Vape shops have been flooding my little town for the past 5 years. We’ve probably had about 8 new ones open in up in that time. Most of them are only a quarter mile away from each other.
My theory is that they expect cannabis to be legalized soon and are staking their claims now so they’ll be ready to start selling that ASAP.
The only logical conclusion I can draw is that there’s a lot of money laundering going on. Otherwise, it is remarkably stupid to open a business in a market that is already overserved.
Seems a bit daft to do your money laundering with a type of business that is renown for money laundering. Seems like they would be very likely to be visited by the authorities.
Not a problem if you’re confident in your laundering skills. Easy to build them by doing business in Money Laundering City
If your laundering it properly, how would they know?
Sincerely hoping every CEO behind vaping gets burned alive

I don’t understand why barbers are tied to vapes? Also why are Turkish barbers singled out?

Supposedly because they are fronts for money laundering. It seems to be such common knowledge that it seems like they would be the first places to get a visit from the constabulary or Customs and Excise, so I’m wondering if they actually are.

What is generating the need for money laundering? If the thinking is pot is about to be legal.
