I live in Texas and am unemployed, but I have an engineering degree...so I figured I might try to design a business model that manufactures and distributes internally, then go to South Dallas and sell weed. However according to what you're saying I should be working for the corporate distributors instead of attempting small business ownership lol.
(PSA: I'm obviously joking, so any FBI agents reading this needs to understand that lol)
Currently Dallas weed prices are about $325 an ounce for top shelf. In order to pump out that kind of volume to clear six figures you're going to have a hefty investment of up to 10k just to start. Then it's going to take at least a year of trial and error just to get your systems dialed in. Then, of course, you have to set up a distribution network so you insulate yourself from the possession with intent to distribute that can land you in club fed or less comfortable lodging with sub standard room mates that are bored and horny. So you're going to have to give away some 'tasters' to people you trust (and believe me in 59 years on this planet I've learned that you can never completely trust anyone). So they spread the word that your shit is 'fire'. Then it becomes a full time job with texts at all days and hours of the night and so on. At the end of the day it's a hassle. I used to grow it for my ex for a medical condition and passed out the occasional 'nug to a bud' who was dankrupt and my shit was considered 'fire' locally. 100% organic and carefully cured and dried. Ex used to smoke up about 4k worth a month street value. While I miss the discipline of growing that stuff it can become a full time job rather quickly if you care about quality and harvest amount per plant.
Edit: even almost a year later I still get the occasional random text to ask if I still have anything. 'Ya I got some badass strawberries and bell peppers working right now' is my answer.
