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.

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

[foilman8805]

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

[bender5]

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

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

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.

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.

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.

oh ok

[HoneyMelonCalibrator]

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.

[bender5]

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.

I..... what?

[bender5]

If you had any common sense the reason that it seems as though I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm smart enough not to say too much.

All sorts of elusive, very off the wall answers that couldn't ever be used as "evidence". Our government doesn't have the same kind of liberal views on the world as me, and I'd rather not be put in jail because I need to try to prove myself.

You guys can think what you want, but I'm a well respected person, and if I don't have the respect of flashflashrevolution.com then whatever, I was never expecting to speak to any of you again when the site died last year anyway.

The Weed Money Man

honestly though, i think you're a ****in clown.

No, you don't know what you're talking about because you don't know what you're talking about. You can't make stupid-ass comments/claims and they say "I actually know what I'm talking about, but I just can't tell you those things because it's illegal." Even if we put the drug stuff aside, your claims about skill/ability/education are just horribly retarded.

I'll gladly give you an hour and put your skills to the test. I'll even go really, really, mind-numbingly easy on you. Are you going to whine and make excuses like little girl, or are you going to put some teeth in your otherwise hollow statements?

[bender5]

Think I'm a clown all you want, I'm not trying to act cool by having pot associated with my name.

I'm probably the ONLY person I know in New Jersey that could take a look at a menu, then have someone lay out the menu in front of me with no labels and be able to tell you exactly which strain is which, and probably give you some interesting info on the genetics as well as how it's grown.

I take what I do VERY seriously, and if you guys even had a remote understanding of what really goes down in the day of life of someone like me, you'd understand that saying even half of the still intensely vague details of my life is pretty bold.

Having a paycheck working behind the counter is cool, but that's not how you make your money, if I were to disclose all the secrets behind the real money in the marijuana trade everyone would think they could do it, but I know I can and have proved I can.

[leonid]

They are calling bs on how much you earn. If you want to avoid it, you need to post some proofs e.g. pictures of your paycheck etc

(ofc you could just PM rubix if you don't want to publicly disclose those)

I don't do stupid flashy things like take pictures of large stacks of cash, that's just plain dumb.

If you want to really to get to know me, you have to meet me in person, because I refuse to discuss things that really give away actual detail of my real life, as apposed to a general summary to get a good gist.

[darkshark]

I read the first page of this thread, and then this page directly after.

Horribly, horribly, derailed.
I'll agree with everyone else, bender, you're retarded.

On topic. After highschool I went to community college and took a few art classes, realized it was a waste of time and dropped out. Taught myself a bunch of stuff while working as a delivery driver, and as of about 8 months ago, got a job you'd normally need a masters degree for. College is overrated, at least in my field.

And what job would that be?
