Baltimore Carl shares a unique story of how his great grandmother unknowingly kickstarted his journey into the drug trade. Growing up in Baltimore’s Lafayette projects, Carl lived with his grandmother, who ran a small store in her apartment selling everyday items. At 17, after moving to a residential area called Forest and Biddle, Carl officially began selling weed, but his first supply came from an unexpected source—his great grandmother. She had about three pounds of old, low-quality marijuana stored for years, which was ineffective when smoked. Learning to “upgrade” the product, Carl soaked it with Jack Daniels and microwaved it, improving its appeal enough to sell. His great grandmother’s stash provided him with seed money to purchase better quality weed and enter the hustle seriously. Carl’s early lessons from his family included strict secrecy, shaping his discreet and strategic approach to the business from the start.
