Yep, the state is going to make a killing on it. It's a multi-billion dollar industry in California, even if they only tap some of it the tax revenue will be a massive source of income for the state. A lot of that revenue is going to go right back into enforcement as well. I have a feeling we...

Doesn't surprise me, only around 25% of the current, established medical clubs pay taxes at this point. This does not even include the significant number of growers that are coming out of the shadows to get on board with the new program. We are definitely going to be seeing a new green rush in...

From Marijuana Business Daily by John Schroyer California Assemblyman Rob Bonta played a pivotal role in pushing through regulations on the state’s medical marijuana industry, which will greatly transform the nation’s largest MMJ market. Bonta was a primary sponsor of Assembly Bill 266, one...

Not getting arrested would be considered a huge advantage to most growers I would think.

From the Willits News by Kate Maxwell Supervisor Dan Gjerde pulled the Ad Hoc Marijuana Committee’s report from the Dec. 15 board meeting’s consent calendar for further discussion, stating “there’s been a fair amount of interest in the community and the other supervisors about the work of the...

There will be a niche for good quality organic herb, and I agree with Seamiaden - the demand for it will only increase. Of course quality won't mean much if you don't have a certain level of production, grow efficiently, are unable or unwilling to play ball with state and local officials, and...

As if it wasn't complicated enough! Looks like hiring a tax attorney to get everything squared away might not be a bad idea if you want to get in on the new legal cannabis industry in California.

From the Willits News by Kate Maxwell The new Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act will legalize commercial medical marijuana sales in California beginning in 2016, but for existing businesses hoping to become compliant, demonstrating a history of established businesses practices or a...

Excellent! No-till has a lot of potential. We ran a fairly extensive experiment in our greenhouse this year with no-till. Six different strains were run - half in "normal" pots and half in no-till. On average, the no-till plants vegged slightly faster and yielded, on average, 10% more. Two...

Well, that I am not exactly sure about. It's a very complex set of bills and many of the specifics have yet to be worked out. From what has been happening here in Mendocino it is my understanding that these new state laws will essentially void all the old ordinances and regulations. The slate...

Absolutely. According to the new state regulations a tier 1 grow will allow up to 5,000 square feet of cultivation. Tier 2 allows up to 10,000 square feet. Tier 3 will be even larger, but there will be a cap on how many of those will be allowed in the state, so I get the impression those will...

Like it or not legalization and legitimization of medical cannabis will never occur without taxation and regulation. I don't really like the idea of having to pay a bunch of taxes and jumping through a bunch of bureaucratic hoops either, but if it means not tossing people in jail for growing a...

That is unfortunate, they will miss out on quite a bit of tax revenue and potential economic growth then.

Original article from the Willits news, by Kate Maxwell: More than 200 people packed the Willits Community Center on November 5 for an educational event hosted by the Small Farmers Association, which focused on “Laws, Regulations, and Legalization,” and the range of different requirements for...

Wow, sorry to hear this, what a mess. Hope you recover quickly.

Harmony is awesome, I love that place. I buy a lot of herbs and veggies from them every year.

A lot of it will probably come down to the local county ordinances, hopefully Mendocino won't drop the ball on this one. The support for these measures at the board of supervisors meeting in Ukiah was overwhelmingly positive, though of course there were many who voiced concerns about over...
