Not exactly, but I got business cards from a couple head shop owners that were interested in wholesale orders. As an aggregate, the head shops pay too much for their wholesale kratom. For anyone that didn't get the reference, my primary bus

Be careful about implying any connection to YC when you are not affiliated with YC. That's a secret rule that can get your post killed. I'm not saying you do here, just that you are coming close by using the phrase "Hacker News". I myself s
