As we all know education does not make people rich lol. Great ideas do with a great implementation, the only thing school measure is how much bullshit you will put up with to get a piece of paper.

No, I went through the public education system. I guess I could be considered homeschooled in the mind.
You're not the friend, sorry. I'm not killing anybody with tobacco, they choose to do it themselves and it only kills you if you believe that it will.
so i guess those warnings on the cigarette packs were wrong all along?Are you homeschooled?
hmm..
This is actually a good idea.
*edit* can someone check to make sure Dank's account hasn't been hacked ??

the unique psychedelic atmosphere
I believe in you Dank.
Also, don't let Rarity pirate another one of your threads.
The problem in reproducing that image isn't the furniture, it's the three hundred year old building

so i guess those warnings on the cigarette packs were wrong all along?Based solely on this statement, I believe you must be quite young or quite naive or more likely both. If you aren't mature enough to know that smoking kills plain and simple, you're probably not mature enough to deal with the daily grind of running a small business.

Phinnaeus, I plan on having a somewhat psychedelic atmosphere, thanks for the offer but I want to cut the cost down on furniture, I don't think a style like that is within my budget (but I could be wrong). You couldn't supply counter tops or coffee tables, could you?
Have you considered what decor you're planning on going with. A welcoming ambiance would most diffidently increase you potential income, coupled with a proper name--Dank's Hookah Lounge (not bar).
Note how welcoming this place is simply by incorporating barn wood in its decor. I'm located in Sandwich, Illinois, and I don't know where you're located, but if you're close, I'll being willing to supply you barn wood at cost plus.
"Smoke at Dank's, Dank's is fun, come right now, don't walk - run!"

Addiction is a disease, not a choice. Learn some science about the dangers of tobacco. I feel very bad for your employees who may be subjecting themselves to a dangerous workplace out of economic necessity.

Hello, my idea for Dank Glass has evolved thanks to a friend.
You're welcome, but killing people with tobacco is just as wrong as selling them illegal drug paraphernalia.
Got that right. 
I have taken business classes in high school and my dad has taught me a good amount about it, as a child. I was thinking of taking some classes/counseling for this specific model, I'll consider an SBA mentor. I think it shouldn't be a problem, I hope to be running within a month though.
I would go through a bank as back up, but I wanted to give the Bitcoin community a chance, first, since I don't like banks.
Thanks for the feedback.

It took me a month to write my 30+ page business plan and I've spent months since then refining it. Starting a business is hard and not for most people, but if you are the entrepreneurial type this template should help you figure out what your business will look like.
In fact, given your business is 'legal' you should probably spent some time and find an SBA mentor to help you. There is really no reason for you to seek funds here as you should be able to get a loan at any bank if your numbers are solid.

I plan on using the weekend to go over the details myself, I just got the idea today and wanted the hunt for investors to begin.
I will be talking to my attorney next week about the subject, as well.
Thank you, I greatly appreciate your input.

Just a friendly suggestion. I would recommend this weekend starting to come up with better numbers. Use the thread to answer questions but you really need to flesh in your details.
Even something as simple as an excel spreadsheet can allow you to start to get a handle on your real costs.
For example you have $8/hr for labor. As an employer you are required to pay the employer half of FICA (~7.65%) plus Workman's Comp Insurance is required in most states and costs extra. You (or at the very least your investors) likely want some payroll system to handle tax deductions, remissions, and issue net paychecks to avoid that liabilty/penalty. So that is just one of your budget items.Generally speaking for most employers labor costs about 200% to 300% of actual wages. Even with no benefits, sickdays, nothing 150% of actual wages is a good starting point.

Not quite, this is a hookah, used to smoke flavored tobacco:
