The infamous Vice.com has weighed in on the life of times of drug dealers in Canberra selling cocaine and more to young tradies and public servants.

Perhaps most disappointing is how little they earn for the colossal risks they run:

Canberra has a lot of wann-be dealers. Their biggest mistake is that they’re too flashy with their drugs, money, and connections. Others just sell enough to cover the costs of getting high. But I’m a big believer in don’t get high off your own supply. It’s a cliche, but by sticking to this I usually turn around three grand a month profit, with the majority of that coming from coke. I buy it for around 80 to 85 percent of what I sell it for, depending on how pure it is.
