Am I the only one that doesn't want weed to become legal?

[MrMcFreely]

It will but prices for black market weed will never be as it is in an illegal market. Cali is proof. We get cali medicinal grade stuff through the mail over this way and pay less than two grand a pound.

Markets get flooded and the commodity factor again strikes.

I can handle the market where it's at here in Cali. I still make bank selling my high grade outdoor for $1500. It's not just legalization that controls prices location is a big factor. Sure you can grow indoor anywhere but you could keep the entire country high with the amount of outdoor that comes from cali and the West Coast. Not much outdoor going on in the rest of the country so no matter what it will always cost more on the east coast than the west.

I'd be more than happy to pay hefty taxes to be able to run my side business legally, and sell exclusively to the dispensaries. It would be so easy to double our income, and sure would be nice to be able to sleep again while doing it! Hell, I think the medical marijuana laws here make the whole thing so much more complicated and fluid that it doesn't help anyway.

my guess is you are a younger dude that hasn't tried to run a legit business yet.It's really hard to have a legit business survive nowadays.Payroll taxes,IRS,and gov't in general.The days of the small business person are over.This is even before O-care
Nowadays a company around here does about 250,000 a year to put 45/50 grand in the pocket

You're talking to someone that wants crack, heroin, bath salts, lsd, meth and anything else readily available for everyone and their kids in the supermarket.

I never said that. You are a liar.

Too bad that here in co you have to be a MMC to sell to a MMC. Also 70/30 applies.

One more thing, I don't know what USPS Cali outdoor is, I imagine its someone's outdoor Ca grown buds that they are stupid enough to mail out of state, but if you think Cali outdoor bud isn't very good, you're extremely mistaken. I could show you buds from several outdoor growers that I guarantee you could not tell if it was indoor or outdoor. You strike me as being somewhat new and a bit unexperienced to this whole scene. You really should pay more attention to what you post. But who am I to tell anyone anything. Ha!

Nah man. I'm not talking about all Cali outdoor... It's just a local term for outdoor buds that are shaved of there trichomes, vacuum packed and come in the mail from Cali, cheap.

I know you folks in California can grow some good outdoor.

Ive had my own business for over 10 years, just shut one down 2 years ago and i still hate people.

 

[bendoverbilly]

yeah you should probably think about someone other than yourself for this topic..your reasoning is just plain selfish to be honest with you.

Actually I agree with pacificarage. I don't see it as selfish at all. I see it as a financial issue. And just to clear the air marijuana is still illegal in all 50 states in the eyes of the feds. They can walk in and shut down and arrest anyone in any state at any time for possesion and/or distribution. The state by state laws are all bullshit. Until it is legal on the federal level you run the risk of scrubbing skid marks out of bubbas underwear in the prison laundry.

They have machines for that.

So you'd like to see people keep getting jailed for it, harassed, and profiting the black market and cartels so you can keep your profits from your little grow? Does that about sum it up? Just simple greed?

OK. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but that's what it sounds like.

If ur not greedy. OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES

 

[silasraven]

also if jack didnt no, there are lot of people who fight like hell for real jobs but at the end of the day support their family due to pot being illigal, it keeps the price at a fair range and keeps business men out with their banks and their own ideas of greed. but this dude says it better.
