Was a crazy day at work today, first the 80k guy then at the end of the day, one of the doctors was telling us that his son just moved to Maine to, “tend a garden” for $45/hr. Dafuq!! I’m in the wrong business. Weed is not something that many speak of at work, so twice in one day and one by a doctor, crazy. It is funny to listen to some people’s opinions on the subject, many are clueless. I had to kinda slide outa the conversation, I’m a lil passionate about it and it’s hard to listen to the nonsense but I didn’t wanna let on like I knew to much
Sounds like being a gardener is the new plumber.
I say that because it wasn't that long ago when it was reported that "City People" and so forth in the UK and, especially, London were jumping to training as plumbers because of reports in the press that plumbers were earning ridiculous amounts of money.
They soon found out, the hard way, that the numbers earning the big money were at the top of their skillset and experience and were working their guts out, people were soon heading back to their "old" jobs with tails between their legs.
Oh, someone said something about getting everything in writing. That's still realistically worth as much as the paper it's written or printed on, as in not much. I mean, someone has just relocated half way across the country and then finds out that things can sound too good to be true so what's he going to do, where does he go? He's fucked, ain't he, he has a choice of take being shit on or be in deep shit, especially if somewhere to stay is part of the deal. "Trapped" only begins to describe it, so how much is that bit of paper worth, think you'll be able to sue someone?
No, this is a typical side effect of any vacuum created thanks to legalisation, rippers will rip those gullible enough to believe the tales, the stupid who believe what is too good to be true will get shafted, as they would over Nigerian Penis Enhancement Suppositories from Canadian pharmacies, life will go on as normal, and we'll laugh at those who come back with their tails between their legs.
