Is there some type of crime for being out of the job market?
I think a smart employer would care more about you did while you were working instead of why you weren't employed.
Even if you were selling drugs, which I hope you weren't, you probably were entrepreneurial and made more than the job you are applying (of course without more life threatening risk).
As a drug dealer you may have managed a team of employees.
Handle merchandise, shipping and kept quotas. Finance and distribution services.
All valuable skills for a legitimate managerial position.
Considering drug dealers are low life scumbags that destroy our community, you probably even had to do some Public Relations to keep reputable organizations and churches from putting you in jail.
All transferable skills for someone to make a better name for themselves.

do you do anything artistic? Paint, draw, write? Tell them you were a full time artist for a while chasing your dream. You lived the life, had fun making money off your art, and now you're back in the job market looking for something more stable as you've evolved into another stage in life.
As visionpoet and Heist say,
I have even quit jobs to go on artistic excursions. That's not something you want to focus on, but there's nothing wrong with meeting a personal goal and then coming back and saying I did it, I got it out of my system, this is what I learned, that I dont want to do it again, that you want more stablity or a routine schedule. You like working around other people, or going to a place of employment instead of being at home alone all the time.
But then focusing on all the beneficial skills that you learned and can bring back to the job. How you are more mature, more focus, and inspired. And just not distracted, knowing you don't want to do it again or can be more productive with a team or team player.
I have done independent study and then come back to the job with made skills. However, this time, the skills start paying for themselves and I haven't worked for anyone else in maybe 5 years.
I'm not apologizing for that.
