teenage drug dealer
In the summer, my cousins would come down from Montreal and stay for a few weeks. They were older than me and I didn’t spend a lot of time with them. But one of them, Mike, was selling drugs and he would bring pot and hash down with him. He told me that if I would sell five joints for him, he’d give me one. For every five I sold, I’d get one. So I started selling pot. I was 12 years old.
Mike also said that if I picked mushrooms with him, he’d buy them from me. That first year that I started picking, I got three ounces. I sold them to Mike for $100.00 each. That’s $300.00. My first drug deal. I was on my way. The next year, I picked about a half pound (eight ounces). The mushrooms would grow in the fall, from September to November. I’d pick them after school and sometimes I’d get up before school and go picking. I soon had enough money to buy a motorcycle – a Yamaha 200 street and dirt. With this I could travel around and find all the best fields for picking. Most years, I would get about 2 pounds. Instead of selling them for cash, I would mail them to Montreal and Mike would send back hash on trade. I would sell the hash by the gram. It was always good hash and I could get $20/gram.
By the time that I was 16, I was making a lot of money. Enough money that I could afford cocaine. Soon, I was having that sent down from Montreal too. I was a sixteen year old cocaine dealer. This was in the early eighties in small town Prince Edward Island. Cocaine dealers were few and far between at that time. But I was headed for the big leagues...
