"Alchemy E-lixirs is tucked away on a gritty Gardena street littered with rusted lowriders waiting for repairs at an auto shop.
But walk inside the company and you'll see a tidy new laboratory complete with beakers, stainless-steel tables and bottles of colorful liquid resembling snow cone syrup. The liquid is flavored nicotine, worth upward of $40,000 a batch."
"Despite the uncertainty, Alchemy E-lixirs co-owner Atefyekta says he's trying to stay positive about the future of the business that he and Steed built from scratch three years ago.
"If it comes, it comes," Steed said of FDA regulation. "We'll test the waters and probably be out of business, and our 17 employees would have no jobs. Every one of us has a share in this thing."
So what the fuck are they doing with the $40,000 from each batch?
We all know damn well straight by now that the $40,000 batch cost $1000 to make.
They can't save some of the other 39,000 G's for regulation time?
You know, the cost of doing business and shit?
It's stories like this where I just can't feel sorry for these guys.
They have known the deeming regs were coming for 2 and a half of the 3 years they have been in business.
So they wait until TODAY to worry about that shit? - 5150
