Man I know you power grow high end stuff, what’s the story where you are? Able to make a good living?Sloppy boring business. Remember when seed company’s had like 5 strains they worked and were famous for? Now these company’s have hundreds of diluted regurgitated bullshit with whatever the next hype train is. Over and over and over again. None bother working lines just fem out the runtz pancakes or whatever is to come next. Biggest problem is looks have out effect in the back seat.
I like to keep thinking outside the box. Obviously I wouldnt want to stay a small time grower if I got my foot in the door. With all aspects, if you cant beat them, join them. No reason to go broke because idiots up top are greedy. Obv is they are buying the weeds from me they need me more than I need them. As for getting off the ground fast, I feel if others put in the work, they could too. I guess in the end, there wont be room for small time growers ill agree.Fish actions are the best place to buy fish.
But just like weed strains,once let out they spread like wild fire and the prices nose dive.
In town it’s very very difficult. If you don’t have people coming to pick up from out of state your not in business anymore.Man I know you power grow high end stuff, what’s the story where you are? Able to make a good living?
Marketing aint no joke. Guaranteed if we spend just as much money on our marketing campaign as our grow operations that it would be worth it. People dont care, they do what they are told lol. Give them 20 shitty choices and they gladly pick one. Look at these new crypto campaigns, look at the medical marketing shit, hell our damn politicians tell us what we need lol. . and we just go yea yea yea. . we do. Its nothing more than doing what your told.In town it’s very very difficult. If you don’t have people coming to pick up from out of state your not in business anymore.
All you guys who have your ounce customer base will watch it dwindle once rec passes. Something about going into shops and pretty packaging makes people happy. Even if your weed is better they would rather go look through what the shops have.
We are far better off now than we were before in MIssouri. I speak to the hole though, as to everyone I know who smokes lol. So much money was going to illinois for weed. Now its all here still, well at least in jobs and quality of product. The prices drop and I see no risk of prison or jail. I guess because I havent made bank selling it illegally I dont feel those changes. I see everyone on here feeling them though lol. . mb guys. I apologize for supporting legalization lol. I was always too big of a puss to grow and risk it all. I only started growing because it became legal. So if im designing hydro systems and growing trees for some big company 3 years from now it was worth it. Had they never went legal to begin i would be at step 0 right now. So to me legalization has done nothing but benefit me.I've seen and lived this from several angles in my life. I was busted for cultivation and distribution in the mid 1980's here in Okiehoma. Was looking at a 40 year to life sentence and beat them at there own games because I had public support and enough money to pay for lawyers that played golf and softball with the judge and da and the money to pay all the insane fines they made up as they went along. Was a oil producer back in those days so I was flush with cash at the time. The guy they busted after me had one plant, no money or resources. He got 20 years in the pen. Lost his home, wife, kid,,,, everything. Now it has went nuts the other direction. And there are still laws and rules to be followed and penalty's in some cases worse than every before depending on the mess one gets themselves into. Rec has got through the state senate and judicial review. Now it has to go through petition to be put on the ballot. Then voted on by the people and if passed then state congress to be screwed with even more then the gov. signature. With many of us not going to sign the petition or vote yes on rec because of the insanity medical has caused.
Lol i bet I do tooSorry if I am being a Debbie downer. I run a largish company so I’m sure I look at things completely differently than you. I’m sure you will find a way to prosper if there is one.
I didn’t start till legal either.We are far better off now than we were before in MIssouri. I speak to the hole though, as to everyone I know who smokes lol. So much money was going to illinois for weed. Now its all here still, well at least in jobs and quality of product. The prices drop and I see no risk of prison or jail.

Similar to the Trader Joe's grocery store model: what they sell tastes great and sells for much less than you think possible. Their everything bagel shaker is a category killer -- no better options anywhere. Why not combine all the ingredients in 1 applicator?The price fell out the bottom of the bag here in NY.
Going for $100 an ounce to the right people here. Was $250 an ounce and straight 1k for Qp...
Lb. was just procured for $800, pure fire !
Poor guys who thought they would make money !
THCA is going for $300 an ounce through a money making middle man ! It takes an ounce to make 3 grams ...
My experience in jumping into the competitive market is you need to offer higher quality for less $ to become recognized .This could take well over a year of sales and proper marketing .
Once the public knows who you are you can work on recouping the ' investment and time' .
I did this with tropical fish ,and became one the most sought out breeders of a particular fish .
The whole system is a joke. Imagine if the plant was free to do what we want with it. Boutique growers selling seeds at the farmers market, easy startups for small business who want to share their findings with the world.
All this regulation is not needed for a plant that doesn’t harm anyone. They regulate instead of legalize to fatten pockets nothing more nothing less.
In 20-30 years when there is only a hand full of owners and ounces go for pennys that’s when they will say you can do what you want with the plant.
For me I’ve never and will never obey silly laws and regulations within this plant. I’ve never hurt anyone growing this plant or making a living off of it.
Don’t waste my time, I am older. Next time just tell us how ya REALLY feel!Oh by the way, thanks Oklahoma for fucking the entire country on the black market!!
I got a big middle finger for them fucking bastards.
Dispensary’s here pay $2500-$3000 a pound to the industrial grows (shit weed)
Black market here $800-$1500 a pound
All the result of legalization in Oklahoma
Thanks
And fuck ya:)
Me and the wife are joining you:)The debate will rage on. In the meantime the wife and I will set our happy asses on the front porch with our iPads. Big Head Todd and the Monsters playing, good coffee and weed. Doing our thing…
Already here in Florida medical and the seed to sale thing sux for everyone including the end user ! Just promotes greed and shitty productAhh silly growers, even if they let you sell to dispensary’s in the beginning to get things rooling they will boot your asses right out once things are settled in. Seed to sale tracking will be implemented and only licensed facilities will be able to sell products. Moratoriums will pop up everywhere and the big company’s will buy up the license.
Home growers will not benefit from rec one bit. Like mentioned above the only people that will enjoy is the Walmart weed customers lol.
Anyway I highly doubt rec passes in Mo. anyway.
