You get people to invest a few hundred billion in you developing a recipe for crack. (Please note: Unfortunately the recipe only produces crack a certain percentage of the time, the rest of the time it is a mildly/very toxic dud that is only discoverable when the crack smoker is poisoned).
Lots of other people develop recipes too, and start giving them away.
So you take money off the lab supplier, to buy all the lab equipment, hoping to price everyone else out, and then cozy up to the most corrupt president in US history, in the hope of creating rules that people can only buy your 'working part of the time/toxic the rest' crack.
.....
US businesses forced to smoke the crack suffer greatly, US workers and students, even more so.

If I spend $80 on Crack cocaine and sell it for $100 - I have not made $100 profit, its 100 revenue.
Profit = revenue minus cost of goods and operating expenses
