Stoner


Once in Denver, a Colorado trim operation wanted to sell to a company in Las Vegas, Nevada. The primary leaders came to me, flew out to meet me in Las Vegas, then I drove to Denver to inspect their operation. My job was to sell the entire operation to a Nevada based business. Henderson, Nevada, south of Las Vegas, Henderson had the space that they wanted to farm in. I was puzzled. The owner of the Denver based business said something that did not feel right - Her tone did not feel appropriate. I asked questions. Many questions were answered with cheer. Honesty was everywhere as I toured the building. Then I met the employees. Went to the next business with employees. Asked them questions. Enjoying the adventure of learning, I was enthusiastic about meeting the team of trimmers. I asked the owner, "How to find these workers?" Where did they come from? I wanted to know how to encourage a work force to trim marijuana plants. I wanted to know how I would hire my staff. How do I find employees to work for me and my trim operation? The owner was quite simple. The owner gave me a statement that was quite blunt. She said, "They are Stoners, Thomas."

Trim Operations

Stoners, the statement was degrading, blunt to the point of fault, the owner said in her tone, attitude, and disregard, when I asked how she hired and who she hired, "I find weak people with an addiction to drugs, a criminal record, a disposition to work only with marijuana, and I make them an offer they can't refuse. I hire people that are addicted. I find people that have few hopes, no choices, or just like to work around cannabis. I will never forget. To this day, I will never forget. I didn't want to look at people that way when I worked with them. I didn't want anything to do with buying or purchasing her trim operation. Transportation to Henderson, Nevada; Las Vegas, Nevada; I didn't want to do that to another business owner. I learned that it was best not to get involved. The investments. The deals. Multi-million dollar corporations are bankrupt. I saw it. I was there. I saw the worst characters in the business. I watched government leaders, politicians, and

Communicators

  Why do I write this? I have the experience to connect people and bring these businesses together. It surprises me at times, because I know a lot of people, and realize that the network began simply because my mother and father were great communicators. They taught me how to listen, liked each person they met with enthusiastic energy, seriously my mother and father embraced traveling and meeting new people. My mother reached out to strangers when they were hiking near the Golden Gate Bridge and offered them rides into San Francisco to show them treasurers. My father would stop at a grocery store in Chinatown to buy and cut into an exotic fruit so that I could try the meat of the fruit for the first time. Written by Thomas Chee.

Articles

  The magazine articles took off, because I was traveling, and gaining stories from outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Readers in Las Vegas were sick of reading about Las Vegas. Hollywood readers were sick of stories in Southern California. If you write about Missouri, readers in Los Angeles will pay attention to the magazine article. If you write about Las Vegas, readers in San Francisco will be more interested in readers in Las Vegas. Photography was the same; San Francisco readers loved to see female models from Las Vegas. Models in Las Vegas wanted to take photographs on San Francisco cable cars, coastlines, add portraits of them on the beach, Golden Gate Bridge, and I was getting out of town. Covering stories from other angles. Thinking out of the box. Going the extra mile paid off. The magazines were taking my articles. The models were traveling with me. San Diego models worked on stories from Las Vegas, Nevada. Sonoma County models were meeting me for photographs in San Francisco'
