If the poster is indeed from Westmeath as his screen name suggests, I don't see competition being a huge issue.

Not gonna happen.

Nobody will be willing to help if it means taking a piece of their pie.

Most wholesalers will only sell to "brick and mortar" businesses. I am curious where these basement businesses get their shipments from though.

I did the math a while back and the overhead is pretty high. The costs of hydro alone will kill most profits. It's pretty sad that we need to steal hydro like marijuana grow-ops to make a buck.  :D

As long as you have a business license to sell the product and can meet min order demands, wholesellers will sell to you. You need to have a tax number or something similar.
