Even double the price is a very hefty markup, thats 100%, especially when its drug related, and considering ones 'overheads' of creating or picking mushrooms is next to nothing.

100% is standard retail markup. That $50 electronic gadget cost the store about $25.

it all depends on the context. I used to get ten vials of LSD for $500. I would turn around and sell them for $100 each, and my friends were fucking stoked. They made more money off each vial than I did. I just enjoyed the security of only dealing with a few people who I knew very well.

Not really. $200 qp becomes $25 quarter ounces. 100% markup.

Maybe you could just ask your friend buy them for the price of production. You re not profiting from it but at the same time covering expenses and supplies.

its a product, u paid for it. u can sell it. i would sell them only to ppl i know, and im sure that they wouldnt do anything stupid. dont sell them to strangers like a dealer, just to friends. it would be wrong if u sell them to kiddies and ppl who r not ready for this kind of experience, only for the profit. that would be the same like selling crack.

Its the same crime giving them away as it is selling them. Yes I think that you should profit from the fruits of your labor, instead of letting others sell them for you to make profit.
My biggest concern is whether or not you are gonna get rolled on. Psychedelics can be unpredictable with certain people and they may freak out and call the cops, which could start an investigation into whos the supplier. You gotta make sure that your friend isn't going to roll on you and that you're willing to make these precautions before going into this.

I'm with this guy. I wouldn't trip on the money, I would trip on a prison sentence. Hookin people up with psych's always scares me a bit. It hard to trust people with trippy drugs. Especially mushrooms. Ive seen handfulls of people freak and cause a scene on mush. It really fucks things up.

IF someone does roll you and say an investigation goes through but they can't pin any evidence on you... if it's just his word against yours what happens ? case just dropped ? (not with a case of a death) ?

As long as you are selling at a good price, with honest intentions (hey, let's not make shrooms a Capitalist Commodity!) and don't sell to kids or people who would freak out, then it's all bless I guess!

I always sell em way cheaper than the normal price and just sell em til my own use and the cost of production is covered. So basically I just sell enough to break even and support my own habits, anything over that is given away. Its kind of like a compromise of capitalism and commune hippie living
and I always go to other friends who grow or whatever first so we support each other so that the money doesn't influence our drug plans and our drug plans don't influence our money

oh and I should mention that any money money I make off of drugs is put back into it, whether that means a new bong, a new pressure cooker, or whatever, unless its charity of some sort
cuz I'm sure we all know those douchebags who always try to sell everything at least five bucks over the normal price, cutting shit, pinching, etc everytime-fuckin motivated by greed

I had the complete opposite, first I sold them no problem, but started questioning it later. The price was 10$ for a dry gram at first (where I'm from, that's actually reasonable), and now if I'm prompted to ask for money (whereas I usually give them away for free), I do it with 1$/g. I don't want to abuse a thing that has given me so much for material gain.
But it's an individual choice, and especially if you're hard-pressed for cash, then of course. Consider it another perk.

this thread is full of people openly talking about how they sell drugs and make profit, and assuring each other its ok to make money from drugs
if this isn't an admission of guilt I don't know what is
sooner or later this open forum will be seen as a place to discuss making profits from drugs. this is just getting bad.

what.. didn't you make a thread teaching on how to manufacture LSD?
most of this stuff is going to happen anyways at least were not talking about slanging crack. People need their psyches, and if some one is willing to risk jail time so be it, at least it isn't you.
