As we just went legal rec here in NM I am bouncing around if I want to try an make a move career wise. When we went legal last year I was able to have my first grow without having to worry about any legal issues, just caring for the plant. It brought me so much joy working with and growing the herb that I love so much I thought, fuck why am I not growing for a living. But then I see the prices at the dispensaries and I'm like how in the world can the growers make any money.If it continues it's race to the bottom, we'll prob bounce out, and just do a home grow. We can still have 24 plants as a patient, and that's plenty of weed for us to consume, barter with, or consume with friends that don't grow. We have a group of friends that just don't have time to do it, and they own businesses, so we trade services at times
Are you growing for a larger company or doing your own thing and selling to dispensaries?
I drove the length of the OK turnpike over the summer and seen all the dispo billboards. It looked like it was only medical and you needed liscense to buy. I also read an article complaining about the NM grower licensing regs and how they weren't going to be able to keep up with demand once recreational sales start this year, it pointed to OK as the model to follow and how the state made it so easy for people to get started growing or opening dispos. I'm wondering if that point if view is being g pushes by corporate interest just looking to flood the market and out compete/shut small growers down, or if they are really worried about there not being enough bud in NM.
