Then you need the growing license, much easier wich we applied for an initial 3000sqm; but the idea is to apply for 20.000sqm if we see enough demand from international markets, as we already have the terrain.

That's very interesting. Would love to learn more about it. What region are you in. I got to spend some time in Medellin and loved it out there.

If no flowers are allowed in Colombia, what do you extract? Or can you grow with the permit but then you must turn it all in to derivatives, concentrates, etc? Been down to Colombia recently, bomb ass weed sent me flying! Some wild cannabinoid profiles down there!

And the indigenous farmer? They still do not incorporate the most needy, who according to them, would be the first to win with this business. Finally for large companies, the word medicine only means money. Let's look at the other side of the coin too. That's my opinion.

Does sound nice, just seen Marc Emery post that the weed sells for $20 a pound in some village out there. I probably wouldn't want to grow my own their. Lol, I know he had some pictures of buds didn't look too bad, it was kept in jars not then shitty bails of compressed weed.

Can't imagine a lot of money could be made there. Of course if you work as a middle man buy a few hundred pounds and extract the cannabinoids then sell could be some good money. Of course you have to find someone to import from you, legally preferably. Definitely not going to be an easy business, I don't know of any countries buying import cannabis extracts. Of course we legalize marijuana in the USA import weed will kick California's ass, forget about even $1,000 a pound for top shelf.

Well if marc is on his South American tour exploring pot farms you can bet there's a VERY good rea$on!

Since both he and jodie have convictions, they will most likely be locked out of the coming financial opportunities available this summer when pot is legal in Canada.

.... not to mention the fact that he may need a new place to stay when The Big Story finally breaks!

[CaptainDankness]

Yeah, I can see him trying to make some money in Columbia. Of course he better not get as big down there them cartels still exist and he's a gringo. Lol

Of course if I was in a cartel I'd use him to push weed, coke and heroin throughout Canada. Surely he's got the connections and it's easier to smuggle drugs into Canada.

Well I saw some calculations about going to colombia and the license to produce derivates is 300k .... and you are not allowed to grow without that license - it is like the mother license which is nessesary to apply for the rest of the licenses

Of course everyone can legal grow 20 plants and the Natives can grow whatever they want.

But $300k you know it's going to be nothing but cartels and foreigners getting licenses.

[snuicide]

every producer has to use 10% of cannabis growen by natives btw.
usually they are organised in cooperations who manage the contracts and licensing

well the market in colombia is still smal - two big players and some smaller ones when I did some research 3-4 Month ago

[hempernest]

Sorry for being so long without posting, i will try to give some answers.

We are located in cundinamarca region.

we are allowed to grow flowers, but we cannot sell them

There are several kind of licenses, we have now two, one for transforming and one for growing, transforming ones will be limited, growing ones will not.

10% of what we transform has to be bought to small growers (under 5000sqm)
