I used to really look down upon people who did shady shit to get ahead, I always prided myself on being a straight laced guy, never been in trouble for anything ever. I worked my ass off to get ahead and while there are many who have more I accomplished a lot with less and I did it the right way. I always hung my hat on that.
As ive gotten older Ive realized what utter bullshit all of that is. Since the “legal” weed trade popped up here in Michigan all these career criminals who could barely find jobs are driving eacalades and living in high rise lofts. If I were smart I would have used my resources and intelligence to make ten times more than they did, I had opportunities but I always thought of it beneath me. I work 7 days a week and three times as hard in my legit businesses just to have somewhere close to what they have from pretty much doing nothing, skirting and operating in the gray area of the law. Even if they get caught they use all the money they made to get a crazy lawyer and get a slap on the wrist. The shit they do has become accepted simply because of how much money is involved, easy money.
In regards to these guys as long as they didn’t hurt anyone or steal from anyone i hope they get off. You would have never ever caught me dead saying that just a few years ago. If someone isn’t buying it from they will just be buying it from someone else.
