The article described the kids working on "weed farms" in exchange for "beer, food, and weed". Maybe they're selling the gleanings?

That makes sense for weed, but they probably have a larger supply chain if they're dealing on a day to day basis. Also, the post mentions "flipping" LSD - they buy it for a lower price and sell it for a higher price. Someone has to sell it to them.
