For the last year and few months I've watched and listened to economist that are predicting another crash which will be bigger than 2007/2008 one we experienced. The banks now have more control and power than ever.

Most people don't know this and won't believe you when you tell them the federal reserve is not part of the government but actually a privately owned institution. Are dollar is getting devalued every moment since the fed has been printing billions of dollars and putting them into circulation, mostly through the stock market which is why some people say the stock market is inflated. The dollar has been the worlds reserve currency because pretty much all oil had to be traded using it. Recently some of the biggest nations and economies in the world have been getting off our petro dollar because they see how the fed is devaluating it at a rapid rate. However it's still not anywhere where it could be, I've heard a few predictions by some very smart people that say when the dollar collapses and we have hyper inflation the prices of everything will be ridiculously expensive.

I'm very grateful that I've learned how to grow my own mj organically which in turn has taught me how to grow organic food as well. I feel this skill is gonna invaluable in the future especially if the economy does crash again and/or the dollar collapses.

I'd like to hear from others, and get different points of view from my fellow icmaggers...

Just what we need....big dose of reality, or something far fetched...or anywhere inbetween.

As we older folks say...weed (indeed!) and learn to be self reliant, friends and family in our hip pocket. Everything ebbs and flows....just gotta roll with the punches.

Lost a lot from being too bullish in high earning stocks/mutual funds...in 2001 and lesser extent, 2008. Being diversified helped even out, but will never recover from the 2001 loss.

So you do your best, plan for the worst...live simply, enjoy Life. We're just a blip on a radar screen in LIFE time passes before/after us.

Since concept of dollar/currency exchange is based on "FAITH"....the same as any alternative system would require, the world will just shift to some other country's paper money that most people have "FAITH in". Today it is USA dollars....tomorrow Chinese yen?

When the U.S. Dollar collapses how will MJ and food be affected?

Lots of factors involved.

Well we have to consider if society is educated enough and respects property rights and if they see the advantages of peaceful voluntary exchange. Then without the state everyone will be fine generally speaking we will even flourish.
If society does not have morals and through political action and personal actions, just wants to steal, lie and mistreat others, then it be dangerous to possess those things openly.



We have the chance to change things now. I think that should be considered the best option. END THE FED. Personal and economic freedom is what will work to avert this horrible fate.
