I think most drug dealer live with there mom because it can saved them money and the money that they got from the drug could keep the money to there self, that why you see most drug in nice car or nice clothes and sometime they may help their mother out with the money that they got from the drugs that they sold.

the reason i think that drugs dealers live with their mother is because cannot buy a house. and the reason is because they may make a but load but if they dont have a cover job, like a docter then there is not way to prove that the money just fell from the sky

The reason why i think low-level drug dealers live with their mom is not because they don't have the funds to do otherwise; it's because they wouldn't have it any other way.To own property is to be traceable, and it makes that property seizable when one is busted. Better to put the Escalade or whatever in their momma's name and "stay" with any number of others.

I think that most drug dealers stay with their mothers is because that is one less bill that they have to worry about. And because it saves them more money. But I don't think that is safe because most drug dealers have people after them trying to kill them and people go back and try to kill their closest people instead of killing that specific person. And they do that because it hurts more.

Well one big thing...its not uncommon to get shot on the job.
Another thing you dont make enough money to pay bills and what not, unless your a drug lord then you most likely live in cuba or something.

well, alot of drugdealers still live with their mom's because alot of them don't know what to do with themselves. they've been exposed to that kind of life and nothing else, so to them, there is no hope. why try? it's not that they want to live with there mom's or the fact that they have to, it's just that they think it's the only way. when you're a drug dealer, your dreams of having money and nice things isn't acheivable. but when you're already so deep into selling drugs and you realize that you've messed your life up, then you just give up. but most of them don't realize that it's not to late. but if you look at the other side of things alot of drug dealers still live with there mom's because they care about their family. pretty much, their family is all they have so they take care of it. because if you look at statistics most drug dealers live in the ghetto...families in the ghetto have very low income, so drugs bring in extra money. so it's probably a combination of a few things. material wise and emotional wise.

i think that drug dearlers live with there mom is because they have to put everything in there mothers names. because they get there money by dirty money. they dont have a real source of income that is from the goevernmret. so they can buy anything or get any cridet. so there mom helps them and they put everything in there moms name.....

The reason i think drug dealers live with their parents is because they can not buy a house a person selling the house would know they couldn't make the money from the job they probably don't have.They also want to keep all the money they can for the drugs there addicted to.Its pathetic!!

I think most drug dealers live with there parents is because they dont have enough to pay rent. they dont want to buy a house with no job and people wonder how is he paying rent and stuff with no job. if they live with there parents they dont have to pay for food and electricity.

Drug dealers live with their parents because they have no way of affording a house or apartment. They do make alot of money but if they lived in an apartment or house and had no job people would wonder how they got the money to pay for it. So they just use their parents for a place to live.

I think drug dealers live with their mom is because they can't afford to buy a house and actually keep the job that they havin dealing drugs. If they start selling drugs and then try to get a house and then lose their drug dealing job, they won't have any money to pay for a house.

I think drug dealers live with their mothers is because they think they can cover for them since they are their kid. I also think its because they want to use it as a cover.

I believe that drug dealers live with their mothers because first, they don't want to take responsibility for their own lives. They might feel safer living with their mothers instead of just themselves. Drug dealers go through a depression stage at times and if they live alone, it might make the situation worse, but if they live with their mother, they will have some kind of comfort. Even though they feel good about living with their mom, they are most likely making the wrong decision...when drug dealers are in waist deep and going in the bad direction towards their "boss", the "boss" most likely wants to be aggressive and fight back or we can say "kill". Not kill the drug dealer, but a close relative or friend. This is a way to get to the drug dealer and have him or her get aggressive, and soon it will lead to prison for the both of them or even death. Drug dealers want to feel their mothers protection but yet making the wrong decision.
