differences between entry-level multilevel marketing sales and entry level in the retail illicit street drugs trade:

1) with illegal drugs, a return is practically guaranteed. dope approaches the fungibility of cash.

2) space required for inventory volume is negligible

3) the initial investment amount is low

4) cash paid every day, no filing or paperwork

Granted, there are downsides--vulnerability to robbery, home invasion, getting mugged, shot, or killed. Jail, prison, parole.

On the other hand: unlike MLM, selling dope actually makes money right from the start, for nearly everyone who gets into the business.
