I was talking to Chloe Vilanno on FaceBook and she was saying how the MED license also allows you to expand you presence in the industry by the ability to grow wholesale amounts of plants you can do breeding projects and the like...without having to be hired to do that for a shop/dispensary.

I have had a dream once of breeding for famous tokers personal stashes once and other ideas...designer breeding, if you will.

I'm with the others.. don't move here.

I'm sure I sound like an asshole, but I'm just being real with you. Every mother fucker and their granny wants to grow weed for a living..

Look into somewhere in the east coast.. Maine maybe

Establish yourself before the laws change growing medically and transition with the law to produce as much quality cannabis as you can for the next 2 or 3 years then move to Colorado to retire. I have dreamed of everyway possible to make this place happen for me but there is no option. Find a friend or four and buy this and make it happen. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/for/5135360556.html
Worst case you sell and make $200k when the law changes.

Have you thought about a job in the industry but outside the controlled sector..I.e. Gro shop?

[stoned-trout]

designer breeding think chimera is on that bandwagon...good luck breeders/growers now are like pidgeons in the city...yeehaw... more grow gear gets sold on craigslist and everywhere..

Florida 2016 hopefully

But there is a ton of ppl from florida already there.

Bang out what you do here get right and hold the money tight till 2016.

Thats around the corner.

ppl who jump ship now are light years behind the ones that moved prior and are established

I am in the process of moving out to Colorado myself. I already have a decent job lined up in a non MJ related industry or else I might of been looking at Washington. I should be able to make a decent living wedge off of my normal career but it would be nice to supplement my income a bit. Sounds like two years LIVIN and I could apply for a license eh? Does not sound that bad. Time flies fast and two years will fly by no doubt.

Other than that I am somewhat hooked up in the Denver area and I just want to grow the best herb possible. At first just for myself and a small select group of well connected friends. Great herb always has a way of spreading its own reputation. I think if I wait out the two years and build up contacts and skill the rest will follow. If it doesn't work out I was not trying to make a living off of cannabis so no real loss. Just gains life experience. I have a few solid ideas that I believe are not over saturated but I will have a better idea once I spend more time in the area.


@ThePhiloStoned good luck homes! Your situation is a bit rougher but doesn't sound like mission impossible. If you come up with a solid game plan it can definitely work out.

I came out here without needing to rely on the industry for a living...bud, you missed your chance. There are hundreds of people going for and qualified for every single growing/selling job, there is a chance some of those small towns in the corners need people, but the major markets are pretty full. Seems to be quite a bit at the 10 buck an hour range, if you can work with that come on out. The pay really doesn't seem to get much above 15 an hour unless you are the head grower...but well you probably aren't that good and that is a title that comes with a long track record.

So that puts you in an ownership situation. Other folks have pointed out that any priors basically make you a no go for any established shops. Double wammy if looking to get mile high. Residency is easy, same as anywhere else, just sign up for a utility/cable and go get a new drivers license. That only qualifies you for the bottom license though, you cannot own anything and are going to be stuck in the 10-15 an hour range. They did just relax the rules around out of state people buying in, but that is a pricey proposition.

Hello and welcome. It is great out here if you can make it I think this is the right mindset. If you really like weed and want to work towards it being your career, thats great, but everyone should realize they are likely to fail. It is like moving to LA to become an actor.
