If you can’t beat them, join them. You see, when you are young and have a lot of pride, you can get too focused on winning. You feel the need to “win” which means someone else has to lose. When you get older, you find that life can be a lot more complicated, and there are many different kinds of winning. I was very upset about potentially losing my home business, and for a long time I fought it. Then I realized my adversary could not lose, so instead of fighting against the cannabis dispensary I joined it. Instead of trying to compete with cannabis sales, I started selling my product to the dispensary itself and making my money that way. The younger version of me never would have let this happen, because I was the top cannabis grower in this town, but times have changed. The money was good, but I had nothing else to take pride in so my position as top dog in cannabis meant a lot to me. Now I have a little girl to take care of, and marijuana is just a means to an end. By selling directly to the cannabis dispensary I don’t ever have to worry about selling to people, or people coming by my house looking to score. I get more time at home with the family, and quite frankly they give me more of a sense of pride then selling cannabis ever did. If you live locally, look for my stuff at the cannabis dispensary, I guarantee it’s the best on the market.
