Banned, I believe, and rightfully so.
Butwang is mia......
But Jhhnn you are guilty of a similar violation.... action not becoming of a ICMAG member..LOL
What ya say we all play nice.....Yea!......cool!
shag
Ugh, how else would a state like NY have passed any sort of medical bill...? State medical marijuana without federal legislation is a cesspool for political gain and corruption...That's exactly what is going on right now...It gets worse before it gets better.
I think it is possible to see $100 oz.'s of top shelf if it growing in every yard across the USA. (still dreaming here right)

While we may disagree, neither of us could possibly sink to the butwang level of trollery. Rude & dishonest as your above remarks may be, they're not even close.
He made scurrilous accusations of narking about a prominent member. He then re-asserted them when called on it by the mods, deliberately & repeatedly provoked them in a conversation now deleted.
I just happened to catch it going by. I hope I haven't violated any sort of code in relating that to you. If I have, I apologize in advance.
$100 *kilos* is more like it, if that.
There ain't shit fer money in growing totally legal & unregulated marijuana. Well, other than actual agricultural scale operations & the guys selling the seeds, clones & seedlings at the garden center every spring. Indoor growing would be preposterous, a complete waste of money.
I would argue that BUYING pot is the complete waste of money.
It takes me about $200 in electricity per month to run 3K of hps and from that expense I can produce far more than $200 worth of smoke. $200 spent in a retail shop (less than 1/2 z including taxes)...I'd be back next week for more. Um...no thanks. been there, done that...all through the 70's-80's...
But yeah...the profit side has taken a hit. Thing is, other than the above electric bills and nutes/etc....I haven't bought pot for over 25 years. Some of these folks will spend their 401K's in those shops on expensive/overpriced weed. A novelty here...like Amsterdam was....but certainly not the only way to fly.
My indoor will stay. Doing outdoor for the first time this year though to test the water on a new chunk of property we bought last Summer we are gonna retire on. (and grow lots of bushes on in the future). Secluded...private...etc. Hopefully they will finish without incident. (bugs or rippers)
And LOL...seeds and clones sold? They wanna sel lyou POT FOR LOTS OF MONEY....gonna guess...like the med side...that they will figure out QUICK that if they sell clones they won't see those folks back in store buying their $500 bags. and the clone availability will dry up as it did on the med side ...so think again if you think yer gonna walk in and step out all set up with top noth genetics/etc. (or any genetics without RA's, mites/PM as well)
Idealistic...but not realistic, IMO. This is a BUSINESS, not a party anymore.
The Gov't and a certain >privileged< faction of our population wants to make the same money many pot growers have been making for decades.
So yes, it is about the $$$ for the business folks getting into all of this en masse' and LICENSING, just as it is ALL about the $$$ for many growers here who have a "love" for this plant (love = money in this instance). LOL.
Corrupt or not...(and it is) the train has already left the station....and without a doubt folks here had better have other skills to fall back on for the future >other< than merely growing/selling pot or they are gonna get a HUGE wake up call like never before.
I've never said otherwise is what's so funny.
folks need to see that the business side is something they weren't included in/will not be included in unless they have business-sized financial backing and a strict business sense.
It's a tough pill to swallow...but folks had better choke it down and move on and make THEIR OWN PLAN or they are gonna get ass-fucked by the corporations in the future.
to put it bluntly, corrupt or not, big business is moving fast while all of us are sitting here typing....

I was commenting on the "pot as legal as tomatoes" scenario, not legalization as it stands. If pot were as legal as tomatoes, it'd behave the same way as tomatoes in the marketplace.
Buying it would be cheaper than growing it indoors, at any quality level. And it'd always be available.
But foolish people still grow tomatoes....I wonder why?
You're right that it'll be tough keeping the money in it even at CO legalization levels. I figure they have to let some of it out to get bottom line retail weed prices below current med prices. I see it as inevitable. eed prices would need to be extremely low to force out well capitalized ventures who figure out what they're doing.
