I’m doing something very similar to this right now, and I totally recognize the naivety and the learning process, the highs and the lows etc. My business idea is for a line of marijuana themed ashtrays- the special thing about it is that I am donating 1/3 of my profits to Yes on 19, the committee supporting proposition 19 here in california which will legalize marijuana. basically this is to allow a certain group of people (pot smokers) the opportunity to buy a product designed for them that supports a cause that benefits them.

I’ve been working on it pretty hard since june, and i’ve basically set up my own factory to cast these out of hemp reinforced concrete. I had to build and design all the molds out of silicone and polyurethane, and mix up the right concrete formula that sets fast enough and has enough strength. I’ve put together attractive packaging, set up an e commerce web site facebook fan page etc. Now i just need to get them to sell. I’ve got a friend coming onboard this week as a sales rep and we will be trying to get them into local head shops to start. Theres still two months until the election, but time is getting tight. If I can’t get this off to somewhat of a start by then, I think it may be time to move on. If we have a little bit of capital and brand recognition by the election, we can then switch gears and depending on the outcome of the vote, move on to other states, or broaden our product lineup.
