AT MY FUTURE TRIALv EXCLAIMS THE DISCREET DEALER WE SHALL HENCEFORTH REFER TO BY THE MOST COMMON INOCCUOUS NICKNAME IN $UBLIN *OHNO h7HAT YOU CAN PUT IN IS THAT THERE S A STRONG SATIVA A STRONG INDICA AND AN IN BETWEENER BUT THE NAMES MIGHT HAVE CHANGED ANYWAY BY THE TIME THIS GOES TO PRINT 4HE MENU IS A LIVING BREATHING ARTIFACTv *OHNO TELLS ME IN THE SAME STONED SARCASTIC TONE HE ADOPTS FOR THE DURATION OF OUR CONVERSATION (OW DID HE GET INTO DEALING AND HOW LONG HAS THE MOBILE COFFEESHOP BEEN OPERATING h4HE MENU IS A RELATIVELY RECENT INNOVATION AND ) WAS MOVING SOME STUFF AROUND FOR A WHILE BEFORE THE OPPORTUNITY AROSE TO PUT A MENU TOGETHER ) HAD BEEN BITCHING TO FRIENDS ABOUT THE LACK OF VARIETY ON THE )RISH WEED MARKET SO ) THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH WAS AND PROVIDE THE SORT OF SERVICE ) WAS LOOKING FOR AS A SMOKER v 4HIS BRINGS HIM ON TO HIS MOTIVATIONS FOR ENTERING THE CANNABIS MARKET h) GOT INTO DEALING THROUGH HAVING A BURNING DESIRE FOR HIGH QUALITY WEED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND HIGH QUALITY WEED IN )RELAND 3O THEN IT BECAME ABOUT

SOURCING GOOD WEED FOR MYSELF AND A COUPLE OF FRIENDS AND THEN A COUPLE OF THEIR FRIENDS AND SO ON !ND NOW IT S A HAPPY NETWORK OF SATISFIED CUSTOMERS v h&OR ME THE BIGGEST ATTRACTION IN ALL THIS IS THE FEELING YOU GET FROM GIVING GREAT WEED TO PEOPLE WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET IT ) REALIZE THAT MONEY IS A MASSIVE MOTIVATION FOR MOST PEOPLE BUT THERE HAS TO BE A BALANCE ) KNOW SOME MONEY OBSESSED PEOPLE WHO STILL WON T FUCK WITH THEIR WEED BUT A LOT OF DEALERS ARE CROSSING THE LINE BETWEEN TAKING A PROFIT AND TAKING THE PISS v h%VEN THE DECENT DEALERS GET CAUGHT UP IN THE RIP OFF ETHOS &OR EXAMPLE A GRAM BAG IS CONSIDERED A FAIR FIFTY BAG

BUT IT S BLATANTLY A RIP OFF IT S NEARLY %URO A GRAM AND UNLESS IT S SOMETHING MIND BLOWING IT S NOT WORTH THAT %VEN IF IT IS MIND BLOWING IT CAN BE BROUGHT TO MARKET CHEAPER THAN THAT v h4HE WEED THAT S IN THE G BAG STARTED LIFE AS A CHEAP MASS PRODUCED PRODUCT SOLD AT SOMETHING LIKE A EURO A GRAM

BUT ) M JUST THE MIDDLE MAN !LL ) M DOING IS GETTING SUPPLIERS HOOKED INTO THE MARKET WITHOUT HAVING TO EXPOSE THEMSELVES ) TAKE A COMMISSION WHICH ) FEEL REFLECTS THE RISK WHICH IS RELATIVELY LOW &OR IMPORTED STUFF THE COMMISSION WILL BE AROUND %URO AND FOR )RISH STUFF MAYBE %URO A GRAM

DEPENDING ON THE WHOLESALE PRICE (OW MUCH OF THE SUPPLY IS )RISH AND HOW MUCH IS IMPORT AND WHICH IS CHEAPER TO BUY h!T THE MOMENT

EVERYTHING ON THE MENU IS IMPORT ) AM ALWAYS CHASING )RISH PRODUCTS

BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT S HARDER TO TIE DOWN )RISH SUPPLIERS THAN IT IS TO GET STUFF FROM %UROPE v HE SAYS REFLECTING A COMMON COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PRODUCTIVITY OF )RELAND S NATIVE GROWERS h7HEN IT COMES TO COST EVEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE EXTRA EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH IMPORTING STUFF FROM 3PAIN OR (OLLAND IT S MUCH CHEAPER TO SOURCE IMPORT STUFF )F YOU RE LOOKING FOR SUPER CHEAP WEED YOU WON T FIND IT IN )RELAND 7HEN IT COMES TO THE QUALITY END OF THE MARKET YOU HAVE AN EVEN CHANCE OF CONVINCING AN )RISH

GROWER TO SELL FOR AROUND THE GRAND A KILO MARK WHICH MAY WORK OUT CHEAPER THAN HIGH QUALITY IMPORT DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH OF IT YOU RE BUYING v h4HE PROBLEM WITH )RISH GROWERS IS EITHER THAT THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE OR THAT THEY PRODUCE TOO LITTLE 7E ARE STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE GROW REVOLUTION IN )RELAND SO A LOT OF HARVESTS WIND UP BEING MUCH SMALLER THAN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AND THE DEMAND IS SO HIGH THAT IT S NOT HARD TO SHIFT IT USUALLY AT THE SORT OF PRICES ) MENTIONED EARLIER GRAMS FOR J

OUNCES FOR J v *OHNO SAYS THAT THE )RISH WHOLESALE MARKET HAS BECOME SWAMPED WITH WET WEED AND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PHENOMENON WHICH IS HERE TO STAY h3O LONG AS PEOPLE ARE BUYING WET WEED

THE SELLER HAS NO INCENTIVE TO SELL IT DRY

SO THERE S A GOOD CHANCE HE LL OPT FOR THE MORE PROFITABLE OPTION v HE SAYS

ATTRIBUTING LITTLE MORALITY TO THE MASS MARKET WEED MERCHANTS 7ET WEED IS NOT HIS ONLY BUGBEAR *OHNNO ALSO COMPLAINS THAT COMING UP SHORT IS A SERIOUS HAZARD TO THE )RISH WEED CONSUMER 'ETTING RIPPED OFF IS A WAY OF LIFE HERE h7HEN ) WAS A CONSUMER RATHER THAN SUPPLIER ) RARELY RECEIVED A STRAIGHT DOWN THE LINE OUNCE v *OHNO REMEMBERS h)F IT WASN T WET IT WAS FULL OF STALK OR LEAF )F IT WAS DECENT WEED USUALLY YOU WOULDN T GET ENOUGH OF IT AND IT D BE SOLD OUT BY THE TIME YOU GO BACK TO COMPLAIN ANYWAY )T S RIDICULOUS TRYING TO GET WEED IN )RELAND THAT S WHY MOST PEOPLE HAVE THREE OR FOUR DEALERS THEY CAN ROTATE TO TRY TO GET SOMETHING EVERY WEEK ) HAVE SPENT A HORRENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME JUST CHASING WEED IN )RELAND v 7HICH BRINGS US NEATLY BACK TO THE MOTIVATION FOR GETTING INVOLVED IN THE SUPPLY SIDE OF THE MARKET *OHNO SAYS HE ESSENTIALLY WANTED TO BECOME THE DEALER HE WAS SEEKING BUT NEVER FOUND h)T S A HORRIBLE THING TO BE TRYING TO SOURCE WEED ON A MORE OR LESS CONTINUOUS BASIS AND IT TURNED OUT THAT FOR ME THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT WAS TO DO IT MYSELF )T TOOK A GOOD FEW YEARS OF BEING RIPPED OFF AND SCRAPPING AROUND TRYING TO GET HIGH BEFORE ) DECIDED TO TAKE THE PLUNGE
