“I never mentioned Trump.”
I know. You dodged the question I asked about him in #29
President Trump has done more to facilitate marijuana in the states than all of FR combined. Is he a dupe of Soros, yes or no? Simple question.
Sure, just like the vast majority of Americans buy their pricey and taxed liquor from moonshiners.
Sorry, I’m not interested in pot and thus have no knowledge of what the President thinks about it.
But it doesn’t take much of a guess to think that people will be required to register, pay high prices, and have distribution controlled just like cigarettes.
“It is a Class 1 drug for a reason.”
Yes, because Nixon ignored his own commission’s recommendation to decriminalize it and made it so.
Apparently the cartels are doing quite well in states where it has been legalized.
The important thing to take away is that the accusation of being a Soros dupe or accomplice has been rendered impotent for the reason I stated earlier.
President Trump has already done more to facilitate marijuana in America than all of FR combined, and arguably, any President before him, including the last one.
See the 2 short You Tube videos in post #29 if you don’t believe me.
Since I never said, you did, you can render it any way you want for yourself.
Fair enough.
Here in NJ, where we’ve taxed many businesses out of the state, the new Dem administration insists legalized weed coupled with sports gambling will save us.
To think Europeans view us as “puritanical”; we’ve become a complete sh!thole.
Wow that is ignorant. With the tidalbwave of ruined lives let’s just call them weak, that will solve it. That and a few bullets.
Yet has drastically increased homeless spending at 40,000 bucks a pop annually. The true cost of pot taxes run very deep. The more you look into it and drill down past the layers of pro pot propaganda the more you realize you are drilling a water well in a cesspool.
Sorry if that was too harsh, but it was not ignorant. Addiction is a weakness. You succumbed to it.
Selling to states where it hasn't.
That and they undercut the prices. No taxes. No rigamorol. Apparently CA is their biggest market.
Yup.
“Why Colorado’s black market for marijuana is booming 4 years after legalization
“Marijuana grown in Colorado, the land of legal weed, is being smuggled out to states where it is still illegal”
And yet legal sales are substantial (at least in CO) - with every legal sale marking money out of the cartels' pockets. It certainly should be taxed even lower.
Marijuana is already wholesaling about 80 percent less than just three years ago due mainly to California coming in line legal for recreation
The amount of weed grown in California is astounding
I’ve seen downtown LA warehouse grows with 2500 lights
And orchid farms in Carpenteria with nearly 80 acres of marijuana greenhouses next to the old standard Orchids all managed by a tulip conglomerate from Holland
If Archer Daniels or Bunge or Cargill enter the business in. Big way if the Feds go legal which they will one day I can see them growing 25 percent THCA or better strains at no more than a few bucks a pound cost
The glory days of windfall weed money are coming to a close
Having a dispensary license is the key now
Or making oils and edibles
Even in tennessee we now have CBD shops selling leaf and eerls
Marijuana will within five years be completely a state to state issue
Man when I think about how many folks did so much time for it....in some cases thirty years
Folks here can hate pot all they want and even rarionLize it to some degree
But the sentences we have handed out for smuggling were just nuts after that 1984 sentencing guidelines which took effect in 1987
I had associates from Georgia ...just country boys ....a shrimp boat load of 15,000 pounds of Colombian weed
They all did 18 years federal time with no parole
They thought it was old law which woulda been maybe 24 months at s camp
The Black Tuna gang ....so called ...preppie Jewish boys from Philly got 30 years for two freighters and their snitch embellished and got off scot free and got paid too
Where do they get their lives back while Amsterdam Tulip grows 100 million a year in weed for California dispensaries and they got 30 years for the same thing...and far less money
I don’t think it’s a cure all and I think the strength is a mite high
It’s good for pain, nausea, glaucoma, and seizures so far.....and of course getting high
I miss it...I enjoyed weed once upon a time....but I also like women and that like brought responsibility in new lives I created plus wifeys
Thus ended my hedonism
But I do miss it
Now I got drug tests for insurance and pain management etc
Life’s a bitch ain’t it
Btw Cargill already has a facility outside Pueblo Colorado...it’s a turn key faciltiy they lease out to growers....you just bring your veg
There is one caveat to industrial grows....quality control is an issue on big operations and things can go south. And kill the whole crop....mildew and mites etc and you can’t just use normal gear to purge problems since folks smoke it or eat it
Especially if you advertise pure organic
As a kid I worked at Pipersky Nurseries in Chino and Ontario. Wonder if they’ve switched?
I was just out there...the hobo jungle flats between Alameda and the 101 just east of downtown at night just smothered in tents on sidewalks
A great restaurant Factory Kitchen is there
Anyhow all those old warehouses that are not yet hipster lofts are pot grows
2-5 acres indoor grows
If you see a lookout at the service doors night and day that’s it
Look at the skylights you can see the glow of the SHP lights
It’s incredible
Ditto greenhouses in the right micro climate
The old days of Humboldt and Arcata and Yreka and Trinity still exist but NorCal was about long outdoor seasons which still exists but it’s neen eclipsed
What was 3200 a pound in 2012 in quantity is now 800-1200 same quality
Their success will be their undoing
And hippies from Mendocino to Willlams and Cave Junction Oregon and all in between are going to go broke soon
And that all there is there since timber is so restricted
