If 390 does pass, what is your business plan? Are you ready?

[Hash Zeppelin]

I want to hear about new inovative ideas to build as many different buiness around the pot industy. from goods to services, share them all. and if you are a critic of someone's business idea, make it constructive.

If this bill passes in cali it can be great. To ensure this, the current community of highly skilled growers, med shop owners, and community eutreprenuers must work together closley.

Like a new exectutive branch taking office, you must be able to hit the ground running. It must be done with new inovative buisness designs, and strict community standards on what quailfies as quality pot. If we work to control the market and the regulations on it from the start we can keep big existing corporations from cornering any part of the pot market for themselves.

I'll start with a few of my ideas, i dont care if anyone steals them, i just want to see them come to fruition.

1. The world strain exchange. Store and preserve as many mothers as possible and provide clones to people all around the world.

2. 5 star smoking. I want to incorporate pot in to 5 star dining like cigars, scotch, and wine.

Read AB 390 closely. Smoking cannabis will only be permitted inside private residences.

1. The world strain exchange. Store and preserve as many mothers as possible and provide clones to people all around the world.

Although that would be nice, the fact remains that cannabis is the most illegal substance in the world; this bill won't change that.

 

[slappyjack]

I'd probably have an orgasm if Cali started shipping out clones, but my guess is that state-state transport will remain illegal just like cigarettes and alcohol.

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

good points guys. I guess the world strain exchange would just be a name at first. people would have to come there personally to get one, no mailing.

possible Loophole for the private residece law
In texas we have something called the t.a.b.c. it is an organization that enforces crazy texas laws about tobacco and alcohol. It used to be illeagal to sell and consume alcohol in a puplic place. People found a loop hole in this law. It is ok to drink in a private club that you have to pay to be a member. So a state wide club was started that all reasraunts and bars could join to become a private club. The consumer could join as well, only requirement was be 21 and have 10 dollars to buy your unicard. It is your member card that can be used anywhere.

There was no way to control drinking after that so the law changed. It would be sweet if cali could use the same loop hole.

honestly not much would change in my life, if anything. My place is too small to grow. I'd still smoke just as much before. So yeah, no real change for me. I guess the only real change is that I could be more open bout smoking marijuana amongst some of my family, co-workers, and friends. Also it would be nice to be out and about and blaze and not have to worry bout the cops harassing me (not that it really happens now for me).

 

[Yes4Prop215]

of course many people might have ideas to buy big warehouses and start growing massive, but in reality the only people who will be able to do this are rich drug kingpins and major players already in the business.

but yeah, i have definately thought about how cool it would be to grow pounds and pounds legally, and maybe open a mail order business like TLG has with mushroom spores, or those companies in Canada have.

i want to get some outdoor land and make a huge weed forest, where tourists can walk through and even pick a few fresh buds off the plants.

Like the botanical feel good garden of ganja. great idea

 

[deltronZER0]

I'd love to start a smoke shop and ganja pharmacy provided for by inhouse organically grown buds.
I haven't drawn up a business plan, but I feel like I'd have a pretty good idea of how to get there.
too bad I've got no $$$

Capitol is hard to come by these days.

If you are lucky enough to live in cali, you gotta grow your cash. Get lisensed by the state to be a med grower. Just go from there.

Buy bubble bags too they are worth the investment. You get more way hash from the larf and clipings of one harvest even in a small grow. dont get the tiny one gallon ones unless you only do micro grows.

Read the Law as proposed.

Read the Law as proposed.

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0351-0400/ab_390_bill_20090223_introduced.html

This is not a simple law. This is a money law to extract more taxes and if you don't pay them or try to evade them you go to jail. To read this law, a law degree is just about necessary. Its one more thing the 'government' is putting its finger in to extract money, before you vote for this its best to read it because once its on the books Big Brother will be your partner or else. California was once the 7th largest economy in the world but now its economy is a shambles because of people like the one who wrote this crap. The above site is the official California site for proposed legislation, fire up a bowl and start reading as it will take a couple of days to understand this wasn't written for your benefit. This is a taxing device with some draconian instruments that are not on the books now but will be if this passes. We already have laws that will put you in jail, this is more of the same.

I plan on growing as much ganja as possible then share with friends and fam. Oh wait I already do that! Yeah! Wont effet me so much!

i like your style

 

[Yes4Prop215]

yea 390 seems fishy becuase the government has their hands so deep in the MMJ clubs pockets already.


it just seems like they are gonna create a super tax on this, which i am totally against.

i wouldnt mind paying an annual fee to be able to legally grow 25 or so plants, but a 50 per ounce is just plain bananas.

It does seem fishy, but we need to pass it to establish a strong foothold. Then we can ammend the bill over time. Plus cali needs the money.

And personnal growers arnt taxed. Plus as long as you dont pull an Al Capone they wont beable to enforce shit. They already cant control the distribution of pot, it aint gonna get easier.

The sales tax that is required from MMJ clubs is actually pretty reasonable. Every business in California that sells anything has to pay sales tax.

I cannot give enough good karma to FreedomFGHTR. This is guy is one of my favorite guys talk to. Always active and informative, and pretty positive. good quotes too.

kudos to you man

HAHA YEA! that would be awesome, garunteed tourist attraction for sure.

A marijuana botanical garden, props to the first person to do that!

you could have the hugest mother plants everywhere, then the flowering section, and then finally, the GIFT SHOP! where you can purchase your favorite meds. plus you can add cafeterias and fountains, make it feel like an aquarium, have trippy music, nice ambience, etc etc

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

ya make the exit through the gift shop. ha. It can be like a trippy maze too, so people are all stoned and cant find there way out, casino. Except it would be located in a sequoia forest.

 

[sns_stealth]

I was thinking of doing grow room design for people that wanted to grow and dont know how to set up safely and productively. maybe a "Pimp My Growroom" contest to start it off...

is there anything like that already in cali?
