What I don't understand, but maybe somebody can explain, is how weed was even remotely affordable back then, with the insane penalties attached to growing it.
Funny man. My dad is a lot like him. Kinda looks like him and acts like him too. Every year he would make us put a shit ton of lights on our house. We had boxes in the garage and would have to go through them and check them all first. It was just like the movie with me helping him put lights on.
Where in NM? I’ve considered moving back since they finally went legal.
you all really think they are monitoring individuals electrical use, but you're then posting on these forums thats pretty funny. Also they cant even prevent mass shooting events sooo I am pretty sure they are NOT monitoring anyones electrical use... also.. if they are.. heat lamps for chickens and animals and farms must really drive them nuts! Damn it I thought we caught another one of those wacky tabbacky growers! lolz
Well back then large clandestine operations, mostly in Mexico, ran the market. I wasn't old enough for firsthand, but it seems to me the rarity factor drove people to grow more than the money. As Yelawolf once said, "We ain't gettin rich, bitch. We're getting over. All for the love of, Marijuana."
Only recently a large operation was uncovered in the UK, during a crackdown on growers.
Not quite the nineties, but when I first started growing in 03 prices were 400 a zip straight thru, so 6400 a lb. The only other thing around was beasters for 300(retail) and mids. There were a few guys that when I was out would order supposedly from Amsterdam and they were paying 500 an ounce.
Lol Santa gets you socks and draws in my house.. give pops the love for the good shit kids
In the UK the basic penalty for cultivation can be up to 14 years. That said, my mate got caught growing a huge amount and as they couldn't prove he was supplying it to others he got 1 years probation and had to pay the court costs.
The UK still does have some of the retributive penal system that was exported to the US and Canada back then.
Yeah, I guess that's the most important aspect. If you grow, then leave no evidence in any form that you intend to distribute, or actually have distributed. No scales, no packaging, no customer lists, no stash of weed, no large sums of cash money etc.
In EU today you pay around €10/g (that's around $325/oz), and there is more expensive weed. In Amsterdam you can get cheap stuff for maybe half that, but in many cases it's more expensive, it goes up to €80+/g for some exotic AAAA premium weed.
That’s why I moved from my original state to another one, I got tired of being fearful of a 2-10 prison sentence. Here in Mi it’s a misdemeanor up to 200 plants. And until they change it we can legally possess 72 under the medical caregiver law.
not everybody has loose lips. I grew in a non legal state for the better part of a decade and my wife is the only human being that knew about it. I really don't understand the brand of stupidity required to brag about the very illegal shit you're doing in your house. That being said, I never ran more than 2400 watts of lights at the same time.
