well they can do light dep green houses cooled using solar power?
not sure they need to even grow there.

in the end it seems you could do better things with so much money. also doing this so openly might get the irs interested in where the money came from.

i don't think they need worry about the IRS
it seems they are a $23M company already.

the isolation, the barren desert, the heat, the proximity to Vegas, all negatives.
the only positive they have is cannabis...
of course if DEA and IRS don't obstruct them they can grow plenty of it.
it can't go across state lines so the customers will have to come to them (from NV, or if they get an airstrip, anywhere).

imo pot tourism for that tiny berg is like lipstick on a pig.

If they're smart, they'll establish a cannabis growing 'boot camp' for teaching 'beginner', 'intermediate' and 'advanced' weed growing techniques. They could have a second boot camp for teaching 'extraction methods', and yet another for 'legal mumbo-jumbo', and still another for 'cooking/baking'. They could morph that whole town into a cannabis 'learning community' with a bunch of indoor recreational fun too.

Yes, Jeffry. Seems that he is having a hard time finding any ammunition in the legal weed state feedback that the DOJ demanded on the impact of legal weed on crime in those states. But there are also the court cases citing RICO laws pending in Colorado and Oregon.

It is risky... but they once told Bugsy Segal that Las Vegas was a tiny little dump of a town that no one would go to gamble in the middle of the desert and absolutely nowhere near anything. He was killed for oversubscribing the shares in the casinos, but even over subscribed, they made their money back 10 fold.

Strange things happen in odd places.

Well, there is enough solar energy available there to power a GH and A/C and whatever else they want for an indoor grow option. Just look at the MASSIVE scale indoor grows in buildings going up in Colorado and Canada. But it is not needed. Dunno why people think that weed cannot be grown outside in the heat in the desert. There are HUGE outdoor grow ops in Baja and the Sonora desert in northern Mexico. Never mind Morocco and Lebanon. My GH has been in the 100s here all week. MJ plants simply LOVE THE HEAT. I-15 is 10 miles away. A 10 mile detour for tourists, and only 10 miles from the main artery to LA/San Diego and the ripe markets in SoCal.

I don't understand. If cannabis LOVES HEAT so much then why are we told to keep our indoor temps below 85F??

This has some interesting possibilities regarding pot politics.

I'm thinking back to the 1980's in Antelope Oregon when Indian Guru Bhagwan Rajneesh and his followers bought land and formed a large commune
with enough members to dominate the political landscape in the area.

They were quite successful 'til it all fell apart when things got truely crazy.

mind-blowing potential for extreme fun

They should get Trump to put his name on it. Then it would be a smash hit. Of course then they would have to kick back a couple of hundred million.
