Growing edibles, eventually growing to sell to locals?

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've posted on here. Current status on things (not that many knew who I was if any), I was arrested for possession and am currently going through all of the court process and waiting until I have my hearing so I can be put on drug court and get the felony expunged. Fun fun! Of course this has prevented me from growing any of my beloved cubes. Just isn't worth it and would be a stupid idea at the moment.
HOWEVER, my cousin and I were heavily thinking about delving into edibles. Of course, being the ambitious 18 and 19 year olds that we are, we're already talking about selling to local restaurants and creating our very own frozen and fresh food brand like Tyson!!! Now obviously that is very far fetch given we are just some kids with an idea, but it can happen way down the line if we keep up with it and pursue it as a dream I want to start this off as a hobby as I did with cubensis, and experiment with different means of cultivating and work my way up to larger scale grows, maybe even to a scale where I can sell them fresh to my workplace for the fried portobello mushrooms, mushrooms we put on our pizzas, and various other meals. I feel like that would be a good place to start being that I know the owner, VP, all the managers, and have been there for nearly 2 years (also a long ways out of course).
I'm very aware this is not an overnight/month/year accomplishment, but I would like to get some advice from my fellow shroomerites in where to begin, your personal advice, and be given some links to reads that could be helpful that I may not find on my further research on this site. What are some good edibles to begin with? Is it a feasible idea to sell to local restaurants in the future? How should I enter this idea and with what mindset other than being anxious and ambitious of the future possibilities? Any personal experiences/advice? Any negatives that could arise from this that I'm not thinking of?
Bear in mind that I am fully aware of the search function and I will be using it, I just find it more beneficial and appreciative to ask current users and receive feedback/personal ideas.
Lastly, if this is not the right section, moderators please move it accordingly. As I'm talking about growing I figured this was ok.
Thank you all in advanced! Sorry if I've reverted to noobish questions/posts. It's been a while.

There is a pdf on here, cant remember the name, but goes into all kinds of details. Be ready to give a lot away as "samples".

I was smoking in my car with a friend of mine in a place where I've smoked countless times at the same hour. Next thing I know I'm ripping a bong and there is a floodlight shinning in my window. I was completely honest with him, told him where everything was that I knew of and let him search my car. Turns out I had some mushrooms in the trunk from a trip to Arkansas a while back that I completely forgot about (stoner problems..), and that's what completely fucked me. Lesson learned, now just paying the the price metaphorically and financially. Learned to keep my car clean and that jail is no fun place to be haha.

Thanks for the link, I'll be sure to read into it. I never really thought about how much saving needed to go into it. I'll indefinitely keep it small for now, as my court and attorney fees aren't cheap nor going away for a while haha. practice will make perfect, you all better know there will be samples for days!

I manage my money well, and am good at saving when I need to and want to. So this should be a fairly easy task once my legal stuff is out of the way. Thanks for the advice!
