Mitch, dont share your business. Out of your options I would go with number 2. Dont bring in a another 'partner' tho, with promises of sharing your potentially significant profits down the road. hire some cheap labor to do the grunt work for hourly or weekly pay. Id hate to see you go distributor only, but driving orders in daily is too much, Make it clear you only ship 1 day a week, and drop them off when you head to town for other supplies. Sucks about US customs. Consider finding a middle man in the US to package and send out US orders for you, in a canna friendly state. I know there are some US based seed companies now, like Oregon Green Seeds. Internal mail doesnt have to go through evil customs and would have very little chance of being intercepted. I would stay focused on quality and dont try to compete with the big boys for numbers, earn loyal customers and keep them, keep bringing out good products and people will keep coming back. With the direction the globe is going, as far as acceptance and legalization of weed, you could do very well for yourself down the road with the direction you are going right now. Seriously, to be successful you need to be greedy sometimes, in business. That doesnt mean quit giving out freebies, but dont over compensate employees, this is YOUR business, you took the risk, dont be too generous with employees/partners.
