them's fighting words.
as jay-z puts its, Whoever said illegal was the easy way out couldn't understand the mechanics / And the workings of the underworld, granted / Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot
even better... thank you howak47... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KiGKzKxkY4
yea for sure faded is one of the premier outdoor growers here...yhea, appreciate that mr matt. already peeped fdd's awesomeness when you mentioned selling- shits hot. looks like the doof has found a new home. cant believe how amazing this site is... sure, assholes are everywhere, but it actually feels like a community as opposed to a totalitarian society governed by desired greed.
lol at your list of priorities- the girls, eating, ninja training 101, fucking, more eating, then closely followed by dr phil while i masturbate profusely.
looking forward to sharing some experiements and comparisons i have in store, along with aquiring as much new knowledge as possible from people better than i. good stuff!
sent him a friend request, got my fingers crossed
it's funny how the laws are here. we can grow it. but its illegal to sell it. even dispensaries are not legit, and that actually leaves a nice paper trail to you. if you don't believe it think about what just went down in san jose. the good ones like harborside had to pull out because they are going after dispensary vendors using confiscated info. pretty fucked. makes the whole dispensing/vendor thing even harder, which hits the commercial side of MMj. This takes money from political contributions ect. It's still a war on drugs, and MMj is included in that as the war is federal, and cannabis is still a damn schedule 1 drug with no medical value.
Matt, What's the scoop on the proposed warehouses of Oakland? They "dropped" them? Do you know what happened? If this is true, I'm breathing a sigh of relief. That whole deal was looking like the first step to squeezing us out of the legal picture.
I'm trying to get on your level as soon as the wife gets in to nursing school. I rather work part time or no time. Growing and learning is my passion but working 9-5 doesn't let me.
The fed came out and told oakland not to do it. Pretty clear message. They listened. Honestly, I think Oakland put the cart before the horse on that one. They thought 19 would pass and they would be ahead of the other commercial interests. Instead... just confusion. Agreed. Eff commercial cannabis production, we have plenty to go around already.
had to risk leaving my chef job to take the dispensary job for way less pay. being single means I get to do shit like that.
I freaked out on the dispensary for promoting me three times without a pay raise, quit, and instantly got a job teaching for oaksterdam. not the average tale.
100% PROFIT MY ASS! You must not grow. I can bring in 4200 an elbow but each elbow cost me up to 1000 dollars to grow. Thats more like %75 profit, but the little guys come back and show me how they double that and bring in over 7k each. Thats a lot of 20 and 40 bags.
you really most not grow. pounds cost money to make and trim. time is money. there is only one outdoor harvest a year*, everything revolves around that. holding pounds is a good strategy for folks who aren't broke asses.
Its the truth!
Growing is my job...a tax paying job, to boot. My co op sends me an IRS 1099 form every year for the amount I was compensated to manage the garden. I pay taxes on that amount, Remember how they got Capone?
Hate to beat a dead horse, but this horse needs another whack. My brothers have already mentioned the yearly production costs. Here's some costs I incurred while outdoor growing:
