Gateway drug policy
Prohibition is a drugs gateway policy and puts people directly in contact with products they didnt necessarily want to buy.
Case in point:
Yesterday I went to one of my pot guys. One of the guys that I have to go to to buy cannabis, because the shopkeepers are all to scared to sell it. So I went to him, and he told me he did not have any Cannabis! He complained that his suppliers were all charging too much, upwards of $800 for a quarter pound. So he has stopped buying it for now and is going to wait to see if either the price comes down or the quality goes up. He complained that the good quality stuff is all going to the USA.
But then he went on to tell me how he now had mushrooms and lsd.
I thanked him for his time and proceeded to call one of my other guys, who had the same story about his suppliers charging him too much - fortunately he bought some anyway and was able to hook me up.
And so I slept well last night.

On chopping, weights and measures
Once you have obtained a cannabis supplier, it is time to chop. Chopping, or separating the product out into smaller portions, is how you will make your money.
This goes for whatever amount you purchased. Lets use one ounce as an example. If you are buying only one ounce, you are a front line street level dealer and you should be dividing the ounce up into gram bags, or dime bags.
There is an important distinction between a "gram" and a "dime". A gram is exactly what it claims to be, one gram by weight. However a "dime" means effectively the amount of cannabis you can get for ten dollars. Similarly, a "nickel" bag is the amount you can expect to get for five dollars.
For maximum profit you should not sell grams but sell dimes. What you choose to put in a dime bag is entirely up to you, however you will earn a good reputation and repeat business by providing what is known as a "good count", which is an amount equal to or exceeding what the buyer may have been expecting.
Lets talk about numbers. Now right off the bat I will tell you, you need a scale. You cannot do this business well without one as the various varieties of cannabis on the black market make it impossible to accurately eyeball an amount of cannabis. A scale is also very important to your being able to verify that you indeed received from your supplier the amount you believed you bought. If your supplier made a mistake and gave you a significant under-count or over-count it is your responsibility to gracefully point out the discrepency and seek remediation. You do not want to offend your supplier however, and sometimes it may simply be wise to overlook small discrepencies. This depends entirely on your relationship with your supplier.
An ounce weighs 28.4 grams. On the street you will be hard pressed to get that .4 grams over 28 so dont worry about it, 28.0 is close enough. This ounce should cost no more than about $220 canadian dollars, and at that price it should be some grade triple A or better. This 28 grams can be chopped into about 40 dime bags if you put 0.7 grams in each dime bag. That is a net of $400 sold at ten dollars each and a gross profit of $180.
Its best not to linger at low level for any significant period of time. Through this business and your suppliers you will encounter other people and the opportunity to split the cost of a larger quantity may come along. Take that opportunity so long as you can reasonably trust that you will not be ripped off as part of the transaction. Move up to buying quarter pounds and chopping down to 1/8th oz (3.5grams) as a minimum quantity, and go from there.
There is a lot of money to be made in the prohibited plants retailing business and we can only hope that our product remains in our domain indefinitely. So get out there and get chopping, and making a nice tax-free income.
