Forgive me...I have failed.

Didn't mean to steer this off topic at all I just call em like I see them. Whining about people flooding your market is what got this off topic. The same thing happened where I am at and making less is a bummer but suck it up man other people have it much worse.

Frank I have no clue of your situation but personally I have gone through some really shitty down and out times and it will only get better, making mistakes is part of being human. This business is sometimes a bit like gambling but with better odds.

To Everything, Turn! Turn! Turn!

There is a plan, much bigger than any of us can see. Everything that life delivers to us fits that plan, and is part and parcel of the overall big picture that will forever remain outside our grasp.

Nothing happens accidentally and everything that happens is, somehow, intricately connected to a much larger picture.

Knowing this, seeing this, makes all of life’s experiences—tragic
or ecstatic—take on an entirely new meaning. It also changes your
approach when faced with life’s challenges.

Knowing the true meaning of those lyrics, understanding the
underlying message, you can head into each and every day charged up and fully ready for any challenge, big or small, because I know in my heart even the most monumental of setbacks are part of a script, a story line, that inevitably leads to learning, wisdom, and advancement in life.

You might have failed "this time", but never feel completely defeated.

Whining fuckin' idiots. I don't mean you here frank. I'm sorry dude.

What bullshit. I just can't believe that Tickle Your Own Balls shithead. It's obvious your love of money is your main concern here. The PATIENTS are what's supposed to be the concern. The feds see this shit and it just slows down MMJ progress because they just see illegal growers whining about not getting THEIR money, without the feds getting theirs, and the feds WILL get theirs by hook or crook. WHATEVER.

This is just disgusting. You fuckin' IDIOTS. Just shooting yourselves in the foot. I'm just shaking my head too. Fuck off, the lot of you fuckin' low class criminals.

I was having a really bad day today.
When I read your post, I realized that things could always be worse.
"When the going get's tough, the tough get going", right?
It can be tough when you begin doubting yourself.
I think we all have times like that, but we get over them, as you will.
Your friends here are all pulling for you, so you have that, if nothing else.
Good luck, and thanks for the post.

 

[In~Plain~Site]

Damn.
Strange vibes in this thread...all around, top to bottom.

I personally would never judge myself less than under any circumstances or by any measure.

 

[TickleMyBalls]

Yeah. My love of money. Keep talking like you know me all of you random fucking trolls. The important people here know me and know what I'm about. Like water you roll off of my back. Fucking jobbers.

Countdown to this thread being binned... No one can ever agree to let things lie...

Someone else won't say it so I will....PITY PARTY

This is a business and decisons lead to out comes, not karma or bad luck. I don't feel sorry for you one bit, if only IC could hear the whole story of who really lost out. Dank Frank, give him an inch he takes a mile kind of guy. Nothing to do with me personally but you know what you did. Trying to justify it through a bunch of lame story excuses is BS, man up.

As for local prices, I am still getting 4800 a bo in MI at the club, and still pulling on the rope for more. Started at 350-375 an ounce and am down to the 275-325 range. They are selling plenty enough here in MI. The clubs are always trying to make more money off my smoke then I do.... Networking with the RIGHT people, negotiating, a professional product, and the right business managemnet skills can take you a long way. Little 2K crops are getting ate up every day by the big boys that is why it is necessary to continually upgrade. To many short sighted people and not enough aiming high for yearly production. Highly competitive environment, and my years here on IC have me far ahead of the competition and that is exactly where I intend to stay.

If you can't take the heat get your ass out the kitchen

 

[In~Plain~Site]

Yeah...not erbody is a hustla from the word git :bigpimpin:

Darwin knew his shit

 

[Wiggs Dannyboy]

Well...HELLO!...I was going to post some words of encouragement, but now....I think I'll just mind my own business...

 

[supersmallgiant]

Get a real job and a cheap place to stay out of the snow this winter then blow it up out in woods next summer. Keep your mouth shut this time and dump it to a club in the fall. A little over a year from now your back on your feet and have learned from your mistakes. Good luck.

"here in Cali, growers are quitting in droves and im more then happy to buy all there used equipment....."

Did that a little, after the dispensaries closed out here, (just locally.)

"sounds like Dank Frank may have gotten over his head to fast. it happens, borrow some cash for initial investment, isn't producing what it should, trying to pull moves and its not working, get more behind and behind as time goes on...."

Yeah, it is certainly easy to imagine how that could happen.
Best to avoid "owing" anyone anything: no credit cards, no "loans"...kinda tough to get through life that way now-a-days though; particularly when trying to start a new business endeavor...

Glad to see words of encouragement and compassion for our brother in arms: Dank Frank!
Sounds like he really needs it...

 

[RetroGrow]

Probably most of us don't know the details.
I know I don't.
But, if someone is down, it's only human to try and give them a boost.
It doesn't hurt to say, "sorry to hear that. Good luck".

 

[Dankgravy]

I'm sorry to hear about what happened, and I hate to bring the thread off topic, but I can't hold my tongue. I am not a large grower nor do I "donate" or sell any of my meds. Only personal use. But to hate on someone for making money doing something they love? Come on..

Not to mention (in CA) at least, "medical" is a term that I wouldn't take too seriously. Would you expect to be given a 12 pack for free?

I don't think Tickle is saying anything wrong, maybe just saying what needs to be said in the wrong thread.. Like me, probably couldn't hold his tongue

 

[In~Plain~Site]

Anytime I've had shit go sidewayz, I can trace it directly back to something I either overlooked,took for granted, or deserved.

Book it

 

[supermanlives]

shit happens

 

[zeppelindood]

Frank, you always seem to be the one with the wise words so I really don't quite know what to convey other than as much positive energy for you as I can muster. You better stay strong and preserver, which is key to being a survivor... no? Love you brother. Agape'

 

[Lifebreather]

Hang in there Frank.

Don't know you, but I'm sure you'll pull through. It's human nature to perservere.

Maybe you ought to move to one of those med states were shite weed still gets a pretty penny. So even if you blow it, you're in the $$$.

MONEY!! best thing i've read on icmag in awhile. i posted something similar to this yesterday.

Don't be so hard on yourself frank...

We cannot choose a perfect life. We play the hand we're dealt, for better or worse. You can dwell on the past or you can pick up the pieces and move on.

And don't forget...

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Sending good karma your way bro.
