Making money from domain names

One smart entrepreneur, Drew Riegel, makes big money from domain names. He started his pot business without ever dealing in pot, hiring staff or keeping an inventory. His business is buying and selling domain names. Riegel spends his time watching the industry and how it changes. He buys the domain names others may want to buy sometime in the future. Riegel parks them offshore to minimise the risk of the government shutting down the sites as cannabis is still illegal at the federal level. He can have up to 1000 names in stock, and sells and leases them to companies and individuals. Prices range from $500 t $10,000 for his generic domain names.

Some names Riegel uses himself to create websites selling cannabis products. He receives a percentage of all the sales.

Removing cannabis from Schedule 1

Expectations building the government will remove cannabis from Schedule 1. If this happens, the industry will bloom. While it will not legalize pot on paper, state governments will be free to legislate it in each state. Much as they already do but there will be no federal jurisdiction.

Currently American post offices do not allow cannabis delivery through the mail. There are heavy fines and even jail time if caught sending it through the mail. The introduction of the Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act into parliament last year could change that if it passes. Once cannabis is no longer on the restricted drug list it will no longer be illegal to send pot products through the mail. This will push up the value of pot domain names to many times their original value. With selling all things cannabis online, those who own these domain names will make a killing.
