized and decentralized because schools are fucking hot. Joe was good friends with another guy, let's call him Brady. Both Joe and Brady knew people in life that had supplies. Obviously, the school is one very small part of the larger aspects of what we shall call "the system".

Obviously, they weren't the only ones. There were plenty of dudes making deals, building influence, etc underground. Typically these deals were made in the shadier areas of the school where there weren't many cameras or guards patrolling, and drugs were very well disguised (fast food bags for example). Deals were made during class hours as well, after school, before school, lunch, etc. People would cut school in order to get their fix.

Did this influence the higher ups of the school, aka the popular kids (or, as I like to call them, the oligarchy)? More than probably. A lot of the players seemed to always have connections with the popular kids in school. Looking back at it, my connection with Joe probably got me into the popular realm of the school in senior year.

Moral of the story: connections are key

[soli]

definitively
the teachers have no idea tho

[James Comey]

I think most teachers aren't bothered to take out what's essentially a drug empire.

[Alucard483]

Hans is absolutely right. It is ALL about the connections, and having what people want makes you a popular guy even if you are not popular by default.

But drug empire? lol

In high school it may seem like an empire but I can almost assure you anyone there is small time. High school lacks the true money to make an empire because, well... its mostly pills and weed. Every now and again you will get someone that changes the game with something like $5 grams of chronic because he has an outrageous connection but not even that could be called "Empire"

The only thing I can even think of that was close to an "Empire" was a kid that had family ties to the Chaldean Mafia that graduated my freshman year that could find you whatever you wanted. I mean whatever you wanted. I could have bought a handgun off him if I had had the money. And so while he played the roll of supplier to many of the school dealers, and was sort of like a top of the food chain status for high school, outside he was just another gangbanger rolling around in his fancy car with his budies, some coke and a sawn-off shotgun that still had to kick it up to someone else.

[James Comey]

Yeah. I'm not gonna go into too much detail because I'm slightly paranoid but pretty much everyone was just a local weed carrier who just had connections. Definitely at the bottom of the even larger food chain so to say.
