I contacted XTRM and told them about a seed crushing plant in Dove Creek CO. Over $4M was put into that plant and basically they ran a test batch of biodiesel. Has sat idle for years. They were originally going to process sunflower seeds yet would be perfect for hemp seed. The company handling offers said the plant could be picked up for low 6 figures. Everyone wants to buy the equipment inside and move it yet some stipulation says it has to stay put and be sold with the building.
Was looking at it to do food grade organic hemp seed oil yet the facility would need too much work for GMP compliance for my taste.
Would be good to get that plant going for much needed jobs in the area. Someone will eventually do it.
Money Man in new battleground state. Putting together classes for 500 usd a pop. Not teaching any details yet, because it is illegal. But running the classes anyways.
He has no knowledge of growing. He's hiring teachers that were taught by other teachers, but have never touched dirt (or hydroton). Wants to open dispensaries in two of the biggest cities in the State as well as grow facilities - and corner the market. ALL using other peoples' money..
Hopefully, there will be SOOO many new smokers, who will want product, and We can still operate. Otherwise, I guess I am going to work for RJ Reynolds. Nah, I'll just move to another country or some such.
Too bad about NorCal, I miss the Land so much. But it is a bad addiction that I must get over.
EDIT: I will work for an RJ Reynolds, sure - but save up and amscray this country as soon as viable.

That's why I'm against legalization unless it protects growers. Mmj is fine and more people wil realize that once it's to late.
what they are doing in WA is straight fucking bullshit. every grower i know up there is mad but most aren't doing anything, since they've been growing illegally anyways for years and years and most of it gets sent outta town just like CA.
however if they tried that BS law in CA there would be a revolt…no one down here is gonna accept a measly 2 oz limit and no home growing. my county recently tried to limit us to 150sq ft of canopy which is still a nice sized bedroom or small GH and the voters have organized an aggressive referendum to strike down the limits.

i'm seeing things that are bright, well preserved, and loud real trainwreck (classic) for 15 here in the north bay. Blue dreams that look like indoor are going for 16-17... Out in butte ( i havn't seen them in a month or so but i know there still around ), there's lemon guru, alcupulco gold, and OG x GC for 14
Reading this thread makes me so upset. All you people who think " boutique cannabis" is going to be a viable choice for us in a legal market are crazy..... How many smokers are going to pay a decent price for great stuff when commercial options are so much cheaper...... 99% of smokers know fuck all about real quality....
I'm 100% AGAINST legalization. I want to see the profits and quality control In OUR hands to big biz.
Indoor packs 2800 in the Midwest.....

Must admit, I was one who believed in the boutique market.
Now, I am not so sure, from anything but a small-scale point of view.
So then you are FOR the unfortunate ones who get caught to be put in prison, just so you can make a buck.
Never mind the right or wrong of it, never mind that many have been fighting against criminalization for decades, and never mind that there are people doing life in prison for herb, never mind that your stance supports the police state and the pigs who are trying to destroy us. Never mind all of that, 'cause you care only about you. But if you were locked up, you would be crying like a little bitch.
Guess you have us figured out then....
I supposedly want all my homies and friends in prison because I want to make a dollar, yet IM the ONLY motherfucker who had went to jail for growing weed...
Sure makes sense....
Already been locked up bro. No crying like a bitch here...... Personally I am willing to accept the consequences of growing illegally.
I just hate to see it fully legalized and taking money out of peoples pocket that care about herb.
Legalizing fully only benefits corporations not co-operations....
It's not that I don't appreciate others fight for MMJ

Us? Who is "us"? I am "us" too, but I don't want anyone locked in a cage for a plant that should never have been criminalized. We all want to make a dollar. Nothing wrong with that, but not at the expense of other people's freedom. Freedom is more important than money, IMO. And I don't understand your statement: "yet IM the ONLY motherfucker who had went to jail for growing weed..."....please explain.
The cat's out of the bag. You can't go back in time. People take chances. I get it. I took them, and I went to federal prison for it. Don't want to see others go through what I and MANY others have gone through, and still are going through. Should we go back to the roaring 20s and make alcohol illegal too, so the bootleggers can make money? When, not if, it's totally decriminalized, there will still be opportunities. Other doors will open. I don't think your peeps will abandon you for Mickey-D weed if you are turning out a good product. I know I can turn out a better product than any mass produced junk, just like a good chef/restaurant can turn out better food than Mickey-Ds. Sure, some undiscerning people will still go to Mickey-Ds, but those in the know will always go for the good stuff. There are people buying schwag every day of the week, but you are not selling to them. I am tired of having brainless, gutless pigs with the ability to cuff me and throw me in a cell for their money. Let them go out and get a real job. Might as well get used to it. This prohibition is over. You have benefited from living in a med state, but lots of folks haven't. I don't ever want some self righteous pea brain to have the power to slap the cuffs on me or anyone else, including you. There was a time for me when the livin' was easy, but that time is gone. Adapt or perish. The benefits for the few should never outweigh those for the many. I don't think there's a single person here that would ever buy "corporate" weed. I know I wouldn't.
quit whining...adapt or die!
Consignment is not the problem. Shitty bussinessman and crooks are the problem. IRL I help companies setup and track consignments for literally thousands of parts worth millions of dollars. Keeping track of consignments and making sure the consignor is paid properly is easy. The problem is that this business is still a cash business and we still do not have access to the courts. Somebody stiffs you on consignment of an elbow, what are you going to do? Sue them in small claims court?
Yeah Right. But once we do have access to the courts, things will change almost overnight. Consignment is a legitimate way to do business and there is definitely money to be made doing things that way. But not if there is no recourse if the consignee is a crook.

I wouldn't be too sure.
I already look at our (midwest) market as buying corporate weed. The corporation being all of the legal CA growers sending their product east.
Is our local indoor better? Of course.. by far. Does that mean the masses care? Not really. They are seemingly adopting this california "kush" because the price gap is widening and the bag appeal of this outdoor twister shit is actually much better then what they've seen years past..
All of this legal weed is getting too cheap around here. Our packs are much nicer... but how much ($$) nicer? As OhighO stated..the majority don't know jack shit about quality and those who are willing to pay the increased price for the danker local indoor are becoming farther and fewer between.
Furthermore.. the larger brokers who deal in both CA outdoor and are also (normally) the large bulk buyers of the local indoor (if you want that cash without the headache) have the upper hand because they are controlling a lot of the cash/small distribution legs.
I don't support prohibition and don't want to see anyone caged for cannabis, but that's the current problem. We are not legal..and are still at risk of being caged for cannabis! But now unfortunately have to compete with a flood of legally grown nugs out of CA, OR, MI, CO, etc while still bearing all of the same risks.
One can talk superior quality all they want.. it still boils down to price. Those local connoisseur niche markets are only so big...
It is what is it is I guess though.. Adapt for perish. I guess we just have to wait and see. I embrace legislation even it means a change/dent to my livelihood. Nobody deserves to rot in prison over cannabis.
