I buy my soil from Golden Valley.

I usually recycle my own each season...

The ones that run a legal farm don't place that risk on their workers.

What you are doing is highly unethical and illegal. I'd explain it to you, with supporting legal authority . . . but it would be lost on you.

This pisses me off.

everyone on the farm is working for themselves. there are risks to being self employed

this is a pot growing site, 1/2 of the guys on here are growing illegally. I'm a job creator, ask the crew if it's a scam.

You're an illegal grower taking advantage of unsophisticated individuals. That's why you are breaking a ton of labor laws and unethical.

Not being combative but how’s it a scam if they know exactly what they sign up for?

they are just friends that choose to help with labor on the farm for a piece of the harvest..

Would you ask that same question regarding highly skilled Mexican lettuce pickers?

It's a scam because the legislature says it is. Don't like the labor laws, change them.

You have cool friends.

Both.....my workers turned out to be bad eggs and I had to ask them to leave & they went off & i had to call sheriff. Pulled plants first. Still early in the season, i will replant soon.

I take it nobody who worked up until that point got paid.

Hairdressers and nail techs are also independent contractors.

nope nobody got paid....I do have a restraining order against them though

You know what they say about opinions.

If labor laws designed to protect people from unethical employers are opinions, then yes. The Supreme Court has an opinion or two on the matter as well.

Any supporting legal authority for that opinion?

Ok. If it’s a labor law, I’ll take that. Someone’s nationality and what they chose to do is their business, not mine. Makes no difference to me.
