Summary

The conversation moves to the economics of drug dealing: Behnam contrasts low-margin businesses like pizza cheese and packaging with the 400% margin on drugs. He says a gram of cocaine costs about £60, and Sheffield consumes huge amounts daily. They discuss gang territory boundaries in Sheffield (e.g., S5/S6 English gangs vs. S7/S10/S11 Pakistani gangs) and point to shootings as evidence of rivalries. They also mention friends or acquaintances who use cocaine, like Marshall at a wedding.
