I just finished reading it all. Nelson eh? Sammy?

As business boomed, the guys found a couple of steady suppliers from Nelson -- a town that Drew Edwards, in his book West Coast Smoke, calls "the marijuana-culture capital of North America." Nelson's remoteness makes it ideal terrain for pot growers -- so much so that the town of 10,000 has its own currency exchange.

That's my town alright.

Overlooking the main street is the Holy Smoke Culture Shop, a white clapboard house with a giant marijuana leaf painted on the side. Next to the pot leaf is a profile of Peter Tosh large enough to rival Soviet-era portraits of Stalin. Holy Smoke is the local head shop -- but in Nelson, it functions more like a second city hall. Hikers, snowboarders and potheads come to Nelson from all over the continent to openly smoke weed and to buy one of the various strains of B.C. Bud, christened with brand names for marketing purposes: Triple-A, Crystal Globe, SIN/D.

Im good friends with the owners of Holy, and the guy who gets paid to do nothing but sit in the back room, to sell weed and smoke weed with customers. He actually hooked us up when Caro and I wen't to Nelson 3 just last month.

Great story, i especially liked the end;

"It's funny," he continues. "Everyone asks me, 'Do you regret what you did?' And the answer is, fuck no. I mean, I think of myself as an entrepreneur, and I went about some of that the wrong way. But I've done more at twenty-two than most people do their whole lives. I partied my ass off. There were so many women. I smoked so much weed. Anyone says they regret that, they're full of shit. They're saying that to please other people. I don't care. I had a blast."

Wow, fuckin amazing story. This kid fucked himself over though, his greed and ego ended his career.

Fuckin Americans, now if this was a good ol' canadian boy who came up with this idea of selling to stupid americans, there would be no way he'd get caught hehe. Who the fuck needs an Escalade in BC? We have less black people than we do elephants. although I won't go as far to say we less "?"iggers to make up for it. *sigh* I really like that idea about snowmobiling it across the boarder or attaching it to an old folk's motorhome.

I'm glad that Gio dude didn't slice the first guys neck and fingres while his girlfriend watched. That woulda just been too tragic. That fuckin korean got what was comin to him though. Shouldn't have started shit hiring gunmen and hitmen. People these days.

Why can't we all just get a bong?

Thanks for the link Tweedle, they're right, it is like a Mini-Scarface. Good useful text for informational purposes only. Learn from others mistakes as well as your own.

Peace~

That's an insane story, almost makes me want to try it myself. I wouldn't wanna get all caught up in it like he did though, that's why I got out of dealing the first time I got caught. Making that much money and having that much power would just scare me, I wouldn't know what to do with it. It does sound like a far out experience though.

that is one hell of a story, and it just goes to show you what money does to people that are probally just not set out to have that much money laying around. shit if it was me i would have saved the money till i was ready to quit selling and then just sit back and enjoy it. great story tho most interesting thing i'v read all week.

The only problem is that if you get a steady clientele (who buy in greater quantities too) I don't think you can just one day say: "hey I'm quitting, find yourself another guy" I don't think it's be that easy...
