All of us here are passionate about marijuana and we don't care to see outsiders exploiting the industry to get rich...but as long as people pick professions that will help them to achieve the American dream, you'll see more of this.

Those opening dispensaries might not yet understand that if they don't grow their own (which allows them to keep prices lower) they're not going to be as profitable.

Hell, I should go back to school for botany. I'm tired of working jobs I hate that make no difference in the world and help no one. Tired of being broke! Who's with me?
Your telling me. Im sitting here unemployed making no money, and my unemployment ran out 3-4 months ago. Im not asking for no sorrow here im stating that im a go getter and ive been out looking agressively for jobs.(no record, graduated) Then when you find one they want to pay me $8-10 an hour. LOL You can't live on your own and make this kind of money, you can but it very hard. I was working at a harbor freight making $8.hr moving heavy ass boxes, and my knee seriously could'nt handle it so i quit like a idiot. My point it i made 1200.00 a month working 40hr's a week. Im sorry but growing medical marijuana is my calling. When i get to colorado im going to be a caregiver/disp. who has free clones of 15-20 strains and from seed mothers. and all bud $10 a gram or 2 for $15. Grown in Roots organic 707 mix with organic nutes. And im going to pay my employee $15-20/hr. 40 hr weeks with Health ins, including dental vision. I am not trying to get rich here, just enjoy what i do everyday and not be broke. Average house, average car and a disp. That's all i want and i would be living my dream.
