The Coming Pot War
For your interest.
The President does favor trade.
I can’t wait for the day everyone around me is higher than a kite.

Thanks for the ping!
I support the legalization of cannabis for adults to use recreationally & medicinally if they so chose.
I’m not concerned with Canada’s cannabis business at this time. Perhaps after the federal prohibition is lifted & states can decide for themselves whether cannabis should be legal or night I will feel differently.
Or we can produce vehicles, aircraft, steel, etc. And Canada can produce wildwood flower. I wonder how long the weed boom will last once the DIY crowd discovers just how easy it is to grow anyway.
I am for medical marijuana in the cases of epilepsy, alzheimers, PTSD, autistic children and for cancer patients. Texas has only allowed it for children with epilepsy with mega restrictions. Hopefully this session they will allow more conditions. I never expect our legislature to go for recreational pot, but I know kids with autism need medical marijuana.
With several US states making personal growing in one’s own backyard legal, I question whether there IS a “Cannabis Industry/Market”.
Just no longer relevant.
“I wonder how long the weed boom will last once the DIY crowd discovers just how easy it is to grow anyway.”
The CA “Industry” dies with this fall’s harvest.
I would wager that at least a million people grew at least 1 pound each. You can hardly drive through any neighborhood without smelling it.
It’s funny all these unforeseen unintended consequences
California just went major clamp down on outlaw industrial growers especially in LA county
$$$ going back up
I’m guessing 100-150 tons per month now off the market
Lows for boxes were down to around 600-800
Now back up to 1300-1500
A box is 100 pound lot
It’s fascinating to keep up with this ..
To me anyhow
Thst lowest price means modern high grade California warehouse grow lights bud was cheaper than Colombian bale weed from the late 70s
600 in 2018 versus 250-400/ pound in 1977
Crazy
You can grow tobacco in your back yard too, but I don’t see lots of people doing that. Most will choose convenience over cost. What I do see as the big trend are value added products, concentrates, vape and edibles.
Look to England and the epidemic and failure of Cannabis. For the most part, the Cannabis push is a big scam. I just want government out of it altogether.

I can’t see it being any worse than alcohol personally. I do think the product is wayyyyyyyy overhyped though. It certainly helps some people medically, but some of the promises the extreme marijuana supporters make are ridiculous (i.e. astronomical economic growth, “tax the hell out of it” government income, cancer cures, dogs and cats living together).
I’m curious to see how the beer producers respond to legalized marijuana ... they’d probably be the ones to suffer from another recreational drug on the market.
The drug alcohol has been legal for generations - but not everyone around me is drunker than a skunk.

If someone is drunk there is a breathalyzer. There is no test for pot. And yes, alcohol is legal but now there will be the additional stoned idiots.
Maybe Trump will tell them that pot companies are the one exception he will make as far as being good with them moving out of country...

If a pack of smokes cost $150, everyone would grown their own tobacco. Or buy it on the black market for $100.
