Famous TV characters all start somewhere: Walter White with chemistry, Tony Montana with sheer nerve, Pablo Escobar with smuggling. In Schedule 1, though, you have no doctorate, no gun and no useful connections. You have a kitchen, a packet of seeds and zero dollars of starting capital. In Schedule 1 you can build an empire that runs from a basement grow bed all the way to a legal IPO — or get busted on your very first deal because you decided to bribe a SWAT team with a golden toaster. If you have played Schedule 1 already, you know: a business plan in this genre lasts exactly until the first raid. So, what kind of shadow entrepreneur are you?
