And there's LOTS of empty retail/commercial space around.any empty store will take your money for how ever long that may be.

What kind of help do you need? Your willing to man the store?

Yep. Ill man the store. Got the retail/admin skills. Got the product skills too... been at that all my life... I got some cash...
What i would need is just cash support for the legal fight if it were to get raided. Thats all.. and i would be the face on that.

legal costs would be free if you went with Turmel's kits
i talked to Kirk and to try to go for lic moving to new address was $10k and more if it was involved a DG! way too much

If youre guessing thats what i would do if i opened a dispensary... i dont know...
But i would argue... why not, at this point?
A guy puts up his money to push the legal envelope and sticks his neck out... risking prison and everything he owns (proceeds of "crime") to benefit the "community"... to fight your fight?
I dont see that as being unreasonable, provided that the motivation is truly about bringing change...fair change.
Having said all that... no... i probably wouldnt charge top dollar. But a guy has to look after himself otherwise it is all pointless...
why not charge top dollar eh?...someone else is going to anyway right!!??
Risking "your neck?" to make coin off of sick people by over charging them for their meds?
How's that again?
Sick people need you to fight?
You think you are doing the sick a service, do you?
Unreasonable? Fair change?
THEY DONT NEED YOU!
They'll be just fine by themselves and a hellofa lot better off and RICHER for it to.
where've you been?
When were you born?
Riddle me that, batmon!

I dont care much for Marc Emery, but i do respect the man. After all he did for the last two decades so that you could smoke your dope and not be a criminal he did 5 years in prison. He could not and would not have done sick people that service without taking money from them, in many forms. Some might say he has done very very well for himself exploiting sick people. Others might say he took a hard, hard shot for the team and deserves to to be comfortable for it.
It is obvious where you stand on that one. And for that i call you a fn hypocrite.

The same thing Brian O'dea did... and every other BM dealer has done.
By seeling seeds to those who wanted to grow rec weed or needed to grow med weed, Emery supported the cause. He made money doing it, yes. Nothing wrong with that. And thatcis just the start.
When HC finally made weed exemptions for near death patients in 2001 it was because of guys like Emery, who "normalized" weed. By making it more mainstream and available he made it less "diabolical" to conservative minded people... the people with the power to make legislative changes to allow for it.
That medical program eventually grew to other illnesses because the conversation was already started. 15 years later very, very few people do not know that weed has medicinal qualities.
By the same token, every BM dealer did the same thing for rec weed, whether it was their intention or not. Yes they made money and a lot of it, but they stuck their necks out and as a result, after so many years, weed is now mainstream. They were the trailblazers for legalization. All these guys... and the biggest of them all is Brian O'dea.
And if you dont know that name... well... if you ever bought BM weed anywhere in Cananda chances are you bought it off him, ultimately.
The irony here is the the BM has brought about legalization and now they are a detriment to it. But that doesnt mean we should not be grateful to those pioneers....
Afterall, if it wasnt for families like the Sleemans, the Seagrams, the Molsons, the Kennedys... booze would probably still be illegal.

I just had to see my ignored content, so I can understand what's going on in the thread and I'm glad I did.
I gotta call you out again. You are claiming you have all these skills, well if history has shown us anything, it's shown that you clearly don't know what the fuck your talking about when it comes to cannabis and it's different products.
You once told someone to add WATER to their dry ice hash to get it to a putty like consistency.

I "wash" my dry ice hash sometimes to get full melt bubble sometimes. Showed pics too. Works great.
As for the add water to hash to get putty... i didnt tell anyone that. I posted a vid of an Afghani making black putty hash old school way in which he added water and worked it over an open flame. Not my idea... but evidently it has worked for a few hundred (thousand?)years...

My understanding is some received business liceneses as convenience stores initially.

Well that was what i was wondering. Did those places not have business licenses at all or did they have a license of some kind. Thanks...

Yeah, most did AFAIK. I only hear stories of course, but it does make sense. I could ask Steve at the VICs (he runs it) if you want more detail. Not sure how they went exactly as they really tried to be straight up by the book as much as is reasonably possible anyway.

That would be great. I would like to stay by the book as much as possible too. Thats the way to do it...then you have a solid argument when the shit hits the fan...
