At this point it's a lot harder to get into the legal side of the business. The market in Colorado has gone way down, as well. County and city municipalities have made growing harder. In El Paso county, CO for example, you cannot grow more than 12 plants even if you have a license to grow 75, unless you live on agricultural-zoned land. I've heard Denver you can only grow 4 plants.

Basically there's a lot more red tape than there was a couple years ago and with legalization it's a lot harder to make money in a legal operation. When dispensaries are selling 50 dollar ounces it makes it a lot less profitable to grow out here now. Most people having to resort to black market sales, shipping their flower out of state and getting busted by the DEA in return.

Unfortunately I have sold my soul to pharma. Well, sort of. When federal happens I’ll be well situated for that green rush (no matter where the hell I end up).

By all means, if anyone in the canna industry out here knows of something lucrative/intermediate-level for a chemist to step into I am all ears, but for the most part I know what’s available to me there.

It’s not zero but it is sparing. My cards are, as ever, mostly close to my chest on this one.



I’m in Aurora :)

By the way they are building a marijuana testing facility in Pueblo and looking for 150 employees, so you may want to check that out if you have a background in chemistry

I finally made it out of the Midwest! Hoping to settle into something lucrative out here before long—but for now I’m just enjoying being out of the temperate zone.

I wonder, how many of the old guard are still out this way?

I'm not sure what they pay. I guess there are actually 2 companies moving into Pueblo, one called Nordic Analytical that is from Denver, the other one hasn't been announced yet.



They did say on the news the other day they expect to bring in 150-300 new jobs. I would imagine it's not a minimum wage type job so maybe worth checking out.
