Do crack dealers buy it as crack or cook it themselves? More profit than coke? Guessing it sells alot more. Just curious as I've seen someone buy an ounce of crack and just wondering why didnt they just buy some gear n do it themselves.
It's a mixture mate.
Some buy it in bulk ready made, some cook it themselves, some pay somebody else to cook it for them from their coke.
It has more profit than coke because it's been cut with bicarb, out of 1oz of pub food coke you'll get 3-4oz's of crack yet sell it for pretty much the same price per gram (plus repeat daily custom from smack/crack heads, you don't get that guaranteed business from sniff).
I find the reason why some don't do it themselves most of the time is because of convenience or ignorance.
Some can't be arsed cooking themselves and prefer the convenience of just being able to pick it up, chop it into deals and flog it.
Then there's also the fact that if you get caught cooking then that's a manufacturing charge which is far worse than supply or possession with intent.
Some simply don't know how to, even though it's as easy as making a coffee you don't have to be very bright to be a drug dealer....especially white and brown, most I've come across are as thick as 2 short planks.
The same can be said for weed though.
The Paki firm I buy shots from go through (at a conservative guess) about 5kg a week, 40-50oz of that is just in shots alone yet they still buy the stock in bulk from various growers at about £140 an oz.
They've tried talking me into growing for them several times, I just laugh at em.
