He has launched a lot of businesses in his time and higher level investment so maybe he has done well somewhere. But the whole 50 million poker won in one year never happened. I dont care if he has 40 million dollar transfer proof, tax returns or GTFO.

I dont know the current status but Ignite is going to be on the Canadian exchange or already is under an old holding company, but they are going for an IPO and could be significant as a lot of massive valuations coming out the Canadian emerging market.

It's been verified by Haralabob and other reliable sources that Blitz did win 50 mil over the course of I think a year.

Not too different from the craft beer business, legalized weed is first and foremost a marketing business. I bet everyone who has seen pitches by weed startups had to read the name “Brewdog” on at least one slide of the pitch deck.

I see zero reason why Blitz shouldn’t be able to utilize his huge social media reach to sell weed. If Kylie Jenner can make a billion selling make-up through Snapchat and Instagram, Blitz should be able to make a buck or two with weed.

Besides that, by now everyone should be able to understand that you don’t have to be very good at poker to make a lot of money. All you need is to find a couple people who are very rich and very bad at poker and let you into their big game.

Fortune favors the bold. More power to him if he can pull it off.

The whole ganja business (outside of medicinal uses) has me wondering why, with so many stupid and slow people in this world, do so many want to smoke a substance that makes them even more stupid and slow. Don't we already have booze for that?

Has Blitzcakes tried a booze brand yet? You KNOW someone isn't business savvy when they try and make their own brand of liquor.

Lol. You are the worst type of person. Only took 9 words. What if we don't want a "normal job" What if.. and hear me out here, some of us bold men like the idea of creating something from nothing. Like the idea of working outside, with our hands in the dirt. Like the idea of providing clean cannabis for all the millions of people that want it to consume. Like the idea of not punching a ****ing clock. You'd think these lifestyle choices might resonate with a poker player; but i guess theres right wing "devils lettuce" haters everywhere. Don't **** on another mans legal business ventures because you were too chicken **** to do something for yourself.

He has already failed as he is both a liar and fraud and it's going to crumble.

Have you smoked weed? You will be stupid for like hours at most, meanwhile booze on the same level of intoxication will have your brain ****ed up for many more hours. On top of that booze has many more negative impacts on the body and energy. Weed's negative effects last a very small amount of time next to booze and booz's side effects can have a cascading effect to brain damage, disease and death. Weed doesnt have any of those effects.

It's funny as a youth being a farmer seems like a life of misery and boredom. Closing in on middling age being a farmer seems like a good move and something that is way more rewarding than what I've done to make a living. I grow my own veggies during growing seasons and when I get more land I want to have some livestock since I grew up with that influence here and there. I'd love to grow weed but making your own food is like a scientific and spiritual connection to your own food and for sure will end up with better health in the long run. Either food or a weed product I'd love to work with living objects instead of something like working at Kmart or a cubicle job. Even the constructions jobs where everything is dead is meh, the only thing that compares is landscaping. Your job is to make beauty with life and land. So much fun.

Ironic for a bold man who likes to create something from nothing that you choose weed for your product. You are just exploiting the legallity of it. You could create literally millions of other things, MILLIONS of other things.

Im the end of the day, once your product become legal, it aint worth s**t, because lets face it, growing weed is easier than baking a good pie.

Also lol at calling me a devil lettuce hating right winger, I love weed and have likely smoked more of it in my life than you, and you are from humbolt. Just sick of hearing from you self entittled weed tards that weed owes you a living.

Humbolt, where do you think your "clients" get their money from? I wager to say that they are not creating something from nothing with dirty hands.

Not sure why I am having a go at you, just sick of artists, poker players, weed growers & other bludgers who turn their nose up at people with and Ill say it again, who have "real jobs" . MF if it wasnt for people with real jobs all you bludgers wouldnt have a pot to p**s in.

No more driving across town to meet sketchy people to buy a product with money that could have been better spent, of questionable quality and wondering if I was going to get ripped off.

No more worry about being pulled over and arrested, losing my car and job. The penalties for pot were pretty severe in Nevada back in the 70's and 80's. Even got tossed out of Disneyland once in front of my family for smoking a roach in the parking lot.

When I quit smoking my family life improved drastically, became more productive at my job and trusted by my peers.

There are people that think drinking/smoking meth/shooting heroin/taking prescription narcotics/smoking crazy strong dope doesn't hurt them and improves their lives.

In my opinion they are wrong but life is about choices. Darwin's theory at work

Been doing this looooooong before it was legal pal. So “exploiting it because it’s legal” is laughable. “Growing weed is easier than baking a pie” haha spoken like someone who has never farmed anything on a commercial level. Get back to me when you can “easily” produce a literal ton of smokable flower without any pesticide, that tests free of all microbial contaminates.. oh and it has to actually be good too. . You have zero clue what it takes. It’s people like you who think that AAA quality weed just magically appears in your store that are ruining the entire industry with the “once legal it’s worth nothing” I never said it owed me a living. But I don’t need clueless ****s like you telling me that it’s easy. We are talking about my livelihood here dude you realize that right? I have family, mortgage, real **** like the next guy. So pardon me if it rubs me the wrong way when people like you are acting like smug *******s saying “good” that we are losing our means of survival. If you smoke as much herb as you say... you should probably stop. Or grow your own. I’d hate to think something that myself or some other farmer worked months for and cared for would end up in the hands of an ungrateful sob such as yourself.

Also, I wasn’t attacking the clientele for not having their hands in the dirt. You were attacking my industry by saying “good” to the fact that we are struggling a bit now. I respect anybody that puts his pants on in the morning and goes out and gets his to provide.

It’s extremely easy to grow potatoes and an apple tree takes exactly zero work except for planting it and picking the fruits. So why are people buying potatoes and apples in the store? Most people don’t even cultivate their own freaking kitchen herbs. Recreational weed smokers want to go to the store, buy some and have a relaxed evening. Same way as people going to the liquor store to get a 6 pack to watch SNF. Using a kit for home brewing is trivial and still it’s an absolute niche market.

So he heard from a guy that he won 50 million HU but is sharing zero knowledge of the event or how the other 364 days of his year went. Who are the other reliable sources?

Thanks for the vid, long time since I watched a Papi video, one of the highlights of when I was in the poker world was having a 45-minute "conversation" with Joey.

Mostly packing up a car and sending it to state that is selling high-quality grams for 20 - 30 a shot, also a thriving inter-state black market exists as the 37% tax really kills things.

so your argument that weed is bad is based on the fact that you dealt with a bunch of **** cuz it was illegal, then when the govt put the screws on you even harder and forced you to quit, you stopped having to deal w/ said stigma and hassle?

90% of the issues you seem to have seem to be easily remedied by legalizing it, and yet you're still OMC ****ting on the ppl who smoke and don't believe anyone who says it's a net positive.

I don't smoke cuz it makes me complacent and antisocial, but let's not act like this story made your assertions at all credible lol

A friend of mine has a son who was a weed grower in OR. He grew 100% organic. My friend said his son quit the business because the margins had gotten thinner with more and more growers coming to the area. He also said, that non organic growers started spraying their product with something that stayed with the plant to add weight to it.

Does this sound familiar to any of the experts in here?

So because you're a ****ing idiot you think everyone else that smokes weed is also an idiot?

What about the boatloads of people that smoke weed on a regular basis that lead productive lives?

He's likely talking about PGRs (plant growth regulators) Paclobutrazol being the most common.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paclobutrazol

Stuff is gross. Basically inhibits cell elongation and cell division. The plant will "stack" harder (tighter internodal spacing) which in turn creates larger flowers. A significant decrease in quality when using PGRs. This to say nothing of the negative health effects caused by Paclo. Which is why i get all huffy when people say "growing weed is easier than baking a pie" Do some reading on PGRs and become an informed cannabis consumer. Its not apples to apples.
