No one would imagine that a day would come for me to join others in the weed business.
When we were younger, I’d miss school because I was too high to function.
My university days were certainly fun and risky as I experimented with almost everything I could find regardless of whether it was legal or illegal. However, once I graduated something had to stop and that is when I gave up on doing drugs, and cut down on drinking liquor. However, my love for cannabis continues as it makes me feel rejuvenated every time. I have come to discover that marijuana has a unique calming effect and it certainly helps with managing my stress. Considering the fact that I enjoy weed, it was a no brainer when I was offered an investment opportunity in a local cannabis dispensary. It was certainly a major risk, since it involved “buying in” to the cannabis shop. In essence, I had to chip in heavily and was not guaranteed returns for all my investments. Basically I had to give up a big chunk of my 401k, and private retirement fund. I would also need to accept the fact I wouldn’t draw a salary for numerous months. Even though it was going to be a huge risk, I decided to become a part of the modern cannabis dispensary. Anyone that gets into this kind of business has to endure months of zero gains to start turning a profit, not to mention that a cannabis shop may be harder. My partners and I worked long hours for no pay, trying to deliver the best customer service while developing a loyal customer base of regular customers visiting the cannabis shop. Although it was gradual, we eventually managed to make progress and our cannabis sales started increasing a little bit every month. We anticipate that very soon the cannabis shop should be profitable enough that we can start getting paid! When this finally happens, we will also get some budtenders to work for us.
