I cant be bothered to do the math, but I assure you that if you do you are looking at one hell of a heap of cash lining your pockets if they are indeed large enough to hold said cash.
I think we both know you cannot get 100% pure uncut coke outside of south america, as it's a paste which vaporizes. A difficult (well, not easy) chemical process is involved to turn this paste into something sniffable. Coke with less than 50% purity is intended to smoke, you're dealing with crackheads which is a can of worms by itself. Not to mention the £ 25.000 investment you are talking about, good and trustable employees which are not easy to find, security, their salary, losses due to stealing, deals gone bad, work involved and time it takes to distribute the 1000 packages you make.

Like I said, I'd rather be dealing used cars. There's no such thing as easy money, if you have the intelligence, the $50k you need to get started like this would be better spent on starting a legitimate business.
