To the OP; we are in a depression. The worst economic times the country has ever seen.

I think according to the article what most growers are failing in is consistency, marketing and sales. Lots of people can grow, but not everyone can do business as well. I am in a fairly new market and I know growers that have no clue what to do when its ready. If it isn't selling or they are not getting the price they want they are freaking out.

It's blood money.

Perhaps but the expense to grow INDOOR is well more than 20x and as high as 40x that $4 figure. Ask a Cali indoor grower if he is producing Lbs for less than $160 in elec. let alone nutes, equipment, packaging / handling?

My real point is that even IF fully legal in the future, the costs faced by most growers currently is well in excess of $160 an lb or $10 an oz.

So unless you expect power companies, local governments, equipment vendors and other to take huge cuts there can never be $4lbs because the cots to produce an LB is already well greater than that IRRESPECTIVE of the legal status of this plant.

The sad take away is that AMAZING indoor hydro may become as rare as indoor tomatoes. Funny further is the outdoor crop is the only reason for this recent crash in CA wholesale prices. Amazing genetics done well outdoor in CA rival or beat poor CA indoor and the costs per lb are WAY less for outdoor.

The market will go where it will. But if fully legalized indoor can never be less than the input costs of production.

#1 imported drug into the US is cannabis ...at least from Mexico, if the numbers and the
people are right, then cannabis is the drug tied right to the blood WAR in MEXICO and the
bordering US. Mexican cartels are now growing comerical quality indoor and smugleing into
US, go figure its about time they put all the Oaksterdam cuts to use: phroabition needs to end everybody deserves Cannabis

only people getting lowballed are those with crap....i know cats growing indoors that barely even get outdoor prices because it sucks these guys run 40k warehouses and set everything on timers and barely put in any work, fuck those guys...heard a grower recently say "i dont care about weed i just do for living" when he saw how good our Kush loked compared to his uncured premo grapes...haha buddy thats why you are getting lowballed.


4 dollars a LB is the biggest load of crap ive heard....really hate people who think weed is gonna become worthless overnight due to legalization. did you forget the only reason the government would legalize it is to MAKE MONEY and they sure as shit are gonna tax way more than 4 dollars a LB....try 10% an LB in the current med market or 50 dollars an OZ...so if you sell an LB for 3k you gotta pay 300+ in taxes....and the government still wants more!! 4 dollars a LB hahaha...yeah maybe for outdoor guerilla weed what we call jungle packs or surenos sativa...
