This country loves money it didn’t earn that’s for sure. If not for taxes no form of marijuana would be legal.Thats Truth right there... All the new laws have done is make it to where the little guy gets fucked and the deep pockets get deeper...
I agree 100%, that the more people having access to "Gods Medicine" the better. I live in one of the first states to go recreational though. The first line of the initiative to legalize recreationally might as well have read 1. F**k over the little guy. It took a couple years to really go to shit but it did. I underestimated rock bottom for sure, thinking it could never go lower than 1k per. Right now I'm happy to get 800 for FIRE. If you have problems or get poor results from a new strain and it's doesn't look diamond frosty or smell as strong as a dead skunks butthole- 300. Without sugar coating it, my advice is figure out a plan B before the next recession hits.My state recently legalized MMJ and while I am happy for the progress and as I should be, ecstatic about it, I can't help but wonder what will become of the small time basement farmers who depend on their grow to maintain the income they need to support their families. In my state the laws are written to benefit only those with deep enough pockets to put up HUGE application fees and capitol to support the start up cost of expensive facilities for farming, processing and dispensing. Caregivers will be allowed to grow for specific patients but not to unload extras to the dispensaries like they are in other states. How will they survive? How can the small guy keep his lively hood in tacked amidst the changing tides? Right now things seem very uncertain and I am not sure where it is all leading but I am trying to keep the hope that it is all going to come together in the end...
I feel your pain. I went to school in KC and worked there for almost 10 years and moved up here for the weather and the MJ. Ideally I wanted to have an op setup so I would've been able to collaborate with friends by the time it was legal there. I couldn't get enough capital build anything beyond experimental stages as I was just doing it all myself. Even seeing what it has become up here you have to have some real money just to get a house/land and finding people that are willing to work with you that you can trust is slim to none. Even so working for someone else is a joke because they either don't pay you shit or you have to have a certification or degree in genetics/cultivation, so I'm still just doing closet grows trying to get experience and doing the grind until something comes along. Is it just medical in KC, MO?Thats Truth right there... All the new laws have done is make it to where the little guy gets fucked and the deep pockets get deeper...
:cry: Canada is so far behind in the weed game yet they blindly pretend they are inventing the wheel. Some of the articles I have read are just ludicrous!Y’all should see how Canada is doing it. At least y’all got some years. They are giving massive crooked companies long headstarts before approving any micro cultivators. Product costs twice as much though legal stores as black market. Idiots man. Buying shakers to get the seeds out of massive garbage crops, while good small batch guys are sitting on their thumbs or breaking the law.
Ya man. Bunch of morons that know nothing and want to shun the culture that made cannabis available to every whining bastard that judges folks that made it legal. Well if it’s a high cbd strain in ok with it. Thc is evil tho.. sips tea in perfectly clean half million dollar condo. “Be careful of those “street” genetics.. lmao. Oh did Justin Trudeau breed that kush?:cry: Canada is so far behind in the weed game yet they blindly pretend they are inventing the wheel. Some of the articles I have read are just ludicrous!
Edit * oh did Justin Trudeau breed that kush.. BITCH!?Ya man.

Huh??? what's going on? I would figure just about every country or culture has some master growers somewhere. I think we can all agree that governments in general are not perfect and full of greedy people just as much as the streets are.Edit * oh did Justin Trudeau breed that kush.. BITCH!?
Imo there’s always a market for good growers who produce good product.
I know a guy who is driving across the state 2 hours to get bud from a small craft grower when he can get it cheaper where he lives. He lives in a major city and knows several commercial growers and yet chooses to make the drive every couple weeks to stock up on better stuff that costs more money. And it’s not even for flavor of the month strains either, it’s for tried and true classics grown organically in soil.
There is a difference and some smokers will gladly pay a premium to have it. It’ll take time but eventually when the new car smell of legalization is gone the real growers will rise to the top.
I do hope you are right. It’s just ‘inconvenient’ that small craft growers can’t even legally make a little bank before the big guys have driven down the price. I’m bitching and moaning about the legislation, but hopefully the dumb bastards will surprise us all and open er up for the folks who care about quality, and and want to do what they love legally. They are just dragging their asses atm it seems. But whatever. It is more important that the people can legally grow 4 plants. I don’t really see why anyone keeping it within reason should even follow the plant count rule anyways. We all know you can get more off 4 plants than 10 if you get crazy with it.Imo there’s always a market for good growers who produce good product.

Not saying at all that is Canadians are better growers at all. It’s always annoyed me when the west coast bastards assume nobody anywhere else in Canada knows how to get good seeds and grow em out right lol. Good smoke can be grown anywhere.
