if you're even somewhat ambitious, realistically a few grand. Think about in a years time you figure low level guys still make in the low ballpark of 20-30K/year. Enough to survive and keep you satisfied you don't have to work a "real job" even though that's about the same annual salary as you'd make at one.

But obviously there's high level guys who have legitimate and illegitimate businesses alike that could be making 100K+/month .

Not to mention the sanctioned dealers throughout the country with the unofficial okay to push coke/H. You gotta figure some of those guys are doin major business well into the millions month to month
