how in the hell do these questions make you think i dont smoke? i religiously smoke, although i never sell. I am curious what people are going to do, i personally hate to work, and i know there is nothing better to a dealer than selling his product, so what type of job will still satisify him?? thats what i am asking.Quote:

altho id like to hear thoes questions answerd cuase they are rlly good ones imo
rather have it legalized
most people i have ever bought pot from had legitimate jobs. they do it on the side. pretty much as a way to get high for free.
I think you have to realise that not everyone just deals pot and makes a living income off that to support them all year round. Most guys you grab off of most likely have 9-5 jobs like you and I
I do have one friend who does nothing but sell pot for a living, and he's been doing that for around 20 years. No idea what he'd do, but even if it were legal, I don't think the market for high-quality organically grown pot would disappear. It still takes nutrients, soil, bulbs, electricity, experience and time to make it appear. Not everyone would want to go through all that.
Like, we shop sometimes at this 'healthy living' type grocery store, and they have no probs selling tons of organically grown stuff that is perfectly legal to grow. So, I don't think dealers would be automatically out of business; they'd just have to adapt and provide a competitive product at a competitive price. I guess they already have to do that, although once you find a dealer you know you can trust, then loyalty backed by paranoia can override quality/price considerations, to some degree anyway.
When Herb is legalised, what will I do for money? Open up a frackin coffeeshop!
You have to deal a lot of pot to make a living from just selling. From my experience most people do it to make a little dough on the side and to smoke free.

Marijuana isnt the only drug being sold. Of course they'll just switch to something else. And when I'm older rather marijuana is legalized or not I wont have to worry about buying from stores or dealers anyways because um..wel cultivation :rolleyes:.

So, theres always ways to make money off weed i guess, even if it is illegal or legal
exactly what i was thinkin, all they have to do is start selling crack or somethingQuote:

thanks all, these are all great opinions, i like seeing that. Good points like them still selling to coffieshops, but i was more considering the people who do nothing but constitute the middleman, you know the ones who just move the product. For example my dealer, he sells only pot, that is his only job... and he doesn't grow. "100,000 stoners to hotbox the milenium dome", great idea, but dont you think we might need to do it inside a oreo factory instead??
That's exactly what I did. Bought an O at a time and broke even by selling it to friend for cheap, and I also got to smoke for free for a week at a time...Quote:

oh yes it would, at least prices would drop so dramatically that it wouldn't be worth the money; ps: if it were legal you wouldn't be needing "bulbs".Quote:

Dealers will always have a place in society because when it is legal, dealers will still be sellin tax-free.
I've been selling for almost two years now, and I haven't had a 9-5 kinda job in a while now, so my income is basically everything I make off selling bud. It fills my gas tank, pays for my food to live, and pays for my bills. Does it let me buy extra shit? No, but oh well, can't do much w/o a real job.
What would I do if it got legalized? Well, if the gov't charges too much for it, I'm sure there will still be those dealers trying to get their money and charging less for it.. so I might try that way out.
As far as what's more important.. I only started selling to make money.. so the obvious answer is makin' that scrilla.
Their still will be dealers, think about all the name brand, store hours, taxes,
shitty phillip morris produced weed, there will still be conossiurs of pot when its
legal, like alcy and tabacco.
;)
i just buy in half oz ($130-140) and i sell three cuts (50$ each) and then smoke the last cut for free. then i just rinse and repeat:D
the money.
Speaking as a former seller....
1. When pot is legalized, I plan to take advantage of the situation and open coffee shops. I have a 'grand plan' for a line of coffeeshops that I would build with the hopes they would become the ultimate stoners paradise. Also, I would invest in startups that will producing products made from hemp. Once actual products start rolling off the lines, I have no doubt that companies in these industries are going to turn HUGE profits. Get in on the ground level @ 1.50 a share and cash out after two stock spilts @ 100.00 a share...purely hypothetical but you get the idea.
2. Personally, I'd rather be able to smoke legally without fears. I have many different business ideas and and most are not centered around cannabis. I have a career so it's not like I'm in a position where I must sell. Just let me smoke and go about my business.
I deal as a side job although right now I make more money selling pot then I do working construction but oh well.Quote:

I just hope if it ever does get legalized it gets grown so much that its dirt cheap. If weed were to stay 10.00 a gram after being legalized then I would be fucked and would have to think of another way to make money. I think if it got legalized it would be like ciggartes though ... just picture going to 7/11 and asking for a pack of mauwie wowie and getting 20 joints for 5.00????
