If the rec law passes there granting small businesses 150 plant licensesThis sounds to me like giving up before the fight has even started. Sure, the cards are stacked against us, but I don't think we've lost yet.
The largest grow proposal I've heard of around here is Thera-cann's pitch involving 20 licensed growers under their roof, 100 employees, a $20M project. I think good hard-working growers can likely compete with that facility on both price and quality, unless Thera-Cann is planning a very low return on their investment.
I own and operate another small business also. It's not tiny, not huge, grossing somewhere in the 6 figure range. We compete with nationwide brands that dominate our local landscape, Companies 10,000 times our size taking up 80% of the business. Still, we do well, with the business profitable and growing every year. It may be surprising, but plenty of people intentionally frequent non-franchise owner-operated businesses. Many people we meet do this out of just the anti-big-business attitudes you guys righteously display. The Internet and online reviews have leveled the playing field, so these customers can find us even with our non-existent advertising budget. This smells like opportunity to me.
The biggest things that worry me are:
Yeah, some of those are distinct possibilities....
- Evil politicians kill the whole above-ground industry
- Outdoor grows overwhelm the market
- Prices for quality bud fall below $1000/pound, or below maybe $15/g for extracts
- The State of Michigan does something stupid developing the regulations
It's a possibility. Not concrete and what your not understanding is these huge ops won't tarnish our market for atleast 18 months. You think these are gonna go up with no hiccups and be producing quality meds for dirt cheap in 6 months?? Colorado took 3 years to effect that home growers and they've had collectives for a long ass time3 of my warehouse guys have now sold their operations. With the "New rec legal" bullshit! Going around, their getting out now before the market takes a dive to the shitter. Be prepared to have home grows become illegal, and big biz take over.
DOW plant is going to be turned into a MAJOR I door grow up. Already in the works and building is paid for.
I also do this for a living. Have been for some time now. I've done this before medical when growers were underground. So if that's what it takes then I'm good either way.I do this for a living. 18 months until I get put out of business by shit garbage product and big biz.

I have more than just flowering under my belt. Processing distillate (in the very near future), processing harvests for growers , cloning, making meds, etc.
I watched a episode of of that show on vice where they boot legal grows and dispensary doors in and just take all your assets .....including homes cars kids toys literally everything.....has the situation improved any?
