This is why Colorado and California are and should be referred to as completely different animals with different rules, regulations, etc. This is also why I am so glad that I am in Colorado, that I don't have to worry about adopting the attitude of finding loopholes to grow without licensing and the penalties and risk that comes with it, like having craigslist as your only outlet for distribution.First, it's always been illegal to take it across state lines. Under Federal law marijuana is a class 1 narcotic, that means no medical uses. Unless it is grown under a Federally sanctioned program for scientific testing it's illegal. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool. Second, how could they possibly know how much is consumed or grown? You know the old saying, "To 'assume' makes an ass out of U and me."
They are right about one thing, Cali is going to try and regulate us and will be unsuccessful because the commercial regulations are ridiculously stupid and we will keep finding loopholes to continue growing without licensing.
I don't know who this Allen guy is but he's a moron. (This is by no means a judgement towards you Indicabush, for posting this article)

I've never read anything more than anecdotal evidence that Colorado has too much legal pot, simply due to our regulatory structure being so different. I would claim that Colorado's tracking system of seed to sale goes much further than anything on the books in California.
Isn't this volume of extra herb grown by private individuals who can then sell to dispensaries, clubs and patients?
i have never ever been unable to find weed in cali.in fact iv'e actually had people hand me grocery ags before. no fooling
To this I say, bullshit. California has roughly 20 million residents that are 18 and over. That's a rather large market. I'll let you know if we have any issues moving product come the end of fall/beginning or winter
Lol. Hate crimeProduction and distribution through our co-ops is unregulated and even the delivery services don't necessarily keep official records. They do far more trade than dispensaries. It is absolutely impossible to at this point to even guess production and sales.
This Allen guy does not represent us. He's one of those social justice wierdos who probably runs around apologizing for being a white male. I'm so sick of these uninformed, self appointed, self righteous idiots pretending they represent us when they only care about their own agendas. (This guy isn't helping the home schooling cause either)
I don't know what kind of animal we are becoming, but I don't like it so far. Especially if SJW freaks are trying to set the standards. Next thing you know pulling hermi plants will be a hate crime.
These posts remind me of the defiance that came before 1284 and 106 in Colorado. Cali, you think you all that.Looking like more tjab half of the weed crop went up in smoke with the fires. This happend before in 2009. With consumption heading to go up 600% because of the new state controlled market and the fact Cali supplies 70% of the us marked we are looking at a much larger shorage than we would have .I'm thinking we are looking at maybe having a suppy of 15% of demand. For thoughs not burned out or effected by smome damage this may contribute to pricing inseen before. Outdoor may ho up as much as the higher end indoor prices of 2009. It won't last into the next season though because we will rebound , but who knows how well
Would you care to cite your source for this? It sounds like hogwash. You might want to rethink using that statistic of California supplying that much herb, because it's bullshit. This is probably the source, but anti-MMJ legislation is probably not the best place to find statistics that sound cool to you.Yes California has been the main supply of cannibis for the nation for many years. Estaments of 70% are from the U S Government. Increases in expected consumtion of cannabis are estimates by the State of California and the California cannabis industry. 600% = 6x .
Pulling hermies will be a hate crime!!! LMAOProduction and distribution through our co-ops is unregulated and even the delivery services don't necessarily keep official records. They do far more trade than dispensaries. It is absolutely impossible to at this point to even guess production and sales.

That's a pretty perfect response from someone in California.Nope sure you have your apinion ,that's cool, no sourse can fully prodict the market so we will have to wait and see. The states that have legalized have all had increases of sales at first. I know of three despenceries that believe the prodictions and are stocking up for the event.
I didn't say anyone was a burnout, and you're smart enough to read and understand the thread, but I appreciate the typical california attitude.F^ck yah! Ya got us. We're all a bunch of burn outs who know nothing of what's going on from sampling our own sh*t.
...but really, we don't need to know statistics. The $$$ per lb tell us everything we need to know. I 'know' I can get $900+ per lb local wholesale (haven't checked since the fires). I know it was $1200- $1600 last year. I know that this same weed goes for over $3k in North Carolina. I also know that the NC prices were not effected by CO legalisation. California grows so much that legalisation of half the US, in one form or another, did not significantly effect our export prices. Plus, we've had to grow a LOT more just to keep up with the demand. Humboldt is well known for it's quality, but contrary to popular belief, they are not the biggest grower in Cali. My county grows more than the whole Emerald Triangle put together. Over 50,000 people in my local area of it, and a third of them are growing. I don't need statistics, all I have to do is drive anywhere in town and see the trees (pot) showing over backyard fences. I used to grow Acers so I can tell the difference between a Japanese Maple and a Marijuana tree. We have like 6 warehouse hydro/grow supplies in town and only one Kmart (and it even sells grow supplies. I got my bins, alcohol, gloves, mason jars, and trimming scissors from center isle displays with big a$$ signs that said "Growers Center". I call them Growmart during the fall.) Every hardware store, garden supply, and variety store sells pollen sifters and high end Nutes. CO going legal was a blip on the radar, it didn't even effect our prices. Do we have an ego? Yes. Is it justified? YES.
I'm not downplaying CO. Our country needed you to go legal because we generally bypass your neighbors for the better East coast prices. The middle of the country has been suffering way too long. You were a badly needed resource.
