Thanks for everyone's responses regarding local price. I know it's an ongoing topic in multiple threads. I'm new to the "industry". I think it's a little funny how I got started. My partner was buying product and I just thought it was way too much $. So, I agreed to start growing for her in two of our closets.
I've really been wanting a puppy, so this kind of gave me something to "care" for w/o the responsibility of a puppy, though I've found it's about the same amount of work...it just doesn't pee on my carpet.
When my first grow, which was 3 Afghan Kush which yielded about 6oz, we looked at each other and were like...who's gonna smoke all this?! Yea, right?! So, she kept two ounces and I asked a friend if they knew where I could unload the other four.
I come from a super-sheltered background, so I don't smoke weed and I sure as heck had no idea how to sell it. When I found out they had a friend who would give me $300 an oz for it I was excited to say the least.
I started a personal grow to come out with 2 oz and $1200. So, I took my mom and made 6 more plants. Obviously, came out with more personal stash and some to unload. About a year later, I'm still very much a newb. Everything I know is from this website and a combination of books I've purchased on Amazon.
Unfortunately, I don't have the same background some people do, so I often find myself going to urbandictionary.com to look-up what words mean! Yeah, I'm lame and very uncool.
To take legal precautions, I've obtained a medical card. I don't know if this is a pipe dream, but I'm really sick of my day job and some of my favorite time is the time I spent with my plants. I'm hoping to somehow turn a profit here.
I'm just a suburban, middle class, white lesbo growing some plants that happen to help people medicinally and recreationally. I truly believe cannabis doesn't hurt anyone and to be honest, in the last 8 years, I've accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in debt due to our lame economy and I feel this is my only way out.
Anyway, I guess that was me venting. I feel like a criminal, but I hope...in that growing these plants, I can pay off some of my debt, help sick people and help healthy people get thru their shitty days a little better!
