While most people associate organized crime and heavy drug culture with major cities like New York or Chicago, Joe exposes the violent, drug-infested reality of Indiana’s underground world and how he was pulled into it as a child. From drinking at age 10, to selling drugs before high school, to becoming the center of the biggest drug bust in his county’s history — Joe’s story is a raw, shocking look at addiction, trafficking, self-destruction, and redemption. 🧨 Indiana’s Hidden Drug Epidemic Joe breaks down the surprising truth about crime in Indiana — from meth labs to violent street culture, and why the state produces more criminals than people think. 👦 Drinking at 10, Dealing by Middle School Joe details how early childhood trauma, addiction in the home, and the environment around him pushed him into the game before he was even a teenager. 🚔 The Biggest Drug Bust in County History His first arrest ever became the largest drug bust his county had ever seen — and he still made it to his high school graduation the next morning. ⛓️ A Year in Indiana County Jail Joe recounts: -23-hour lockdowns in a tiny cell -Getting stqbbed with a pencil -Detoxing cold turkey -The psychological torture of county time 💊 Becoming the Ecstasy Plug in Tennessee In the early 2000s rave era, Joe connects with a source selling ecstasy pills at 10 cents per pill. He becomes the city’s main supplier, pushing 2,000 pills a week and making $20,000+ weekly while battling daily addiction. 💀 Addiction, Blackouts & a Life Spiraling Out of Control Years of alcohol, bud, and ex abuse destroy Joe’s mental state — leading to memory loss, violence, paranoia, and self-destruction. 🚨 The Night That Changed Everything With 1200 ex pills, several pounds of bud, and an unregistered firearm in his car, Joe gets pulled over — a scenario that could have meant life in prison.
