Best thing I ever did was quit the job I went to school for to sell drugs. I would say my only regret is not starting a business and going to collage 15 years ago.

The amount of sacrifice we make for the places we work for is not fully appreciated.

I mean... ever consider opening a dispensary?

I can't stand sales, but it sounds like it would be a solid move for you.

Ha, I have two stores right now that sell recreational cannabis. We don't get to call them dispensaries. I am a legal drug dealer thank you very much.

I would read your yet to be published book on the experience of getting those stores started. I have often wondered about the process.

Honestly, just a lot of paperwork and time. I am now a big proponent of starting your own business, risks be damned. Most people do better work then what they are paid for, may as well have something to show for it.

100% agree. I have two of my own.

That's cool though, I was assuming the recreational licenses took a fair amount of ~~bribes~~ lobbying to get a hold of.
