Just get the fuck off my thread. I'm sick of reading the ignorance. Thank you for never responding to any of my posts ever again. And have a nice day.

I hope so. This guy can't be serious!oh shit, I just noticed it signed up saturday and already started this shitty thread, do you think we're being trolled by a sock puppet
Woah I went to bed and this shit blew up!I disagree with this analysis and common sense shows it to be somewhat of a ridiculous comparison. Take a look out your window. If you live in the woods somewhere, then disregard, but I live at the beach and the homes are stacked in like shoeboxes around here. I just took a glance out my window. I see anywhere in the neighborhood of roughly a couple hundred people dwelling in their homes. Im willing to wager that almost all of them eat tomatoes. Raw tomatoes. Pizza sauce. Salsa. Ketchup. Indeed, these individuals are grubbing down tomatoes like its 1999. And not just tomatoes. All sorts of other vegetables. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, and all those snacks in between. This consumption requires massive operations like the one you have attached as an image.
While looking down the same street, I imagine that maybe 20% of them actually smoke cannabis. Out of that number, maybe 15% are daily smokers. Out of that number maybe 5% are full fledged rabid stoners. This comparison is bogus because consumption habits are entirely different, and there are even sub categories within cannabis consumption.
Im not doubting that there will be a surge in massive greenhouses filled with Cannabis in the very near future. To say that this surplus will have an effect on the market to the point of an elevator drop in market prices(especially down to $50 a pound or whatever ridiculous claim the OP made) is a stretch to say the least. While I understand the ideology of supply and demand as it relates to economics, its much more complicated in regard to Cannabis.There are other variables within this world to consider that are unique compared with other markets.There already is a surplus. Prices have gone up! Theyll spike even higher with full fledged legalization due to taxation.
By the way, I welcome this discussion from an actual grower familiar with this trade. The OP of this thread simply isnt and wasnt qualified to even weigh in on this topic, much less spearhead a thread about it. Its the equivalent of me waltzing into a physics forum and debating that crowd on dark matter and string theory. And yet, here we are.
Yeah man but this discussion was actually opened for legit legal growers who are producing legally and legit in those areas. I just honestly don't think anyone is here that like that or has the experience or education to understand trends. Years ago I did a lot of research on the subject, specifically the effects of legalization and the problems with prohibition of MJ for a final essay in college. Not ironically, much of what is transpiring I had the foresight to see.Woah I went to bed and this shit blew up!
You're putting words in my mouth. No need to call anybody names, these discussions are great. No doubt this thread would get heated-it's a pot growers forum- no one wants to hear anything negative especially when it's about the future of their hobby/business. I posted a picture of a tomato greenhouse as an example of big grow operations and you started quoting numbers and percentages out of nowhere. I never said tomatoes and mj were the same, just that we'll see similar circumstances occur in the next 50 years as with the rest of agriculture in this nation. I don't at all think that $50 ounces will be had, but I do think that one doesn't want to be the farmer when big business bites. Look around at farmers today, not a pretty sight. They're owned by the govt basically and don't make shit- unless they battle hard to keep their product separate from the huge scumbags. Once this hits full legalization it will be a lot different than we all know it as now. It hopefully won't be like I think, but why wouldn't big business want a piece of the pie? Again- not saying that Green Giant canned veggies = organic farm fresh ones, but people will buy it.
It's of course fully speculation on both sides, but I would want to be part of those working on turning MJ into consumable pill form, because those guys are the ones who will feed the medical industry. Pharmaceutical applications will make people rich, not the small time farmer. The ones growing to sell it for smoke I think will have a tough time competing with the shithead WeedMart or whoever gets created, especially when medical results from tests come out about how pot smoking is bad for the lungs and all that shit, which is sure to happen.
I AM saying that if you live in the US and are somehow acting like huge corporate greed and mechanization of the industry won't happen then ill have to politely disagree.
Food: Kraft. Nestlé, Mars
Consumerism: Walmart
Banks: BofA, Chase, WellsFargo
Agriculture: Cargill
Ranching: Kargil
Beer: Anheiser Busch, Coors
Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing that we'll be able to get $2 ounces or something, but big business is salivating right now over this industry. History shows that in this country things start small and there may be 1000 farmers, but eventually they'll be 20 who have bought out all the others.
I think the OP has a point and it's worth discussing, not face fucking him over it. He's got balls for sure and of course he's going to get attacked because we're on a growers forum.
Peace ya'll.
You know in a sense your right there will always be room in the market for the 2 buck chucks! I drink it once and a while and do get a buzz but it taste like shit!!Stupidest total fail post ever.
