Default Ethics of Selling

I don't sell, as a rule. I grow what I need, and give what I don't. It has always served me (and my karma) well. I would also I like to state I have nothing against those who do their part for commercial growth, quite frankly I bless those saints for spreading the love to those without. But, I digress...

Recently a friend of mine posed a question, would it be wrong to sell a crop if you were going to use the money, for say his childrens' scholarships or even give it to a charity? Is there a moral barrier between selling for good reason or for just getting a new big screen tv?

No moral barrier to me, they are the same. Either is a good reason as long as you are giving an honest deal, IMO. VV

I think that as long as you are offering fair prices, not trying to rip people off, selling quality product, and being a good business person is what sets a good seller apart from a bad seller. I mean, think back to before you could grow, what would you have done with out dealers? The bad thing is when you go hand over 20 or 40 bucks for a bag and get ripped off, then you go home disappointed with less smoke than you expected or none. That is when dealing is wrong, when the cash is more important than the idea of wanting to get all your friends stoned.

My personal experience tells me this. I used to sell quite a bit of grass around my town, but the reason I got into it was because I was tired of getting skimp bags and I was tired of the lack of a reliable source in my town. I started selling so that me and my friends could always get fair priced good pot in town but I would never have been able to just give it all away or I wouldn't have been able to do what I was doing.

To me selling marijuana is not bad at all. Becuase its not like your selling somebody something that they might die from, or get addicted and blah blah blah.

I dont like to sell either, but knowing that its not going to kill anyone, I dont mind selling some of it, to pay for nutrients and soils and stuff. I think with what I sell this harvest, im going to get a really good PH pen = ). Sounds nerdy.....

i'll chime in and ask this...

would it be wrong to sell a surplus of tomatoes from my garden? or squash or peppers or anything else?

of course it's wrong to market something as different from what it was and charge differently...but then again, it's a 'free market'.

i guess, why do i feel that this question is posed in some sort of guilt? why NOT sell what you have to spare....you can give it away if you like, that's fine. but why even question the ethic of selling a fair amount at a fair price?

i welcome response.
