Kelly decision is old now and can only be cited in criminal law, not civil. Atleast that's what the lawyers told me when I freaked out about it.

Nice thread chunky, imo it's gonna be like beer a whole bunch of bud light and pbr.... microbrewerys do have a chance and so will smaller growers with a good consistent unique product.

Prices are gonna go up to start and may stay up with all the major medical production getting shutdown and fees associated with actually getting a license. I don't see why prices would drop.

I have heard time and time again that the corporate weed in Colorado sux and I have heard the same in Washington. I won't be surprised to hear the same,about cali.

I can verify the corporate weed in CO does indeed suck. Im not bashing CO growers. Obviously there is good bud grown there, but that stuff reaches very few...

The cheap, crappy weed from CO, that only looks good in the bag, is what is driving down prices all over the midwest and Dirty South (why pay 2800 for the Cali when the CO that looks almost as good is going for 2400)

That stuff is blowing up the black markets East of CO. Seen it first hand. With all the regs in CO etc. hundreds of pounds a day are still leaving the state...

And by the way, as to the title of the thread "why you are done growing next year", that may be right if you have never grown outside Cali, don't understand other markets, or just think this is the be all end all.

I can assure you that many will just go back to playing the game on home turf in non Med states and do just fine.

I think there is a lot of fear mongering going on here. There are some who will be affected, but again who didn't see these regs coming? Rec was on schedule for 2016 regardless of this . The state is getting out in front of legalization so they will be prepared with hands open to funnel the money. Most of you who are most worried have until the regulatory committees start auditing the state to see what is coming from where before you have anything to worry about. In the meantime I would expect less and less funding going towards pot busts.
If you are serious about this as a career you should make good contacts and a resume, or a business plan. There will be investors lining up once banking regs are established, and even sooner. You must buy a facility or be completely upfront with the landlord as they will have to sign off on wholesale production.
I think this will drive some black market activity to continue but those teetering between black and white markets will have to decide a path. In the meantime prices should increase for good wholesalers with a consistent, quality product. Paycheck, insurance, and yes taxes.
