  1. For people who are in the MMJ Business, how did you get started? What set you on your feet?
    I'm looking to begin pursuing a career in MMJ, maybe working in a dispensary, make edibles, etc. in Colorado. I'm currently in New Jersey now. Thanks!

  14. Oaksterdamn U. (And all the other THCFoundation workshops) are a joke.


    R.D.A. is right, its a lot more about who, then what u know.

    Took me a couple years to get into the I5 corridor. The local co-op is owned by the same guy who owns both hydro shop. Gotta love buying clones from them......NOT. You'll get more SM eggs then clone IME. who'd of thunk planned obsolescence would find a hold in the canna industry?
     
  15. Seems like co-ops are still sprouting up in my area every once in a while. Their sites always say they're looking for intelligent people for the industry I'm sure it can be done. I currently don't work for one I would if it was offered to me though.
     
  16. I applied to a ton. got hired. just like any other job.

  17. So here's the golden question. How much u make. And what do you do.
     
  18. I'd like to chill with subcool. He hosts a seminar type class on super soil structures.

    Education. Supplemented with some connections, seems like to best road.

    Dedication and innovation. Anything to help make the gardens more efficient. Everything has room for improvement.

    Look how simple a bubble bag design is, then look at the price tag!
     
  19. THCF is by far the best and nowhere near a joke. I'm personal friends with Paul and Theresa Stanford.

  20. Cool.  Does Paul teach you how to lose business records and not pay taxes too?  Or how to write the worst preamble to a voter initiative in history?
