There are days when I wonder what it’s like to be a weed dealer, selling buds and making bank, but then I remember that it’s probably really stressful worrying about the law 24/7.

Also, that’s small fry, because selling a gram of chronic here and there pales into insignificance when compared to the money you can make trafficking cocaine around the world.

Just ask ‘Posh Pete’, as he’s been dubbed, who went from an unknown lad in Gloucestershire, England, to a smuggling kingpin.

Here’s VICE:

Pieter Tritton became an unlikely international drug kingpin until his arrest in Ecuador in 2005. He spent 9 years in some of the most dangerous prisons in South American before being released in 2015. He was nicknamed ‘Posh Pete’ by his underworld colleagues because of his incongruous appearance and accent.

I will just spell this out clearly before we get some petty email – I’m not advocating that you become an international cocaine trafficker, because it’s a bad life choice and I care deeply about your wellbeing.

OK, but I meant the first bit.

Given that he was locked up in some truly horrid prisons, I would say this actually serves as more of a cautionary tale:

Not for me, thanks.
