sign up for mturk and do that poo poo if you want to do some silly poo poo for not-much-money. At least there's no insane start-up costs or insane risk of utter disaster.

I'm sure there would be no problem with doing this. quote:To glean an amount of dry saffron weighing 1 lb (450 g) is to harvest 50,000–75,000 flowers, the equivalent of an association football pitch's area of cultivation; 110,000–170,000 flowers or two football fields are needed to gross one kilogram. Also it originates in Crete and today is mostly grown in Iran. Tuyop can convert his spare bedroom into an Iranian climate, right?

If you got LED grow lights not only would the cops no be able to see your grow house with an IR camera but you'd save a bunch on energy. I guess in Canada you're just displacing heating costs with what's basically a big heater/humidifier.

At university I did wonder where my growing lamps went. One night I discovered a purple glow coming from a laundry cupboard. Sure enough my flatmates were raising basil seedlings. Tuyop you should do calculations on power consumption before getting into horticulture. Can you afford the power cost?

It's unclear with the bolding and capitalization of BASIL whether we're talking about weed at this point but if we are really talking about basil there has been no discussion of demand. Who is going to buy this poo poo? If you had a kilo of fresh basil right now would you be able to sell it before it went bad? All the basil in the world will be useless if you have no way of getting it into the hands of basil-wanters. If BASIL is your super-clever code for weed then good luck with your idiotic criminal enterprise.

I trust that Toeshoes is not going to let him literally turn the spare bedroom into a growop and that we are in fact talking about the legal plant that goes well in pasta, not the illegal plant that goes well in brownies.

You may be surprised to learn that using cute codewords does not protect you from prosecution in any way when it is blatantly obvious what said code words refer to. The "get out of debt via weed" plan reminds me of the documentary on this guy though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballarat_Bandit

Maybe just ask some chefs if they want some of my awesome locally grown, sustainable, organic basil for their delicious recipes? Sell it at flea markets? Health food stores? Costco? I don't know! There are so many places selling like three sprigs of basil for 3 bucks, and I could grow just POUNDS of the stuff, the opportunities for success are limitless. Also, I've been bolding basil so that it is 100% clear that I am literally talking about the culinary herb, basil, which is eaten. Also, the new kijiji ad for the I stole Zeta Taskforce's ad summary verbatim because it was really good. And took some hasty panoramas. I would have taken an exterior shot but it's dark out now.

The ad is a lot better. Regarding the basil idea, I'm not sure if you thought this through. I hate to admit it but it sounds like a fun idea but I don't really see a strong potential for this business idea. Yes, they do sell basil by the sprigs for like $3 on average but think about the profit margins for those guys. The chefs will not buy basil at that price. The retails will not buy basils at price.
