Never Politically Correct. Never Correct. Just Reasonable

fastcompany: It’s teeny here but clicking through takes you to our Infographic of the Day: The business of getting high. Some pro-tips: Not all Markets are Created Equal. Alaska’s weed has been legal for 10 years, but before you open a dispensary in downtown Anchorage, consider this: There’s no state law governing retail marijuana businesses. Compare that to Colorado where you can plunk down $7,500 at the Department of Revenue and apply for a Type 1 MMC license, permitting you to operate a medical marijuana center serving up to 300 patients. Prison or paperwork? You make the call. Don’t Hold Out for Free Checking. That first buyer may come easily, but don’t assume the same goes for processing his credit card. National banks like Wells Fargo have turned away marijuana businesses, which are still considered illegal under federal law. That makes simple business processes like a checking account, corporate credit cards or a merchant services account costly, time-consuming challenges. Lucky for you, there are smaller, local banks eager to win business in a growing industry. Tax Laws. When tax time comes around, you’ll have to skip all of those normal business expenses. The bean-counters at the Internal Revenue Service will be following guidance under Section 280E of the tax code: No business deductions for trafficking in controlled substances. That means medical marijuana operations can expect to pay 50% to 200% more in taxes than other businesses (but don’t worry too much: the fat margins the report uncovered, especially on the grow side, should help ease the blow.) 100%: of marijuana users who get high. Let’s legalize cocaine too. It’s worth billions of dollars. Ridiculous.

jillybeanz08: strawberrytelle: “Would you just stay with me?” “Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we’re already fighting.” “Well that’s what we do. We fight. You tell me when I’m being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you’re being a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a two-second rebound rate then you’re back doing the next pain in the ass thing.” “So what?” “So it’s not gonna be easy, it’s gonna be really hard, and we’re gonna have to work at this everyday but I wanna do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday.” Always my favorite scene of all time x3  This movie sucked. Nuff said.

People Make Mistakes; That’s How Nature Works

We all have to understand that, as human beings, we all make mistakes. It doesn’t matter if they vary from big to small ones. Mistakes are mistakes. The only remedy to mistakes is forgiveness.

In order to live a happy life, we must learn how to forgive. We must learn to understand that, sometimes, people make the wrong decisions. This does not mean that they intended to hurt you. They simply were not thinking properly.

If your love ones hurt you, learn how to forgive them. Trust me, there is a gratifying feeling that comes after you do so. God bless you all.


Best Wishes,

Domingo
