sorry to ramble but i am stoned and i got rained out at work but one last thing .... u are 18 my best advice is to be your own boss..... start a business the housing market is in shambles maybe start a business small at first that comes in and cleans up all these foreclosed homes after former owners trash place or just get them up to walk through selling condition u establish a relationship with banks and handle all their assets they take..... after a dozen or so houses u just run a crew of guys and u are free to do what u want with $$$ and more free time and the economy will suck for awhile so lotta homes now that need to be cleaned up and more in future...if u dont have any remodeling skills u can just run a cleaning crew that gets home more presentable to buyers looking to remodel home and flip it just an idea good luck:blsmoke:

Fuckin right man, its like U are reading my mind. I believe if I can get the whole world stoned, wars would stop and help coax the public's head out of their asses to realize my weed is the key. the key that will open the minds and stop the insanity of the government's frantic Christian superiority that has been fuckin the world up since the beginning of human history.
and if I can make bank on that, its all the better. we should hook up man try to make our dream a reality. i dont plan on just growing weed for a living, i have many other talents, weed just makes me the happiest.

I have an electrical technician degree, and I was in the electricians union apprenticeship for 3yrs and I was in the UAW - the Union for Auto Workers for less than a yr, and in neither field was I paid, nor told that I would ever make $100,000 per yr. even as a journeyman.

maybe a contractor bcuz they work big jobs for themselves, but never a journeyman, theres a lot of other ppl above journeymen (including master electricians, master carpenters etc. and foremen, supervisors, managers, engineers.) journeymen are only a step above apprentices.

and in order for him to grow weed, he himself would actually have to get a MMJ card. Im from ohio and I know for a fact its extremely difficult to get one of those, even for legit medical conditions.

If U wanna save up to move outta ohio, then by all means do it. figure out a game plan and stick to it, just dont make ur motiviation "to grow weed as a career"...do it to prove to yourself that you can do anything U put your mind to and you will see a much larger picture than "the whole world stoned".... fuck the world...anything that happens to mankind is caused by mankind right? U cant undo the Ozone holes, or the downward spiral of our american economy. But U can pave the road for a brighter future for yourself and your family.

Ive worked for different employers in my field, including Best Buy and Mitsubishi, and I was never told I would make $100,000 per yr. I barely see $35,000 with my degree. but thats only bcuz - I failed to plan and persistently work my plan - when I was younger.

Go out there and see what else is in the world son. I guarantee there will be a time U will take a break from growing, maybe not from smoking but Im sure that once growing consumes ur life and U have no friends U will regret it.

U will look back and realize that U coulda actually done something progressive to change the world, but U were too high to do anything.:blsmoke::blsmoke:

your gonna 'save the planet' by growing weed as a career? no matter how much research U do its not gonna save anybody's life. weed wont stop u from dying. ur not a superhero, u cant save the world. U still have to convince the world that what you are doing is the right thing, till then why would they even want you to save them?

U cant get a good job in the "real world" and be able to take care of Ur family if U choose to grow weed as a career. U wont even be able to support ur self. Ur only 18yrs old. U got ur whole life ahead of u.

Growing weed makes U a very closed off person to the world. Ur in the prime of ur life, dont waste it by dedicating it to growing weed. Weed will always be here, go live ur life, find out what else ur good at in life.

if U get a degree in botany, horticulture, biology who's to say U wont be stuck at some crummy intern position? as a test technician, maybe with the way the economy is going U might only get a desk job till U finally break away and do your own thing.

Itll be hard to get those positions anyways bcuz im sure they all drug test.


do yourself a favor....go to the book store and pick up a book on growing your wealth. im reading 'think and grow rich' at the moment. this guy napolean hill has some great advice and philosophies on not just getting rich, but improving the overall quality of ones life.

what'd I say, I ain't need no job in the 'real world' til I have a family, and I don't intend to have a family til I have everything set-up. and I'm gonna save the fuckin planet with the money I make with weed. did you think I was going to research weed and nothing else.

and I'm already a pretty closed-off person, I like a small circle of friends, 4 or 5 people

and the degree in botany or horticulture or whatever, is so that he knows it for when I need to hire people.

lol. MaryJane get at least a degree to fall back on. Education is the only thing they can't take away from you and you may not get rich but for just 6 years of school you can be confident you'll make six figures and that is enough to take care of a wife and kid if you empire falls.

I'm with spittin4cash .... you wont have a steady income growing marijuana .. world doesnt work like that .. people slip up and get busted , people tell the wrong person get and get busted .. world wont hand you your shit you want in life .. if you want it that way play the lottery .. thats about it or kill a rich relative and hope u get some money .. but other than that you gotta be a smart hard working person to get anywhere in your life time so just make growing pot (like spittin said .. a 'hobby') .... if you do go into a botany/genetics field of work with cannabis try to make a plant with NO THC i know it may sound crazy but marijuana has endless possibilities other than smoking .. and the government could grow NO THC pot and use it for textiles, fuel, paper, etc .. cannabis is good for so much more than smoking so realize that.

Here's my 2 cents and remember, thats about all its worth.

I don't have a degree. I used to drive trucks. I'm 30. I hated my life 5 years ago, all I ever really did was sell drugs. I figured why not make a living at it and here I am. Like the other guy said, you gotta get that perpetual thing going on. I once had 4 grow warehouses with 32-1000 watt lights in each just for flowering. I harvested 16 lights a week for like a 1 1/2 years and I'm still getting rid of the stuff. I took my clothes to the laundry and here I am. I was 25 though. You're still a baby. I ain't gonna mention how much trouble, bail money, lawyer money, jail time, etc. That some people went through to get here but me and my buddies didn't have nothing to loose. You got your whole life ahead of you. Live man! You can always grow some pot. If your gonna do it, make sure you're in a state where the laws are friendly to pot growers. Good Luck!

wow- I am generally with spittin 4 cash after having read the last 4 pages... I believe their to be a certain reality of things, and i do believe the market is passed its peak. This is definitley something you could accomplish if you set your mind to it- how rewarded by it- is a rarely raised issue up to this point.

I really dont think you would find your self satisfied after a lifes working researching, basically just growing weed and penciling the facts you see.... I mean its research- but not cancer research... lets again keep reality in focus... So with that said, how rewarding will growing weed be, even if its making lots of money, at the end of the day your a legalized drug deal or an illegal drug dealer- or a pharmacy at best... The first implications- drug dealer- legal or illegal- very view pharmacists proclaim to be self actualized because of their careers, i am sure some do as in every profession- but its not like the nasa scientist whos dreamed of being one his whole life... and the second implication, a a pharmacy- the pharmacutical state in america is fucked- you'd be better off politically rallying for the millions of unisnuserd americans, or many other causes.

Your not in anyway going to save the world with weed. Or become self actualized trying. If anything your just going to contribute to idiots buying medicinal weed and giving to people with out cards- re-selling your product for more overhead than you make...

Ultimatley the pharmacutical system is crap, the idea of entering it for a dream of fulfillment is a facade, and the reality stands true... that you can very much loving growing- millions due, it is certainly an art- and it is one best practiced- like sex, alone or with a partner for yourselves, and not for profit.

Professional hustlers in any market are just hustlers- The goal of growing should be self-sufficiency... Unless its legal- then you support your local pharmacy...

I think if you have a dream, then go for it and don't let anyone get you down.

When you ask for opinions unfortunately you end up taking on other peoples limitations as well ;)

hey, with money you can do anything, you just have to know how to do it. I just need money, and I love weed, so why not make money with weed. and you all can say what you want, I will make myself happy(this includes growing weed, doing my best to fix today's world, and spoiling the fuck out of my kids) I said before, I'm a smart guy, I'll figure out how to make this shit work

Thats a pretty good attitude. I think if anything weed money should just be a secondary income as well. I mean if you have a job, contribute to society in a positive way, then growing a little weed on the side so you don't have to pay as much as you normally would have to is just fine. Even if you do sell some of it, good homegrown is always snatched up by adults, especially if you have adult friends eager to get thier hands on your shit. If you sell to people you know who just smoke weed, and not to stereotypical 'drug dealers' then you're not doing any damage to society and If anything you are a positive influence, so long as you have a good attitude and positive outlook on life in general you will be ok. If you don't have a good attitude or a positive outlook on life... well, fuck you too! lol

The American Dream:

Step 1. Find dank seeds.
Step 2. Grow said dank seeds.
Step 3. Harvest dank buds from dank plants.
Step 4. ???
Step 5. Profit.


Serioulsy it isn't that easy but in a completely different way it is. Think that if everyone that wanted to do what you want to do did it...where would we be? In a world completely over saturated with Purple lol! Jk. But seriously there would be so much weed that it would get out of control. You all remember that time when you first lit up and how cool you felt and how tabboo it was...well lets keep it that way. Let's keep it between us smokers..

Ever notice how you could know nothing about a person but once you tap that bowl...it doesnt matter. The weed brings you together.


Honestly there is such a negative stereotype for us pot smokers in america. Especially the growers. We are looked at like suppliers and degenerates when all we want to do is improve OUR OWN quality of life and weed. Ya dig?

I hate seeing something like cannabis that is so amazing and so perfect get a bad rap because kids walk around and speak like 3rd grade drop outs.

Then they come here to RIU and make threads like "Grroein PURPS any1 wanna by?" or "How much $$$ culd I make off of 10 plants?"

We grow to smoke with our friends and loved ones so we don't have to deal with those assholes. By all means though please grow your heart out and sell to your local store...but don't turn into a douche bag that abuses something for pure profit motive.


Your young. Smoke your weed and grow it but make sure you invest a lot of your life into some kind of future....you don't wanna be the 40 year old pot dealer up the road with 18 cats and 100 plants. That is just weird. Ever notice how all the older hippies decided a little later on that maybe drugs weren't the end all be all cure they thought it was in the 60's? My grandma became a teacher and still grows and enjoys her herb. So don't worry. Smoking will always be there...the profit won't be.


I am not going to lie...I would love to grow...and sell to my local place just like you...but cooking is my passion. So I hope to open an edibles only shop one day...but that is after I attend Culinary school.

Anyway what I am trying to say is that if you do accomplish your dream, and I hope that you do, please remember that there are people like us that take all the heat for douche bags that take your dream and abuse the hell out of it. Use it, don't abuse it.

One love,
Kodank

P.S. I am only 19...still young like you.
