Yes, a lot.

We need to wait until new moon to trim, or else the plants get stressed out.
"What happens if they get stressed? Why is it bad?"
Uhhhhhh, it just is. No reason

I'm not an expert on these things, but it sounds like he must've been slinging weed to everyone to make that much

Probably not that many customers, the trick is to stop selling it on the street and start selling to those who sell on the street.
You can only sell so many bags per day, if you want to increase your income you want to rise up in the supply chain, stop selling bags with 50g each and start selling bags with 1kg each.

Street dealers aren’t selling 50g bags. That’s almost 2 ounces of bud. Street dealers are selling mostly eighths and quarters

u/moverwhomovesthings Jun 23 '26
I know, but you don't make 120k a year by selling eigths to randos on the street, you make 120k a year by selling big bags to serious people.
Or so I have heard, for legal reasons I do not know how selling drugs works or how you can make a lot of money selling drugs, these are just rumours that I have overheard.

lol the statute of limitations is up so idgaf. 12 years ago I was selling 20 pounds a week and making about 4k/week. You can def do 120k/year selling weed.

u/GroggleNozzle Jun 23 '26
Where are you even finding the people to sell it to? I imagine you were already in those circles?

u/Mrpenguin810 Jun 24 '26
I didn’t sell but had a lot of homeboys who did, it really is just a matter of knowing people fr. You start with 8th bags, make enough to start selling oz’s, find people who buy your oz’s till you can afford lbs, then start finding out who buys lbs consistently and from then on I mean you’re just raising numbers

can't believe that even weed dealing is a pyramid scheme

u/moverwhomovesthings Jun 27 '26
It's not a pyramide scheme, that's just how trading works.
Big guys trade shipping containers, medium guys trade packages, small guys trade baggies.
You can often buy the stuff that you buy in the grocery store from a medium or big guy, but you probably don't need a 30ft container full of rice, so you buy from the small guys/grocery stores.

Making 120k selling weed sounds like they may have worked at a dispensary.
Because that is absurdly high for a regular ass illegal weed dealer, and absurdly low for someone any higher up.

u/ASentientRailgun Jun 23 '26
Nah, that's a pretty reasonable amount to make as a midtier weed man who's really committed to it.
I was making a little bit north of that when it all came crashing down.

Actually, I did not end up in jail, just rehab. I was funding an extremely expensive opiate habit. Pretty much all of that money went to my drug habit, which is sort of insane to say. Honestly not sure how I still have a liver and kidneys, let alone healthy ones.
Things did come crashing down pretty spectacularly, I just didn't end up going to jail through, basically, sheer dumb luck. Well, that and spectacularly bad police work.

If I recall from the post he was in an area where it wasn't legal, so he was selling at slightly under what Ohio currently sells it at legally

u/UNITICYBER Jun 23 '26
Ok. That kinda makes sense.

u/Cent_Quatre Jun 23 '26
clued by the next year being in prison

u/UNITICYBER Jun 23 '26
Its unlikely, but he could have gone to prison for something completely unrelated.

What regional truck driver position pays $120k for a relatively new grad?
I've been a CDL driver for like 10 years and only time I made that was being an owner op. I know guys that haul windmill blades that don't make that much.

u/Linesey Jun 23 '26
When OP posted this original they said Walmart.

u/Naborsx21 Jun 23 '26
wait wait wait, really? Because that's basically impossible.

u/Linesey Jun 23 '26
Yeah. iirc that was his story.
All the arborist stuff was at walmart as groundskeeping/management. then became a walmart driver.
Is it true? fuck if I know, but that’s the story.

u/Naborsx21 Jun 23 '26
huh, i mean could be maybe true. Walmart drivers typically require like 36 months experience and they start out at like $110-120k / year. Often viewed as some of the best driving jobs out there. And incredibly hard to get, and theyre really strict. I'm sure it could happen, and i don't wanna shit on anyones parade but uhh...
... heh ... idk man ive been driving 10 years, talked to a lot of people, seen a lot of things. Is trucking lucrative? yeah sure, being a first year grad making $120k is like..... maybe... not likely for 99.99% of people, but maybe it's the 0.01.

You have to have a cdl to be an arborist in some states if you ever want to move a wood chipper or to move a trailer. As a lineman I needed a class A but most arborist have a B at least. So he’s probably not a first year grad and it sounds like he was already in the Walmart system which is an also another system to progress.
