Because he doesn’t have any money to pay back to anyone. He started off with pre-existing businesses, and used those funds. Not all companies start out that way, he did it the best and most effecient way he could have.
Props.

If you guys are trying to get your own on the books lab, find the city’s with the highest unemployment, and about to turn in to a gost town and offer them 1.5% . All of your license fees disappear and you are on the fast track to leagel town.

Oregon OLCC allows a processor, grower and wholesaler to sell to dispensaries.
License cost 250 but they aren’t allowing new licenses so cost to buy in this market is currently 100-200k.

So I gotta ask, @Killa12345 is under the impression that all THC licenses backdoor products, that true for you?
I’m gonna guess you wouldn’t admit it here if you did, but it doesn’t hurt to ask!

That’s how AK is. Testing labs fall under retail (I believe), and you can only own a combination of 2 out of the 3 licenses.
Or maybe it’s if you have a cultivation and producers license you can’t have a testing lab. It’s been so long since I got my handler’s card I forget the details

when people have “investors” breathing down their necks for ROI and have no control. Many times the money comes backdooring. Just cause you dont wanna admit it cause your a legal lab; dont pretend like its not common in this industry.
Lots of chads wanna see the money…

Do you have to have everything filmed/recorded in your labs up there? Is it possible for the extraction tech to skim off of the top of the pours. You know, 500 grams to the man, and 20 to me kind of thing?

Everything is recorded, data has to be stored for at least a month I think, might be two.
There’s ways to do whatever, regulatory boards don’t usually come through unless there’s a complaint or word from METRC that something’s fishy. Thing is the Admins/Owners can watch all the footage whenever they want, if they catch you stealing product they can report you to the reg agencies and you get a much harsher charge.
Look into Sweet Leaf in CO, they used the camera footage to put budtenders and managers in prison.

When I owned a lab I paid my extractors 60-100k and now I currently work in a lab for 50k 
, but just temporarily. In Maine if that means anything. I can see Cali Washington Oregon and Colorado not paying shit but the newer states that aren’t flooded with techs should be able to pay a decent wage. Especially if the owners know nothing about running a lab.

You don’t have to skim. Just put it in a box tape it up and walk out. When you try to get sneaky is when you get fucked.
Always act like you own the place. Forgiveness is easier than permission most of the time.

I miss the 215 days. All my employees made at least 2k a week plus we’d give out bonuses all the time. Even bought a couple of them cars. Everyone was happy and life was great. The best part is we loved what we did and made the best hash without getting hung up on expenses.
