What is the likelihood of being mugged in the weed business? - Cannabis Business Network - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Weed makes me a bit nervous. Still, it sounds like a simple business to be in. What is the likelihood that you could be a victim of strong arm robbery or armed robbery when delivering QPs and pounds to dispensaries/patients? It is true that you could be killed in this business, right?

Depends entirely on your business practices. How smart are you and how many precautions do you take? As the industry matures it seems less likely. It is easier for a criminal to strong arm a dispensary than a vendor or deliverer. If you like to run your mouth about what you do or do not take smell precautions you are putting yourself at higher risk.

Your first sentence says it all. Not disrespect, just being honest. And it is NOT a simple......nevermind. I can't believe I just posted a comment in this thread.

If you can be killed delivering pizza that cost $20 bucks, killed as a gas station clerk for cash, killed as a bank teller, killed as a truck driver........ YES YOU CAN BE KILLED AT THIS JOB TOO!!!!!!!

If you are in it just to make a quick buck with no love or respect for the plant and the community, then maybe you should look at a different business.....like war. Good money in that I hear. If you have the love and passion for the plant, you wont be worring about rip offs and hold ups....or money. Depends what you want outta it all.....if it's purely for the money do something else because most cash croppers or bud chancers end up with shitty crappy product because its the cash that counts, not the final product. If you got the love, go for it and fuck the rippers. Good luck.

People get mugged for a lot less then weed . Of course the risk is always going to be present but it all depends on who you do business with and how much of a risk you are willing to chance . Logic and intuition always serve me best when dealing with people , always trust that gut instinct
