That was his mistake. Selling. I would of kept it. You'd never have to go out and buy again. You'd be set for life

We have square grouper wash up around here every so often. I've never stumbled upon any but I've often wondered what I would do. You've got two things to worry aboot. First is the cops. Second is the original owner of the stuff who most likely would want it back. If your day job is not as a drug dealer it would be pretty difficult to suddenly move that kind of weight without lots of people finding out. Probably best not to get involved at all.
Turn most of in just to cover your arss. Then maybe a year later try to unload the rest! Either way it's not like weed! You could sell ounces for ever and never be broke or dry!
