This isn't a poor or disadvantaged person she knows. It is a drug trafficker. Not just a drug dealer but someone who distributes drugs to drug dealers. I would imagine they know exactly what they are doing and have no intention of quitting as I'm sure it is a very lucrative profession. This is not a small time, oops I made a mistake type of criminal.
