I used to do this so here's how.
Buy Wholesale and sell retail.
For example, one could acquire 4 oz. of weed for $200 which would sell for $5/gram. The math is simple.
4Oz = 112 Grams.
5$/Gram X 112 = $560
So, your quarter-pound of weed that cost you $200 just turned into over $500. $300 profit on a quarter pound.
Higher quality product usually requires a larger purchase.
For example a pound of the "one-hit-wonder" might cost $3000 which might seem like alot of an investment, however, selling that for $10/gram would yield almost $5000.
You'd be surprised at how fast a pound can disappear from inventory.
There ya go. That's how drug dealers make their money. Now, don't get any stupid ideas about doing it. It's EXTREMELY illegal and I got out of doing it a long time ago (BEFORE I got into any trouble: and believe me, if you do it long enough you WILL get into trouble, it's inevitable).

they buy an ounce for $100. Sell 4 quarters for $50 each, thus they make $100. Simple as that. It;s all about who they know and how much quantity discount they can get. think of Wal mart. they can buy in bulk so it costs less, then sell it for a huge mark up.

Drug dealers make their money the same way every other business person does. They buy low and sell high. If they buy an oz of pot for $15, then the oz that you would buy would have to be cut for you to buy it at the same price. Maybe they will sell .5 oz pot and .5 oz oregano for $15. Most would buy a kilo for a lower price and then mark it up and/or cut it to make a profit. The other thing is that a lot of drug dealers are really into it for free drugs, keeping enough to satisfy their habit and selling the remainder to pay the bill.

They buy a lot of a certain drug and break it down into smaller parts. When you buy a large quanity of something you usually get a discount.

Just like any other business, they sell it for more than they pay for it.

Well, they don't rent space from Wal Mart and probably ... they don't pay taxes.
