So we are finally admitting this is all for cash and not for the love of the plant. Gotcha. I mean I figured this given the proprietor. Show me any mine owner and I will show you a greedy scumbag who is poisoning this earth. The owner and founder of jimmy johns is also a known scumbag who loves shooting nearly extinct animals.
Smoking your own gear is certainly not a requirement but in my opinion it’s like eating food from a chef who doesn’t care to taste his work. Selfing a bunch of other people’s work also isn’t how I would go about starting off either. To each his own I guess. But this is just a cash grab off of other’s work. They have a saying for that.
“You stand on the shoulders of giants and call yourself tall.”
Well, standing on the shoulders of something of great height WOULD make you tall. Literally.
Also, he said he smokes it but it’s for his wife. That’s fine, I grow for my wife too and use her opinion to choose what goes or stays because it was never for me.
I just think it’s funny that you think you can own a plant like you’ve got lobbyists like Monsanto or something changing laws so you can “protect your IP”. It’s not yours and it never will be, you’re just borrowing it for now. Now, if you did some gene editing then you could patent those genes or methods but not the naturally occurring genes in the plant.
I really don’t even understand why “the scene” is getting so upset that someone decided they were going to start selling other peoples shit. Breeders are majorly fucking price gouging small time growers. I don’t care about the story of your genetics, I care about the medicinal effects. If you’re going to charge me $300 for medicine but I can get the same thing for $30 what do you think I’m gonna do. The same thing you would. Get the best for the cheapest you can find just like everyone else too.
Just because they were working the shit while it was illegal still doesn’t make it more valuable TO ME. I’m legal. I’m glad they were putting in the work but be realistic. Literally anyone (I guess if you were a complete mouthbreather you couldn’t) can follow a guide and select plants for breeding, but not everyone has the space.
So I’m paying a premium for your time and space, which is not worth $300 to me, because I know how much effort it takes to grow. It’s not even worth $100 to me because I know how many seeds you can get out of one plant. Literally printing money.
I’m so tired of this argument. People will always choose the best that they can get for the cheapest. Always.
I bet you have tons of stuff made in China in your house, but you didn’t stop to think about how you were giving money to China instead of just being happy that you got decent quality inexpensive goods.
I don’t care what happens, but his thread is entertaining.
