If one approaches this industry with the idea of "not IF...but WHEN", then constant awareness will go far. Be aware of who you do biz with....be aware of the "exits"...be aware that not everyone is "honest" or "will do the right thing"...beware of the fool that asks too many questions...beware of the person that "all of a sudden becomes your best friend"...just beware.

In my prior life...let's just say carrying iron was part of the game; everyone carried--and were not afraid to use em. But we are not in the 70s now...this is a completely different era--but the same fools play the game (nothing but the date has changed--imho).

Don't brag like the dumbass did from Norcal, in Oaktown, outside the dispo, about the 30 p's in the car. Then be sure not to look as you are followed 4 hours back home. To be tortured in awful ways I will not detail - in front of your family, ultimately giving up that huge pile of hundys in the backyard. As well as some body parts. Just one of many Rural legends / facts / rumours that occur in kookoolandia norCal.

really depends on how big of an operation you run.. how much your dealing with.. and who u deal with..

my circles small . and i keep it that way.. i have like 10 medical patients that are regulars.. and 5 non medicals that are close friends from the past 10-15 years. so its like no1 wants to fuck up a good thing.. if i was charging them crazy prices.. i could see them getting pissed.. but iuno about getting robbed or killed lol...

maybe if your a craigslist dealer.. or just saying yes to every single person who calls or something.

said perfectly lol. it will happen if you let it.. prettty much.. if you keep your shit underwraps.. and your always having to go (REUP) LOL.. and all that. no1 wants to rob someone who they dont know if he has or not. but if your like yo i got 10 pounds to get rid of any takers? lol ull get a gun stuffed in ur face.. and maybe killed for sure lol..

gotta be able to read people.. and shit. i dont bring anything with me to a new person meeting. lol never. and usually i dont even meet people unless a customer i trust.. has been grabbin for a friend.. and that friend wants to not deal with a middleman anymore.. then maybe.. lol

Gotta use your common sense. Prob will never happen the first time you deliver to a customer. Think like the mugger. They will scope you. They will question you. They will act like your best friend.. ^^.... u gotta feel the guy out. Scope his place. Hows he livin? Is it krft dinner and baloney? Or steak and caviar? Is he hard up for 50 bucks? Slit his mommas throat for a dollar type guy...

Alway be wary of a big increase in volume. From an oz a week and now he wants a pound. What gives? Your about to get jacked....

I've always been a personal grower. I've been robbed at gunpoint by close friends and robbed on the street by strangers, both in connection with this industry.

Getting robbed is going to happen. Getting arrested is going to happen. Getting beaten, shot, or stabbed along with it is also most likely to happen. There are no good ways around it besides staying out of the industry. Like momma always said, if you play in the dirt you get dirty.

If you're paranoid as FUCK then you can usually do what you do for a lot longer than the people who are careless. With a few exceptions, of course. One of my friends from a past life had sold everything since he moved out at 13 and was touched by Lady Luck, I swear. He'd stand out front of the local gas station hollering "GETCHER SCHOOMS HERE!" And didn't get caught. Least, not till he shot up a bunch of H and attacked a random stranger with a shovel... Like I said, past life...

Ah, the Cannabis industry. Just a bunch of Well-Meaning happy Hippies, with long-haired girls singing and trimming solid buds topless, dancing in the sun at break time, and servicing the Grower at His discretion. Money falling from the trees, just plant it and come back 3 months later.

Then We All Woke Up.
