Interesting NPR story about Cali bud getting shipped out of state.
Lol.. about half way down the comments there is a post that says "https://www.icmag.com/ic/ All the knowledge you need, with plenty of helpful and knowledgeable people to ask if you have problems. You're welcome!" by an unknown person getting the word out
If you don't think the Yakuza have got that wired by now in their backyard then dream on. Met someone about 10 years ago and had a set of golden chrysanthemum pins. Unfortunately Japan refused him entry once he landed again because of a minor US canna 'crime'. Those pins gave him a free ride once. Good luck in JapanPounds of premature indoors going for 15k in Tokyo Japan..retail 30k after breakdown lol...showed some smokers pictures from the outdoor Cali thread and jacks warehouse and blew their mind...especially when they heard u can get good stuff for 2k out here
So... how many years till this all bottoms out?
I feel like The sudden surge in people that began growing only meant there was also a sudden surge in people selling shitty genetics and watering the entire gene pool down. It seemed when less people were growing 8-10 years ago it was actually easier for me to get better genetics as there werent as many around. Look at all the ogs of today. there's so many that tracking down that dank ass SFV or Tahoe or larry is a pain in the ass. Only once I started messing with people that shared the same passion for my line of work did I begin to have access to a whole "upper echelon" of genetics. Finding those people is hard but thankfully if you know where to look its alot easier.
Who the fuck here is gonna stop growing because they can't afford a permit?
You can not regulate when there is a thriving black market
How much does it cost you to produce a pound? $400-$600? Once property and infrastructure are paid for then what does that number look like?
Currently I'm see the norcal market the same as last year. That is a bottom out? No? I do expect it to drop but only with major changes in the law here and in other states.

If you're not getting it done in your backyard then dream on.valid point, i do feel that legal pot will be over-taxed and that will always create wiggle room for cheaper black market pot, only way that changes is if they allow open outdoor farming that will drastically increase supply and crash legal prices....everytime i drive through norcal's vineyards and orchards im reminded that there are MANY very experianced farming folks in our state and if they could grow legal pot they would probably be more capable than your average grower with 5 acres and a well....they already own most of the fertile AG zoned farmland in CA, they already have important infastructure in place like processing plants, distribution, farm management teams to grow crops etc etc
i agree with you for most part but most of them are into other cleaner rackets, pot is small time and dirty, their definately waxing points here and there but most of the dirty work is done by small timers and independent folks..but yeah some gaijin showin up with even 1lb of herb will attract bad attention...then you might end up in a dark room in kabuki-cho lol... but in my experience its not yaks involved in small time pot shit mostly independent folks and gutsy foreigners...the pot crowd is surprisingly small over there meth and X are more common...people in japan gotta hide indoors and smoke on the low-low..but this threat aint about japan so il just leave it at that. i guess my point is that if youre hurting for cash in a post-legal market crash scenario, you can always smuggle hash or X into any asian country and make a killing! (or be killed...)
this oughta bring prices back up!

It will be very interesting to see, if it ever happens, to the price of cannabis when it can be grown as openly and freely as tomatoes.gray market prices seem very difficult to apply simple supply and demand economics too.
Fileds of ganja as far as the eye could see is what I would like to wake up to one day.Hello all,
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow.

The market will resemble every other commodity crop. Cost to the consumer will plummet, profit margins for the producer will plummet, variety will plummet but availability will skyrocket.It will be very interesting to see, if it ever happens, to the price of cannabis when it can be grown as openly and freely as tomatoes.
