There is a ton of them complaining about people abusing the system and being greedy, not one mention by anyone how ridiculous it is to say you can only grow X amount of plants....all this licensing and BS....all about the gov getting more money and control over things. Theres no limit on basil, tomatoes, or any other plant.... why should weed be treated differently. As for the guy and his wife someone mentioned growing 48 plants in the yard as a huge SOG......WHO CARES....seriously whats the difference between 6 and 24 plants....Granted we need regulation for safety like locking up and securing grows etc. As far as Im concerned its absolutely Absurd how much we are taxed and how ridiculous all sorts of laws have gotten. Im in NY where medical weed was legalized and the corrupt ass state took millions of money from applicants who had to apply for licenses when the state specifically said they were only allowing 5 "pre-approved" companies to start grows and dispensaries.....several companies started building 6 months before applications were being accepted.....not only that, reg people who use weed medically or recreationally, cant grow at all. Its all about keeping the elite where they are and pushing down the regular people. Just think for a second how ridiculous it is that you get taxed on your pay, again when you use that already taxed money to buy something, and again for your property, by your state, by the feds, then your taxes are misused for things that usually are for the worse of the regular person. One small example red light cameras (IDK if colorado has em), these are completely illegal and unconstitutional and used for profit and often cause accidents with the flashes attached to the camera pole, they dont benefit the people at all.
Anyways I just think its sad that everyone is hating on people who grow and smoke weed instead of the people who make it a crime.....I use cannabis rec and medically but when I do need it for pain or nausea I need very high amounts, ive had to use an oz a week or more at times. By no means can one sustain high usage like that with 6 plants and only 3 of them flowering......The people who are greedy is the CO state gov......they have made an incredible amount of money, the fact that there is a huge black market really shouldn't matter.....since when is 30 million in a year not enough? I bet CO still has homeless people and pot holes though.....wonder what all that money goes to.....hey maybe Im wrong but in NY it doesnt take a genius to figure out how much money they take in from property taxes and its mind boggling numbers when you have a sinlge home paying 15k a yr in taxes easily....then you hear that the school cant buy new text books....where does it all go...
All that being said I still wanna move to Colorado lol
Just my two cents
