Agreed one plant per yard
You don't even smoke weed and are telling me I should only be allowed one plant now??

That's reality, they're not some bumbling fuckwits. And even if they were some of us would be good enough to take over the market. There is no substantive industry that is dominated by mom and pop shops.
I hope that the free-open-market attitude towards cannabis production and sale is reflected within the laws, to encourage the smaller grower, if he/she wishes to continue with or create a business, without bogging them down with too much red tape and taxes.
Most growers just grow for themselves, and perhaps a couple of patients or friends as well.....I don't see that changing.
This.
There's literally billions at stake here...no reason the wealth can't be shared at least a little bit.

What would you know about if i smoke or if i do not smoke and at the end of the day what business is it really of yours ? .
kinda sounds silly lots of people grow it and do not smoke it.
an many people grow 1 plant, or thousands
but lets put it in perspective the average med prescription is 1 - 3 grams per day lets use 3 grams per day
a person grows one plant and harvests 7 pounds how far will that carry him in meds
454 x 7 =3178 dry grams divide that by 3 grams per day 1059 days
lets use 30 days a month figure 90 grams smoked per month or 35 months of meds wow new meaning to growing weed for your self
one word endless supply of your own meds
But todas grower is also about and lets be honest suplimenting there income .
Because why ? well there on some disability gov program Aish ?? that pays pennies a day
Everybody wants this but when it comes tax time they feel they should be exempt .. because the world or Gov owes them something .
Kinda a double standard don't you think we scream because corporation some how find loop holes and get away from paying taxes and we scream there crooks and it should not be allowed
I live and do grow in a illegal country , that i hope changes to legal and yes even one plant i will be happy with an trust me have grown thousands of plants at one time .
In my time
But that is another story .
I think growers would shit if they could track there pounds and see which hands it eventually lands on what crimes may or may not have used with it ..
Then when it comes to Federal laws everyone screaming about personally? the ones screaming for it surely are not the ones happy to grow there 6 - 12 plant limit ..
Its the ones growing over the limit and being saved when they move the pounds to other states where they can fetch a pretty penny..
This is what its really all about
Anyone thinking other wise is a fool .. But hey who would ever think that if or when it does get taken off the federal schedule list,
Might just back fire in your faces
Because now Who knows Countries like Mexico , Cuba and Canada start flooding your states with cheaper just as good MJ and driving your prices down because you allowed competition to enter ..
Think about ??
This is why i say leave it your better off cause trust me the above will happen .. why the hell do you think USA and Cuba all of a sudden become friends again lol for the cigars ?
And if we look at Walmart as a example who in there right mind is going to pay 120 bucks for made in usa Jeans when you can get the same quality but 5 more pairs of jeans for that price.
So it will eventually be god dam same as it always been you come up with a great idea yet it slips away and becomes made in another country and sent to you ..
Again these are just my views and like any member can express his views aslong as he is not attacking anyone in general
and like i said you will of had the mj industry in your hands and let it fall from your hands an trust me be much cheaper to grow in countries like Mexico, Cuba etc
And many growers that started business will go bankrupt because of it
This little thing called greed and control, they are 2 very good reasons for some to not want to let everyone have a small slice of pie!
It is taking place right now in some states.
Like 1-2 growers for the whole state....boy wouldn't it be nice to get a piece of that billion dollar pie.
Who knows?..Maybe the federal government will start putting out 'Hemp for Victory' films again, just like they did in the 1940's, and growers can be subsidized and encouraged to grow the plant once again?

Is Marijuana The New Cash Crop?
Bob Dillard noticed something important, I think, that also happened on November 8 concerning marijuana legalization:
"At what point do we begin recognizing the tremendous number of our fellow citizens who now can use a cash crop that is transforming the economies of Colorado, Oregon, Washington and now over 12 percent of the population in California, plus Massachusetts, Nevada, Maine as well as Florida, North Dakota. It's clearly a growth industry with a giant upside that will only continue to grow."
Bob, you make a great point. Recreational and medical marijuana measures passed in numerous and varied states. I do not think this is going to become a big money maker for ordinary farmers..
There is simply too much money to be made to be ignored by big business. States will likely encourage this industrialization to simplify regulation and maximize tax revenue. I support legalization, but don't expect it to save many family farms.
THIS WAS STATED IN 2012If it is legalised that ability to own the means of production will be taken away.
Big business will take over and the backyard grower will not be able to compete.
Big business with their campaign donations and contacts with government will also be able to have backyard growers legislated out of the picture so they have a monopoly.
Recreational and medicinal cannabis may not be a boon to the average farmer, but hemp sure as hell would. And even then...don't sell these people short; it wouldn't take but a 30'x100' hoophouse normally used for wintering hardy greens easily converted for a more profitable use, using the same techniques utilized in many other facets of their business.
Unfortunately, small farmers, regardless of what they grow are at a disadvantage which is a shame. Small businesses in general fae an uphill battle, especially those that supply us with our food.
Freedom like tomatoes!
