Thinking of moving to Cali to grow weed, legally... Where do i even start?
- Thread starter Kie26
- Start date
Do you think my buds would sell? (Am always trying to remain humble and improve quality/yield)
I think I could make OK money, or am I delusional?!
Was thinking SoCal, like San Diego, rent a 2 bedroom to start, already have a legit job with a great company that I could transfer there with. Would just take a little time to set up shop, get my card, and make connections.
Or stay east coast, try to be like Tony Montana, and buy lots guns case leo comes to f*** my life up ?! Decisions decisions...

whats the deal with spanish laws can you elaborate please?
because everyone in spain pretty much can grow within their homes and sell from their homes as long as its not a huge operation legally without fear of ever being raided or being prosecuted for such.
spain also has a really good collective of cannabis clubs willing to help you get your product along safely, its quite lovely. resin club is one of my favorites, anyone with a medical card can come to this club and get meds without a problem, i mean anyone in the world.
if im not mistaken cannabis laws in spain seem to get better and better but its never been a surprise europe takes their cannabis seriously.
i just learned recently how awesome spain is from spannabis, watching this convention i really had no clue what thier laws on cannabis actually were as they seem to be really open, low and behold i was blown away to find out little facts like those which was more than enough for me to consider moving there myself.
europe is one of the few places left on the earth that actually cares about its environment which means a lot to me, to be close to iceland would be super fun also
europe is just so beautiful period. what i love most is how their laws actually make sense, yes they may have prostitution but think how many people they save from rape with little things like this for creeps and people who just really are treated like shit all their lives to still be able to get some luvin.if america started to control these substances like europe does safely and very well at that, they would hit the drug lords where it hurts by simply taking their business over and making it possible for people to no longer have to deal with such dangerous methods of getting or trafficking drugs sadly to me america knows this, they have for quite some time and it seems almost as if they want these drug lords to continue their reign and sell illegally and very dangerously for some hidden reason i cant put my finger on but i know is there, there is no other reason why these things cant be legalized and controlled just like alcohol or tobacco, as always this country worries the shit out of me every day i wake up in it because of corrupt and hidden issues such as these.
buds look big turbo. As long as the quality is there to match you could handle buds like that all day.... just not for as much as you'd like. You'd be offered somewhere in the 2's. 3's if its got really nice bag appeal n potency once its all cured up. Negotiation skills vary. What strain is it? if its something that there's a glut of (blue dream/green crack etc), they might pass unless you are willing to let it go for ridiculously cheap.

Seems like it would be tough to move to a place with no connections where its already flooded lots of people are leaving cali for newer med states but it is better to live in southern cali then northern that way you don't have to drive far to get a good price.

think real hard my friend. I've watched soooo many people go "belly up", thinking that MM was gonna be their "golden egg". In reality it was quite the opposite. Make sure you look at every possibilty too. Keep in mind 95% of all medical cannabis is now tested for diease, chemicals,and for bugs. The old days of showing up at the back door of the dispensaries to unload your meds is all but over now in So. Cal.
So really think hard before you make the plunge..
So really think hard before you make the plunge..
Thnx for the info! Strain was nothing special, just some Bubbledust by Growdoc from an old grow. However, I would run only unique/elite cuts, if I were donating to clubs, to hopefully get above 3k per lb. and try to do 4-10p's a month for extra income, will be able to support myself w/ current job so no worries if It's harder than expected.
Does anyone break down the marginal profit per ounce in California?
Could make up for the low prices per lb w/ volume. 10-20#'s a month! (that's a lot 0 weed)
Ok, Where are all these better med states? I don't think you can "donate" to clubs in Colorado anymore, Michigan maybe, and what else, rhode island?
I don't really see a best medical state, the new NJ MMJ program is laughable at best, maybe oregon? Fml...decisions...
I'll be walkin' in the front door sir !
Would like to hear from people in the know, some say you can still get $3,200 a lb. or 200 per (z) in California if you build a relationship with a club n' have top shelf meds.
So where is the next California?
I will be buying one of those airsoft guns krunch mentioned, legal, AND lethal!
OOOOOH, Bay Area Huh........Well try Blackhawk or Orinda better yet maybe a vinyard in Napa.........
Oddly enough, I met this customer at work today who happens to be moving out to CA in pursuit of acting, and jokingly said "I'm gonna grow herb too son!." I encouraged him as he is actually making moves towards his goals.
coincidence, or ?

LMFAO!!!!! Good One!
You have jobs lined up in trinity county and the bay area? This is confusing. Are you talking about working at home?
You have an awesome job that you can perform while living anywhere in California?
Sounds like BS.
yes, i work for a global company. and its all online work. its not bs..... thanks for asking though. glad to clarify. :]
ever heard of "the cloud"?

If you 'got it going on'. How is it you don't know how to use the search feature or Google?
Your posts are insipid. I'm calling BS
lets put it this way.....
the local market in Blackhawk has 24 karat gold plated shopping carts, a grand piano with some kat playing all day and the people who work there, are in tuxedo's.....
the Bay Area is crazy expensive, but the mentioned places are even way higher.....

Turbo - I already see you really want to come to Cali, but these numbers are just not realistic. I see guys who have been growing for 25+ years, with strains you'd KILL FOR getting "maybe" right now $2,800.00 TOPS and like SO many have been trying to point out to you and Kie26 that this "grow thing" is really tough let me share some HARD numbers off my Excel Spreadsheet tracking my current grows expenses and profits ok?
Expenses: this includes nutes, root bags PG&E, profit split with my gro-bro, assorted bit's n bob's, OH and I did I mention PG&E your electricity is going to be crazy large, I am SMALL time and my monthly nut is probably what you already pay for rent where you are at, try $700+ per month JUST FOR ELECTRICITY!
ok here are my expenses for this current run so far and I have 5 more weeks to go; $5,667.00
Donations: $10,264.00
Profit: $4,586.00 (this is 2 months mortgage payment here in Santa Cruz NO other monthly bills included, JUST my nut to keep a roof over my head.
I get the feeling that more and more than people who start these type of threads have already made up their mind BEFORE they even post. They just want someone to co-sign their bullshit, or dream that moving to California will solve all their problems some how, well folks guess what you bring with you to Cali, yourself.

I appreciate the honesty Mega, you are there, I am here, how am I supposed to know what the deal is!? haha thanks for setting the record straight.
I may stay east, although I always wanted to move out to SoCal since I visited San Diego years ago. Beautiful weather n women, great vibes, and I bet Santa Cruz is even better huh?
Getting tired of these northeast winters, but we do have cheap electricity, 300-380 for zips (~$4,800-5k a p is attainable if you know good ppls), similar cost of living to CA though, and most importantly, Felony charges for anything above a couple plants/ounces
Trade-offs huh? Got the bank account up, ready to go, just gotta figure out the next best step!
Will not accept jail-time, stealth and gunstore baby woot woot!!!
