Those "SOME" people will be the ones with lower quality and common strains
...and less dedication.

It's funny because you always seem to look for the worst case scenario. When in fact the colorado model actually makes it harder for big buisness to come in and immediately kick the little guys out. Ya I highly doubt that someone with 2 or 3 lights will be able to compete in this kinda market. But the medical shops that already have a a reputation will have no issues unloading all of their product. And a year later who's going to want to compete with them? So yes times they are a changing but the mom and pops shops that evolve with this thing will be just fine. And the idiots will get put out of business. Again we still arrest 750,000 people a year for possesion. Until that changes we are from an open or free market.Good strains and excellent growing skills/quality are too far spread to fit into a niche market still. There is GOING to be a downsizing if this type of market economy takes over and it will effect at least one person on this board, and in my best estimation I'd have to guess that it will effect more than a few. That's just a fact, take it or leave it.

So then how long do you give it?
Is Hilary Clinton pro mmj

I have no way of knowing that.
My gut tells me less than 10 years--my brain tells me less than 25. Our country moves slow and has bigger things to worry about right now like how we should govern ourselves (the way we're doing it is broken).
?Latitude?cig companies own thousands of acres in the same longitude as Kush mountains hmmm.
?Latitude?
Hmmm is right, like always they got half of it right.
The one thing I know (firsthand experience) about big tobacco, is they have more money than God (the Catholic Church), but no sense among any of them, Groupthink at it's finest.
Plus, it will take them years to adapt to full scale after (IF) Federal DE-SCHEDULING without hiring a small army of veteran growers.
Maybe go easy on the amber before posting? You thoughts got pretty jumbled after the first few sentences. Try putting a separate thought in each paragraph. Makes it easier to read.
Big tobacco laughs at a millionaire investor, they have billions...And they are already lined up in the AGriculture field which is where Cannabis will be. They have more money and lobbyists than any other millionaire, I'd think Big Tobacco is poised for the legalization much more so than ANYONE else, imho. They already own thousands of acres in Mendo & Humboldt, you don't think they thought this through and know the marketing..hence property in the triangle versus the central valley....lmaoOnce thought of as a medicinal plant..tobacco in and of itself is a global trade asset and economic strength. Worldwide and in the US, all tobacco products are produced by farmer's..then the "Industry" takes the product and transforms it into something marketable. So they have to buy tobacco from the farmer's first then a long list of supplies to to transform it into a rolled cig (including sprayed additives).
Here's RJ Reynolds prerequisites for suppliers:
If you know "tobacco road" and states such as NC..all those quality Colleges are held up through the tobacco industry..it's a back-bone industry. I see how CO wants tax dollars for school money..that's usually how we place sin tax. Can you imagine what processed MJ would be like if the "industry" were to market it...lol. I could see them taking leaves from fields of plants..as not to gum up the rollers...spray them with additives for flavor and potency...yuck!
- Auditable financial strength;
- Proven capacity to meet contractual obligations;
- Guaranteed capability for full and continuous supply;
- Assurance that requirements will be met through implemented, auditable quality plans; and,
- Reputable track record in supplier’s area of expertise.
So our strength is in raw flowers..quality and organic..not processed. BUT, I bet there are lots of big money investors trying to figure out their place in the MJ industry right now..but it is a conundrum...and not an easy one to crack. I think "big tobacco" is less a worry than some shadowy millionaire investors cornering the greenhouse/warehouse industries as we move forward. Ones that will likely shape how the laws get written and re-written.
couple years tops...So then how long do you give it?
medical shops won't matter when the federal law changes, the big tobacco knows they need to kick the medicalness to the curb and open up the game for all that can buy it and stop giving money to those doctors every year. That annual doctor money should go to the tobacco giants, duh!It's funny because you always seem to look for the worst case scenario.

Where do you see it going? It has hit a bigger presence nowadays and has been on the move and can't continue with the status quo of mmj, imoThey've been trying since Carter..it does make sense for them industry wise. I just don't see it going from schedule 1 to sold as tobacco in 2 years...and I don't see it being medical quality once it does either. So I feel it safe to recognize what does happen meanwhile.
I totally agree--but as of right now there are too many growers to fit into the concept of the word "niche".
My suggestion is that SOME people are going to be put out of business by this and should plan accordingly--not that ALL of them will be shut down.

There will def still be a top spot in black market for top shelf tho..always is.
