yep, cut out the middle man and it only took a $5,000 loss to learn it.
headiez and wierd ...........solid advice.
if its not your nature to be aggressive and violent then you will more than likely end up on the loosing end of that type of confrontation.

Hi WhateverMan it's in all honesty under 1000 so when you put it that way it seems miniscule but the friendship is what means most to me. Truth is I'm working out a sale for something I own as we speak so I will be sending a small portion tomorrow. At the very least that is. I see where you are coming from though and you are absolutely right.
Hello HighDesertJoeWe'll get you though this BUDdy
Thank you brother . You guys are the best..Thank you Mule420 I can't believe I was dumb enough to do that with my own stuff but looking at it now that was really really stupid on my part..Hate to hand you your ass, however never front on a front first rule of this bizness... and the second rule fuck me? NO fuck U! Takes years to lay it out sometimes... My longest fuck u took ten years... Time never forgets, And nether do I... Hope you find peace over the deal!
Thank you HammerHead and yeah man you are right.. I do get it and I'm hating myself more for it. Thank you brother.
Thank you Headiez247 I'm definitely laidback bro. Seriously don't even argue nearly ever. No one knows where I grow but I'm thinking I'm better off just growing for myself and getting full time job.
Damn. That hurts but you're right. You're so fucking right. Thank you brother SupermanLives.
Thank you SuperSilverHaze.. I appreciate everything everyone said and this quite truthfully solidifies my next decision. Seriously, thank you all!

I'm a lawyer, and although what I'm about to say is the gospel fucking truth, there is no attorney-client relationship established by this post and it would be unreasonable for you to rely on any advice that follows, as a result. . . .
Cool, the disclaimer is out of the way. Your location is set as Nepal, man, but I'm assuming you could possibly be in California? I'm a California lawyer, if you are.
This is what is interesting to me as a lawyer: you could conceivably have a lawsuit against both couriers in California for breach of contract, maybe, or negligence, more facts are needed.
If you live in a jurisdiction where selling marijuana is illegal, then you could not file a lawsuit because that would be "against public policy."
Imagine a hooker walking into court because she is suing the dude who stiffed her, or her pimp for taking too big a cut. The lawsuit would be thrown out for being against public policy. You can't sue over things that are illegal, basically.
But in California, with medical marijuana laws, sales and transportation is a gray area. I'm not an expert in the area of law by any means. But it may not be against public policy to sue them.
I know being litigious isn't cool, but its better than ruining your life by playing gangsta. Anyway, if you are going to resort to gangster, then I recommend all five seasons of The Wire. If you are from the east cost, that'll show you how they handle that shit there.
What I would do is I would walk up to each dude and say, hey man, I'm going to sue you if you don't cover this. Then when he is about to respond, punch him in the fucking throat.

DiscoBiscuit you made me laugh when you said that bro..I heard this dood that most peeps don't ferk with say, "Sounds like a finger." Next thing I know, here's a somewhat regular with a splint.
Hi Sandawg thank you for the advice brother. I'm not gangsta at all. With all respect to gangsta. Gangsta is in a breed of it's own. I couldn't be it if I wanted to because you're either born into it or you're not. I was born into it but I was always to chicken shit to partake. Now that I'm older I realize I've never paid dues so I won't be accepted.
What I meant by decision was to either quit growing in the sense to only grow for myself and get a job. I'm the stalker type and if I get into something I tend to enact shit in my head. You guys probably see it in my typing but I'm a bit special if you know what I mean. Long story short I'll never ask for fronted work again and I'll never do fronts. Thank you brother Sandawg.
No more couriers for me bro
.
Well fuck me a runnin!
I'd damn sure be passing their names and photos/ID's to all dispensaries in the area and make sure they didn't courier anymore. I hope you aren't in my area bro cause I'd be knocking heads if it happened to me.
I always do my own shit. The fewer people involved, the less risk, even being legal. But I would make sure those guys aren't ripping anybody else off.

ive had to let dudes hold onto my pink slip when i didnt have the full ticket amount...
and ive never been shy about asking the same of others...
and ive known guys whove had to sign their cars over because they got robbed or busted or whatever and couldnt wheel and deal their way out of the hole fast enough. one guy had his slip yanked twice! but he was able to work it off and get his ride back both times.

ok there was the lesson and the scolding but now time to build you back up
First, both in all facets of the business world, markets and all economies this is the common denominator to failure, this type of mistake
if you look at business statistics, the amount of businesses that fail is mind boggling, so while it was important to leave an impression so you get maximum value from this experience, don't let it weight too heavily on you, its very common
If you are going to follow your dream and passion, and become successful at it, you need to be more dynamic, dont be fooled by the notion that you can just drop off, grow pot and live nirvana
just because you have found peace and passion in weed doesn't mean the rest of the world has changed, so you cant lull yourself into a false sense of security. This is one of the traps many growers fall into when they dip out of the mainstream
While I am being purposely abstract I can offer some advice in your particular situation but all of your actions were predicated from your "im just a farmer" mindset and you will have to take more responsibility for the business end before you more forward
I will say that your demeanor and the size of your grow would probably make you a far better match for a provider patient relationship
if you gave your work to patients at a lil more than you sell to the collectives, you may find people who are far more motivated to keep you on good terms, because of the value you represent
if you are selling to more customers in smaller increments you are limiting liability in any given transaction to a small percentage of your harvest
the relative price structure should be a fair motivator for people to pay up front
its better a better price structure than one would get at the dispensaries and dispensaries dont front either plus you have the added benefit of serving people who may posses the same type of appreciation for the weed as you obviously do
above and beyond that, you can see the benefit of your work in the people you grow for
good luck

I am really bothered by your story, and very sorry you have been taken advantage of. I used to really believe that people were inherently good, but that view has changed. It is not just with marijuana, it is everything. Not all people are bad, but they are harder to find, because the good people have all been screwed over by assholes, like your couriers. Instead of looking at the risk you take(even if you are in a med state, you are breaking federal law) to just get your product to market, they see an easy mark, not the kind person that you are, risking your freedom to provide meds to patients. I applaud your efforts and determination, and your ethics. Don't lose faith in people, there are still alot of us good people, we just keep to ourselves, and hope we come across others, like us. I wish I could agree that karma would get the assholes, but unfortunately, in the world we live, they end up for the most part, just fine. Beating ass is not the option to choose, you are a good person, and would be riddled with guilt. What you need to do is keep looking and working for the future. Survive, savor life, and keep your head high. You are a moral and ethical person, and those traits will be your weapons. You will triumph in life but you are being tested.....never give in to bitterness or hatred. Those things will fester in you, and steer you off course. Best of luck.
