in your bank account.

But the nearly one million Americans

arrested each year for marijuana

are caught on possession charges,

and never even sold a joint.

Given the risks, you'll want to

save your money as fast as you can

and start trading

more expensive drugs.

I got into cocaine,

and I loved it.

When it comes to cocaine, America

is the land of opportunity.

It's the number one consumer

of coke in the world.

The largest study of bank notes

has found that nearly

nine out of 10 bills

circulating in the U.S.

are tainted with cocaine.

It's a law of nature.

Where there's demand,

there's supply.

And that's where you come in.

The life of a coke dealer

isn't easy.

When you start out,

you're alone, unprotected,

at the bottom of a ruthless,

international crime syndicate.

Most of the world's cocaine is manufactured

by drug lords in South America.

They smuggle over 500 tons into the U.S.

every year.

Along the way, it passes through

a long line of distributers,

until a couple

of grams get to you,

a pawn in a massive,

70 billion dollar game.

Pawns, man, in the game,

they get capped quick.

They be out the game early.

Unless they some smart ass pawns.

Curtis Jackson, otherwise known

as 50 Cent, had to learn quick.

My mom hustled to provide

for me, financially.

And her friends were all the people that

were out selling drugs as a lifestyle.

Curtis was raised

without a father,

and his mother was murdered

when he was eight years old.

My mom was all I had,

so when I lost her, I lost everything

that was pretty much good in my life.

Her old friends bought me things,

then they got tired

of just buying me things.

They gave me an eight

ball of cocaine.

And they told me,

if anybody bothers you,

you know, you tell them

you got it from us,

and you'll be all right

in the neighborhood.

I was about 12 years old

when that happened to me.

That's the incredible

thing about cocaine.

You can use it to make ends meet

when there are no other options.

You can be anybody, even a kid.

I would say about 14 or 15. That's when I

pretty much started into the drug trade.

Let's say you're down and out, like

John was, living in South Central L.A.,

crashing at your family's place,

with no money, not even for food.

We were living in the back

of my uncle's house.

He had this lemon tree, and one

day he came out and he was like,

We didn't have no food. You know, me and

my mom was eating lemons for dinner.

So, after that, I had to get paid.

The money that you could make

on the corner was real good.

I started off with small amounts,

then I got to the big amounts.

Crack, the most popular form of

cocaine sold in the open market.
