The government is more worried about it than the people..... Which shows you how detached the government is from us.
The reason we seem to have ths going in baby steps is because people are not used to the idea of treating weed like oregano....
Which is the way it should be treated.

Good morning everyone.
No hes not in the wrong business.
It is normally estimated that a new business opening the first two years will not make a dime but lose money.(99%) of business go out within two years.
The main reason's company's or business go broke Are one..Lack of management skills. The other is not enough funding to sustain the business until it is established.
The third one they never mention is borrowed capital.At least to begin with.You must have enough money to sustain until you can get the ball rolling.
Every rule and regulation made a businessman is to follow are designed to keep you..the small self employed businessman from ever becoming a large rich businessman.
Large company's and business lobby state legislators and federal legislators to promote laws that keeps the competition out of their business.
Kind of like a government run monopoly.
Part of what is going on especially in the marijuana industry a legal grower will have to contend with.
The local politicians will want their cut.
Growers with deep pockets will lobby for legislation(already have) To limit the number of licenses that will be let out to growers..effectively putting the competition out of business.
They will have those law makers ban home grows(see Washington states new laws)
On top of the huge sales tax the consumer will pay ,you as a grow business owner if you earn 200 K a year..just a example.
You will pay 39% income tax..then you will pay another 15 self employment ss tax.Then you are going to pay 11% state income tax is you live in cali for example.
Then you will pay another county tax.
If the feds legalize it..then there is another layer of tax.
Right there i just showed you almost 70% of your income gone and i havnt even gotten warmed up.
Not to mention bar coded tagged and tracked every plant.
They are going to tell you how much you can grow..where you can grow,what size and kind of container you can grow in,What kind of nute system you have to use.
Hell they are even talking about limiting the amount of THC in a plant you can grow.
Ive never been someone to tell someone else what to do unless it has to do with my business.
I mind my own business..im sure allot of folks on here are more independent minded than the average joe you will meet in society.
The reason we do what we do is we dont like to be told what to do by others.
Enough of the long windedness.

Are you taking applications/resumes??? hahaha
Ill work harder than anyone you know!!! To do this shit legally id work 12+ hour days all day everyday.
I saw chubbs had to fire someone cause they were sleepin on the job. I just dont understand how someone can be so lucky to not only live in a medical state and have a medical card, but lucky enough to work for a dispensary/shop/company and somehow fuck it up. Id be 30 minutes early and stay 30 minutes late everyday if i had the chance. Thats one of the only things stoppin me from movin right now is not having a job lined up for where i plan to go.

Shit thats the thing, whats stoppin me now is trying to find an employer that doesnt drug test. Im a handyman/painter and the only way to work with a contractor/subcontractor is to take a piss test. Which sucks! haha

very well put max420!! I guess a lot of the "make or brake" comes into play with #1 management #2 what size of company you are starting up and #3 what type of funds are needed to keep it all afloat. Every last little thing is so expensive nowa days, Shit me and my partner kept every single receipt, food, lodging, gas...and so on. The gas bill for that 8-10 months was around 3200. thats just gasoline, nothing else. Going into debt with a bank is always a bad idea, unless you know for sure your going to have the funds to back it up. I personally dont have any credit, therefore wouldn't get much from a bank...lol And like you said "on the table", the gov. scrapes everything off that table and you get whats left that is under the table, lol.
There is tax on every thing in this great country, surprised they havent put a tax on air, or water yet... And it all comes down to money and investing. And your right, I do what I do is because Im not going to work for 40-60 hrs a week for some one else, make 1200-1500 and take home 7-800. not frigging happening. I work my 60+ hrs a week and love what I do, I make my 1500+ every week and I keep it!! Well most of it, I probably invest 200 per week.
And there are soooo many people who have the money to put up right in the beginning and knock the competition out of the way. Another way to put some one out of business is to have a better product than they have, and sell it for the same or even cheaper. Im living proof of that theory, There are a few "big guys" in my area. I have to say, about once every week i have some one come to me and say... I went to joe shmo last week, he wanted 110 for that old piece of wood that had been laying around for 6+ months. Thats when I say well I have this nice new shiny piece of wood and I only want 80 for it, then they tell me they will see me next week. you always have to be on your game, the second you step off, you lose.

I wish they would just let me work for a week or a few days thats all itd take to shake the "lazy stoner" stereotype we get.
I work in the north east pretty far so im probably out of range of most of you guys. haha. But none the less id work a week for no pay if it meant i could prove to someone that smoking weed doesnt impair someones work ethic and if it does they already had a weak work ethic to begin with or little to no motivation.
