I'm a grower on the east coat and thanks to the dipshit pot laws in my state, I'm stuck selling my stuff to a small group of dealers. A couple months back one of my regulars got his dumbass busted (don't date strippers guys, seriously) which of course meant I had to shut down operations for months to make sure he didn't give me up to LE.
Here's the question...I grow good stuff and wholesale at a good prices. I'm a small operation though, so I'm stuck selling to the same cavalcade of dumbasses because the bigger buyers don't have that use for me. I have a 9-5 in IT, I'm up to speed on my opsec...I'm a noob in some ways, but not in others. Am I going to make the same money if I jump onto BB or Agora and start selling there? Do I have to hand out samples to get myself established? The way I see it is I'm taking a risk dealing with my local people,...moving to the Darknet is just transferring that risk. I need to understand though if the money is worth it.
If your vending/stealth/security is very good, i believe there is significantly less risk than dealing with people on the streets, assuming you also don't tell anyone anything about this.
There is money to be made, however there is competition in the weed market. A lot of vendors have pretty good stuff for 160-200 an o. Very good stuff from 200-250 an o.
If you can compete with those prices, in a market where they take 4% of your sales, and you're bound to face some loss somewhere, then yeah it might be a good idea.
If you think you're ready for it all, know all of your opsec shit, know all of your stealth shipping stuff, etc, then you can post here offering samples or on the DNM or something else to get attention. If you grow good stuff for a good price and have great stealth, no doubt you will get a lot of orders.
