Weed Wars: New show on Discovery

Dawn Patrol

Well this is some bullshit right here.....

according to bro they're down 150k from same month last year. since theyr a nonprofit, why would they give a fuck?

Non profit or not, when you're managing any enterprise and you grow it beyond 5-10 employees, typically you have fixed costs (rent, salaries, insurance,etc.) that don't change no matter what your income is so it becomes an exercise in managing cash flow.

If you're an enterprise the size of Harbourside and you're down $150K to last year, that's not a good thing. Ever.

Still, it seems that the producers are scripting as much drama as they can and this would be one of the easiest scenarios to fake. For Harbourside's sake I hope that this is all just manufactured BS.

my honest, unbiased takes on episode 3:

1-i can't stand that these guys get high on their own supply. that is one of the ten commandments of business... these guys getting high on the job, is as bad as a bartender getting drunk on the job... NOT GOOD...."image is everything"

2-that 26 year old kid who is their lead buyer and all over stevey d's balls is such a sissy boy... seeing him verbally speak of stevey d while whimpering made me LOL for real... woke both my dogs up and put them on high alert when i released my burst of laughter after seeing this... lol then he goes and steals a lb of donated weed..
Fatty the buyer said:
"i need to talk to you"
26yr old sissy boy said:
"WHY??? did i do something bad"
ME said:
LOL..dude just gave it away! .
. lol they are down 150k in sales for the year and they are going around asking their workers why they are down in sales and the workers are blaming it on some hillarious shit............ imma go ahead and guess that the workers want a piece of the pie as well....i think the d'angelos are gonna be implementing more procedures and rules after this fiasco! i wonder how much shit gets lifted off these guys! lots more then 150k (i thought it was less but the guy who posted a couple before me says 150 so ill go with that) im guesssing....
PINK FLOYD- Money said:
money, so they say, is the root of all evil today..... "money, its a crime, share it fairly, but don't take a piece of my pie"
.....furthermore susan, i wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that the editors had placed the video of the kid whimpering in the beginning of the show but really it had been filmed after he had gotten caught being a greedy FUCK....typical pill/opiate junky doing anything to feed his need for lil opie....... the kid never Edgar Allen Poe's story "The Cask of Amontillado"......3000$...thats grand theft... ..... perhaps the d'angelo's need to learn how to share more fairly with the people who are working for them, or perhaps they will continue to get lifted off of.......in this situation though, im guessing he was treated fairly, just happened to fall victim to being a junky on top of being greedy fuck...anyways though...everybody is watching..and it still remains tru.....image is everything

im stoned rambling here........ this whole story just shows how much greed is involved in the business........... the shit was DONATED in the first place, but the owners say he stole 3000 from THEM.... i just dont understand that concept... can someone school me on that?
3-I can't stand the staff, and their lack of professionalism. They all dress like they could care less about their image.... I have a serious problem with that.... ever hear the saying "image is everything"? well it was created for a reason, i can assure you that... as business owners, the d'angelo's need to realize that their image is more important then ANYTHING....when weed is federally legalized, or "medicalized" THEN you can slack on your image (if you want to go out of business quick because others who care about their image will beat you)....image is everything...

4- i have realized that if and when dispensaries become legal to create and operate across the country, there will be MUCH MORE sophisticated, educated, and intelligent business owners stepping up and running them..(you know, the guys who are smart enough to not want to live behind bars and eat shit food and fear asshole rapings :yikes:).. the sad thing is that the dummies that are painting the picture NOW and are supposed to be the ones who are going to sway the opinions of the public by having a good image, are doing a piss poor job.... image IS everything... the guy with the dress?!?!? come on!!! he is one example.......
image is everything

5- what the fuck is up with these guys getting "medicated" on edibles and then going and playing softball?!?!?!?!?
D'angelo with glaucoma said:
"my whole team is gonna be WACKED OUT on edibles ahahahha, then come the 3rd inning they are all gonna be REALLLLY wacked out"
come on now.... that is a BIG strike... im not even going to elaborate on why that is just bad all around for business.... image is everything...image is everything






final word: unfortunately, i have come to the conclusion that i really think that these guys are a group of bozo's. i do agree with most everybody here in this thread that has said this. It is a damn shame, and sad that these guys fail to understand the concept of "image".... i still give them credit for trying to pave the way for the weed business, and trying to get it accepted nationwide..... but truthfully, these guys are one strike away from striking out, and ultimately the only thing these guys are doing is helping give UPS, USPS, and FedEx more business, as well as putting more money in the pockets of well connected mid level dealers across the nation (because they are now getting quality cali grown bud shipped to them at a fraction of the cost of what they pay in their hoods)..... after watching this 3rd episode, I am convinced that the outcome of california's weed scene is that dispensaries will be eliminated and the shipping companies will be the ones who deliver the weed to the "patients"..... this is no good for the closet grower who fetches top dollar now..... even in these early stages of the closing of dispensaries, I have seen a huge influx of vac pack'd shit outta cali in my area and areas around me.... will the DEA set up shop around the shipping hubs out of cali? have dogs sniff out every package? I can see it now, "weed wars 2: introducing the DEA"

I wonder how many of those donations are really donations, rather "suggested" donations or maybe even suggested bribes? I had no idea that there was that side to the dispensery busieness. That part is really ugly to me.

fairly common....

sellers usually give buyers a shit ton of extra bud for head stash or to try a new strain, hash and other things. happens a lot at the grow stores as well....

this one kat used to give me Cuban cigars and coke! never did the coke, gave it away. but, have you ever tried rolling a blunt with a Cuban? damn near impossible and disgusting as fuck!

that part was funny....bet he went and sold that shit on the black market a few hours later lol.

id rather smoke weed with a few dead bugs in it than smoke weed thats been sprayed up with pesticides..
Agreed, first thing i learned from reading Grow forums: Don' buy weed! Most growers are irresponsible idiots when it comes to pesticides. GrowerXY: "I got mites, everywhere, what shall i do? HELP! FAST!
Edit:Nevermind, I got this BUG-SARIN nerveagent form a gardener friend of mine- it's totally safe for POTATOES OUTDOORS, so i think it's safe to assume i can just spray it on my indoor weed up until the last week of flower."
 
The Third episode was another embarrassment for harborside.

I'm pretty sure that the "lead-sales" douche (crying baby) stole many times before that. When he was finally caught by a coworker he had puppy dog eyes- like he took a shit on the carpet and now he’s going to get his face rubbed in it. I'm sure he was caught at a crime that he was committing for weeks or months. He probably got started by taking grower (supplier) bribes and worked his way to forging sales. Now, imagine if (a few) or (many) employees did the same thing.

Maybe that's why harborside is down 150k each month? not all of it, but some of it?

Harborside is a very large volume supplier. I'm sure that the crying hippy has done this before and maybe a few times. Without cameras, and with stoned accountants, it would be easy to steal from these idiots. After all, the CFO had to look thru a storage locker to find their accounting data to give to the IRS in the 2nd episode... What Turds! Today, we have thing's called computers. Harborside makes 21 million each year and they don’t spend money on a rudimentary electronic data system. and I don't mean quick books. Wtf?
No wonder they are in trouble with the government?

Also, in the 2nd episode the top executives from harborside show up to a federal hearing to settle their tax dispute, and one of the guys shows up wearing a dress.

No wonder why they NOW owe a $1 million dollar tax bill due at the end of the month.

If you showed up to my office wearing a dress I would boot you out!

I think the whole cast is fucked up!

Smoking and eating edibles on "the job" is totally messed up, especially when it's your BOSS, and they actually show it on TV. If my boss came into work ripped I would lose confidence and respect for my employer and probably look for another job. Totally unprofessional!

Also, it actually shows them pilfering their own goody and weed stash (vault), taking whatever they wanted too in front of millions of viewers. Is that herb being accounted for? Probably not!

Maybe that's how they are down 150K each month? use your imagination!

These guys are suppose to be setting the standard for the MEDICAL WORLD, in front of the Feds and the sober community, and yet they make bigger jackasses out of themselves each week!

Is Harborside really that bad, or is this all scripted?
If i would believe the documentaries on TV, all Germans are either fat, <80 IQ whores, alcoholic wiggers, messies or coked to the gills, attention-whoring Paris Hilton wannabees. In real life these poor excuses for human beings are rather hard to find.

Not to question the integrity of your buddy, but more likely than not those cubans were fake.

80-90% of the "Cubans" in the US are fake.

That's why it probably tasted like shit.

They need to hire an assistant general manager with a proven track record in the retail industry, and not just one of their head friends who thinks it would be cool to work at a dispensary. One solid non weed background manager could do wonders for that place.

Uniforms for everyone, harborside polos with kakies would be just fine I think.

God that whining bitch little steve.
I would have made him turn in his hat, and cut off his braid, not only are you fired from the store, you can't be Steve D's mini me anymore either.
Then I probably would have beat his ass till pills started flying out of it.

The big pre game toke session looked fun, but not very professional or medicinal.

They need to clean up the image and dress code until they look like something church going republicans would have no problem with at face value.
Andrew D seems to sincerely want the place to be successful, and seems very committed to making it happen, but just lacks the direction IMO, which is why I think they should hire a manager with a strong record of retail management success from outside the weed world

I don't believe that a group of such idiots actually runs a dispensary. I'm telling you, this whole show is written and staged... these people cannot possibly actually exist...
