Move to America to grow cannabis - Cannabis Business Network - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Mreko · 07-22-2015, 01:23 PM

Hello everyone I am thinking about moving to America from Sweden so I can grow cannabis the legal way. I have read up on Green Cards and wonder if its possible to get a card if one has 50 000dollars as startup.
Or are there better ways to get a Green card for the purpose of growing cannabis? Have years of experience!

Green Card and Cannabis do not mix.
Green Card holders & MMJ

I am assuming you have an approach to obtaining a card other than "for the purpose of growing Cannabis". Are you eligible for a Green Card?

Good luck.

This is actually not a bad business idea, even for an immigrant from Sweden to try. Yes, there is a lot of waste from cannabis growing that could conceivably be recycled and made into many products.

Realize that cannabis grown to consume is not the same as Hemp, which yields far more stalk than what a commercial medical/recreational grow would provide esp. on a per sq ft basis.

However, starting a new business now, making all the contacts for sourcing materials and selling products, might put you one step ahead of others once hemp production is legalized across the US.

So many uses of the plant, so many possible business opportunities. Such a business won't need to be regulated like cannabis, even though it's the primary product.

Large scale farming of Hemp will transform the economy even more than medical/recreational will. Just read Jack Herer's book to learn more.

I can see dozens of types of business from fiber processing to food to clothing to fuel, to cosmetics, distribution, packaging, retail sales, and on and on...

The processing biz would have to be large scale to effectively compete with foreign bizes which already operate elsewhere and who will suddenly be allowed to sell more of their products to the US. The market would get competitive quickly, so those with established US bizes and contacts would be able to compete.

Imagine the cannabis leaf logo on major corporate products as a trendy, eco-friendly label... Coming soon?

I'd stay in sweden but I wish you luck...can always go back right.

come over to CO on vacation and try to get a job with a legal grow.
then see if you can get a work visa.

if you are one of those hot swedish blondes with nice breasts you will be all set.

I want to move to sweden, i would stay there as their will be many loopholes for you to jump through. If you do decide to come to america let us know where you end up.

I'm sorry but 50K isn't enough to make anyone look twice. I have inlaws that I'd be happy to ante up 50 g's to bring them over. Forget it. There are other ways......

Have you considered marrying a "merican"?

If there's a will there's a way. Good growers will always be appreciated. I have a guest grower friend from Italy coming in Nov to stay with Me, and maybe stay in the country. A decade ago. A Swede was my house guest for a month, in CA S of SF. I just met him on the streets of SF. We went surfing everywhere, and had a great time. He became a family friend. His b'day party put on by my ex was a real fun get together for all our freaky City friends. *an0ther life ag0*

Screw the naysayers..! I'd love to go to Sweden. So I understand.

Lotsa Luck if you do. Maybe just come over, and forget the green card you may be underground like many of us are.
