Congratulations I'm jealous. Sucks growing isnt legal without card but it will come. The more states legalize the path will become easier for others. Soon we will all get there!

Thanks, you are one day closer, its coming .... keep the faith .....

They had to give up the grow at the last minute but at least it is an infraction if caught and no judge is gonna issue a warrant for an infraction - keep grow on side and you should be ok, jus don’t exceed five pants.

I think the average weed man has nothing to worry about for a year or 2 until prices drop. Even with the quality I don't think any average dealer charges this high since alot still go west. The edibles seemed fairly priced but I'm not an edible expert. 100mg for 25 in some things?

Yeah, My Guy has been growing the past 6 years and though it’s taken some time and many mistakes but he has really dialed in his grow/dry/cure. He has a professional/corporate job IRL but he also has a small clientele that are also professionals that want higher quality.

Glad you had safe trip ..... My Chicago Guy is not worried in the least - and he says Biz is better than ever, I just yaked with him the other day so all good in “free market” (I like that phrase btw) ......

Growing is very relaxing, I absolutely love it and when you get to Chicago look me up when you start growing, I’ll help ya if you like, if you go organic and even otherwise - Good luck on your new house!

Oh I completely agree with you, My Guy is just being a nervous Nellie. :smoking: On a side note, He’s got a corporate management day job in the food service industry, he’s been growing the past 6 years to stop paying for herb and to have a hobby that can give him some extra income to raise his two little ones.

Oh man, I will definitely hit you up, thank you very much! Would love to pick your brain in pm’s, I’ve been researching various methods of growing and have been blown away by several posters. @slowandeasy ’s threads and his various methods of growing has been extremely helpful! Especially after reading several posters that have worked with autopots, blu mats, different mediums, different nutrients from bottled to organics, the different types of plant training, etc. But once you, slow and others started having these conversations converge on probiotic, LOS farming with SIPs... Things really started to come together for me in terms of efficiency, sustainability, top shelf quality and also getting back to growing loads of vegetables, herbs and fruits that I think My Parents would love. I am going through vegetable/herb seed catalogs this week to get that rolling too! So, I’m sure we will have lots to talk about... And it would be f’n brilliant to meet up in Chicago and talk shop. I’ve got loads of friends in the Restaurant Industry and would love for us to go have a great time. Really appreciate you MOB. Thank you!!

I’ll stop highjacking this thread but I just want to express that it’s been one hell of an education here and elsewhere... Can’t thank this community enough for sharing their first hand knowledge. Anyone reading this should feel appreciated whether we’ve communicated or not.

PS:Thank you @MrOldBoy for wishing me a great Veterans Day. That meant a lot to me man, thank you Sir! (I didn’t answer in that thread because I didn’t want to further derail it.)

Those freakin taxes though! They get you coming and going. They are taxing their own product. I think they are being a bit greedy imho. The governor seems to think it’s going to fix all the states money problems. It’s not fair to cannabis consumers to have to pick up the tab for all the mismanagement and debt that has built up for years. Also they don’t tax alcohol by the proof do they.? It’s a start but it’s also a big mess. Simple greed was the motivation not compassion or personal liberties.

Taxes are too heavy. I don't agree with the taxing method at all. They'll soon realize 86 dollar grams of shatter will just sit on the shelves.

 

[MrOldBoy]

No taxes on grow your own with medical card or $200 if busted - it’s a good start - doubt I will buy any.

Not sure if you guys have noticed or not but the bottom has fell right out of the Canadian cannabis market as of late.
Most stocks are down over 75%. The legalization is a big fail as far as the $$ generator they thought it was gonna be.
Most can be directly contributed to the legal distribution and costs affecting the sales.
