Preach it brotherman. Got my detailing trailer stolen from me in my early twenties, didn't know what I'm going to do. Done some research. I sold my truck and bought a portable carpet cleaner and rotovac 360 and told my wife that it's a great idea we can survive with one vehicle. It was some tough times but by God's grace survived and still cleaning carpets providing for the family.

Thanks for the advice. I looked at a van and performer machine a couple of days ago. The van has 333,000 on it (2003 Chevy van) and the machine needs a new pump. All for $5000. I'm still not sure but I have worked as a carpet cleaner a few years ago. I think I'll go for it. If the van dies I will sell it for parts and get another one.

Now it kinda is my normal state I actually cant get "high" as for expensive not really if been growing my own since I was like 10 to 12 cant remember when I started lol wasn't legal at the time that's for sure.

@@lesbetts5694 I do believe it helps with adhd but you do realize not everybody has that. Listen I’m no stranger to it as a matter fact it is like my family tree been around it sense I was a baby and quit in my 20s I’m the only one who does not in my family now days and Ido know the overall effects on most people although not deadly but definitely an obstacle for most if getting high is your life. I’d suggest getting into legal cannabis industry if it is.
