if they legalize it you wont be able to produce indoor anymore because it wont be worth it. everyone will grow outside.
if they legalize it you wont be able to produce indoor anymore because it wont be worth it. everyone will grow outside. the reason indoor is even as big as it is today is because its illegal to grow cannabis. once its legalized the indoor market will probably slowly disappear because the costs to produce will be much greater then what your income will be from the crop.
and for the beer comparison. thats crap. the best six pack on the shelf doesnt even cost 20 bucks, and the worst beer is about 4 bucks. even if you have the best dank in the world, no one is going to buy it for the prices we get now. and the prices we get now are crap compared to what we got just 3-5 years ago. when they legalize pot it the prices will fall dramatically.
look at alaska. a 5 dollar bottle of whiskey you can get 200-300 bucks for in some parts of alaska because its illegal and a dry county.
if your a real grower, legalization is the worst possible thing that could happen. it will mean the end of a large portion of us who cant produce massive quantities to be able to keep up and stay afloat.
even if your bud is the best, it wont matter. prices will fall dramatically because everyone will be doing it and big corporations will be producing it. not to mention the taxes they are implementing on it will be huge costs when pot has no value after legalization.
i know one fact. if they legalize, most of us will be out of a job. and that fact is one of the exact reasons why the government will consider letting this pass. along with the billions of tax dollars they will get from exploiting our once sacred plant, and having more ways to put people in jail for it.
for anyone that thinks that this bill is a good idea, you must not love and respect cannabis like i do and you definitely dont grow the plant to feed your family.
VOTE NO IN NOVEMBER. SAVE CANNABIS.
If they legalize, I think we need to say fuck the internet and meet up together to plan massive pollen drops into the greenhouse intake fans of MegaGroCo Inc. The nastiest, dirtiest ditchweed pollen that we can muster.
amazing, so folks are going to vote to keep putting people in jail for smoking or growing herb?

someone is killing it now, that most the competition is gone.Well more on this topic:

Sample of text: WITHIN the ranks of Bowen, a tight-knit community in north Queensland, fingers are pointed and rumours fly.
For a third time in eight years the town's farming industry, the epicentre of Australia's winter food bowl that supplies 80 per cent of the country's fresh produce, has been crippled by an act of skulduggery.
Herbicide injected into the water supply at a local nursery has poisoned 7 million plants, including 4 million tomato and 2 million capsicum seedlings.
More of the story:
"
POISONING seems to be the way some things get settled around the north Queensland fruit and vegetable farming community of Bowen.
Among the vast greenhouses and sprawling cultivations, it's a can of weedkiller that people seem to reach for instead of a rifle or a lawyer's phone number when there's a dispute or the competition for markets gets too intense.
The latest incident is no exception, if you believe the locals.
They are convinced the sneak attack on two farms, which wiped out a massive chunk of the region's tomato-growing capacity and cost the district $23.5 million in lost markets, was done by someone with an intimate knowledge of irrigation systems."
The picture says it all
Well, i dont want to get into a debate, but i just think it should be legal. I dont want govt telling me what i can or can not grow in my back yard. Whether i grow for a serious medical condition, or just because i like to relax with a spliff at night, what difference does it make? If i am totally healthy and like to grow and smoke pot i should go to jail?
I think they should make it that no one is allowed to produce more than 20 pounds or 50 pounds per year and that way keep it small farmers providing the herb. Just need to make sure there are not large corp pumping out crap herb and putting small quality boutique growers out of business.
I feel for folks who depend on weed being illegal to support themselves, but in the bigger scheme of things it is time for prohibition to end and for us to be free. What about joe shmoe? should he go to jail because he sent herb to another state? I dont want anyone telling me if i grow this plant and send it to you in another state i am going to jail.
We need to get weed legalized all of the world. In the usa we need to get the fed govt to do it, and if they wont then we gotta do it state by state. Cali folks should be really proud to be leading the charge!
Sorry for the rant... no offense meant to sway or others, i respect you guys and the entire med caregiver community, you guys (and girls) are awesome!
