The best thing for a small grower to continue making a profit would be heavy taxation. People will always buy non-taxed black market weed if the quality and price are better than the "legal kind".

I don't know what youre trying to say. Do you mean uniformity is equivalent to quality?
This! I absolutely don't get it when people who currently sell on the black market are afraid of new regulations. Why not continue selling illegally?

You are absolutely right, I forgot to mention that. I was thinking about posting for a boycott on the despensaries but I'm not in the mood or all the flamers right now.

There are two sides to every transaction, the buyer and the seller, i.e. demand and supply. If cannabis gets legalized the supply will increase, demand will probably increase as well but not as much as supply. Regular consumers will grow their own if they have a bit of backyard to spare. Price will decline. There probably will still be a "gourmet market" where a few fools will pay $20 per gram just for the bragging rights, but your average cannabis user is going to buy good quality weed (it is a weed, you know) for a lot less. The government seems intent on supporting the black market, witness Washington state, so, as always, prohibition will distort the market. The government's meddling is really your only hope, Buck. If cannabis were truly legalized, similar to tomatoes, you would need to find a job.
Any dufus can grow enough weed in their backyard to satisfy their own cannabis desires, even you, Buck. You claiming that your magical marijuana will sell itself and you will be able to make a handsome living by producing 30 pounds of weed every year just gets my funny bone. Besides that, I could swear you claimed that you just covered costs in your cannabis enterprise; all just for charity and so on...

30 dollars a pound ? insane . smoke crack ? im sure those plants would look very healthy. no fertilizer . bug spray. soil. even water shit. its pricy in places. I would grow corn or potatoes . make much more then weed . lose money at this stupid fucks idea 20 or 30 a pound. he prob never grew it in his life. people think all you have to do is plant a seed and it grows. what about all the time people invest in them. best to grow corn or beans. you ass hole

Yes I am. Because only thru uniformity can you control Quality.
And the big players have the money to sink into increasing potentcy more than you ever will.

If cocaine sold for its true value a years supply would be less than 50 bucks. Weed is even easier to mass produce since there is no middle chemical process

No. Government prohibition is mostly responsible for the high prices. Fewer providers and making growing your own illegal has skewed the number of suppliers and increased the risk factor of production.

so much seething anger below the surface there, old sport. don't have a fucking heart attack.
if cannabis were truly legalized, it would never be like tomatoes because tomatoes don't get you high.
but even if it were like that, i wouldn't need a job, i'd need more acres than i plan on getting.
you obviously must have missed the post where i even mentioned what a decent acreage would be to earn the same living i do now.
dumbass.

that is true.
desert dude is well known around here because he does not smoke, does not grow, and on multiple occasions has wished federal prison time on growers for reasons like not voting for rawn pawl.
one time, he was wishing federal prison time on one member and that member actually did go to federal prison the next day.
i control my quality between various strains by smoking them and noting the effects.

probably less than dust blowing in the wind or flying bugs who get stuck to a sticky bud do.
definitely way less than budworms do.
and if you actually knew anything about growing, you'd know that 15 pounds of hanging cannabis takes up every room in a one floor, single family house.
it''s a tough job, but someone has got to inspect the final product and evaluate it before it goes out the door.
luckily i have my wife and neighbors to help me.

Full on commercialization would require it goes thru lab testing for potency, adulterants and pesticides
You also need that information for the required label
And since you are selling a consumable item, the USDA is going to have to inspect the facilities
Better move that cat box out of there for a start

Show me an area of your brain that is not damaged. What the fuck are you rambling about?
Me and my friends will always kick out great weed. None of my friends can make beer worth a shit.
If I want to open a micro brewery there is nothing stopping me.
Why would you think weed will be different? I know why, because you are a fucking loon.
There will always be a market for high quality weed. That need will be fulfilled through legal or other means.
If for some reason your insane fantasies came true, there would be people growing great weed. Doesn't matter if it is illegal, it is illegal right now Dingus.
You are a stupid, stupid person.

i welcome lab testing.
easier than making myself all paranoid while i have a house full of hanging branches by testing the product myself.
