College/University??

Re: College/University??

36/50, actually.

Working behind a counter selling marijuana isn't going to be massively lucrative, either. You need a license in Cali if you want to open your own dispensary, and the possession limit is something like 8 ounces and 18 plants.

But even so, under state law, medical marijuana providers must operate as non-profit collectives, meaning that you charge medical pot users only for reimbursement of costs.

If you want to seriously profit from marijuana, you have to go illegal -- but the massive ongoing raids in Cali lately and the recent busting of your dealer should show how sustainable that sort of profit is. When you consider the foregone labor opportunity cost and damage to credit/record and all other foregone opportunities, the risk just isn't worth it, and the profits inherent in going legal aren't all that great.

In other words, if you really want to live comfortably, invest in education.

Re: College/University??

you act like I don't know California law, I'm not about to ****ing outline my past and future for you guys when everything is still FEDERALLY illegal.

My reputation as being a genuine, good-hearted, well-liked person is what precedes me, I also am known for having the best pot, but that's on the side.

Re: College/University??

Yes, everything is still federally illegal. Even within a legalized state framework -- even with a license (which won't protect you from federal crimes) -- the profits just aren't all that great.

And what do you mean "known for having the best pot" -- your dealer got busted. Your supply is gone. Unless you're growing it yourself, you can only claim to know where to find decent pot and know how to sell it -- and even then, you can't do a whole lot unless you want to get canned by the authorities by overstepping your boundaries.

10 years down the line, even if you made a massive illegal profit in year 1, the guy who went to college and worked his ass off will have more money.

Re: College/University??

What's weird that this type of discussion was brought up yesterday in my sociology class. It's actually really easy to get a license to sell pot in California supposedly.

It's not super tough to do, but that's, imo, because it's not all that profitable to do it legally. Even if you try to increase your economies of scale, you'll either get raided or you'll only break even years down the road after your investment. Compare it to an actual education, and the rate of return is no contest.

Well of course not, one with an education is bound to make more money, all I was saying that it's easily accessible to obtain the license haha.

Re: College/University??

I know a little bit of everything, nothing too in depth in any particular trade aside from my own, but give me an hour tops with a leading professional in any field and I'll be able to perform amongst the top marginal percentile with little work history, I have to ability to think things like 8 steps ahead, so doing pretty much any job becomes inanely easy, unless it involves fine motor control my body renders physically impossible thanks to horrible spinal injury.

Claiming that you were delusional, at this point, would be nothing short of an understatement.

you know some hocus pocus, bender? i need a little help.

Re: College/University??

Selling pot isn't ****ing hard, you just need to be really educated in pot. I could write books from just one year of learning from the old wise pros.

I transformed 80 bucks into a multi-thousand dollar underground business in under a year, I'll be able to do it no problem on the west coast too

The marijuana industry is literally no different than real finance. It's just looked down upon because it's ILLEGAL.

In California there's a huge legal trade, and I'm going to be a very big part of it when I'm there.

Rubix, you realize the ONLY reason I'm discussing this openly is because I'm no longer doing ILLEGAL business.
...
With my current profit margin (which is smaller than what I'll have in California) coupled with the fact that my product overhead is cut in half, with LEGAL businesses that are licensed to sell marijuana.
...
These days I'm becoming an activist because there are a LOT of legal things involved in the marijuana industry that you seem to know absolutely nothing about, and proceed to add your pseudo-intellectualism to your arguments so that you can condescend on those in a lesser position than you.

Re: College/University??

I'm sure you'll have no problem selling in California - where while the demand is most likely higher than wherever you currently reside, as is the supply. You'll have some serious competition and will have to reestablish connections, as well as regain a "reputation".. all things easier said than done.

Re: College/University??

I already have connections, I have nothing to establish, I'm posting on a forum that I'll probably completely ignore when I run out of time again, and the level of serious analysis that's going into a 19 year old ex-pot dealer that made stupid amounts of money is pretty hilarious to be honest.

Just proves that I can really cause a stir wherever I go, and I'm gonna do great things with or without the approval of a community that seemed to stay in a time lock when it didn't formally exist

Nothing in this thread has involved "serious analysis" -- it's just clear you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
