$5 a gram on the bm or $20+hst from a store... Yup the bm is doomed! Lolololol how's that working in the legal us states? Don't think any bm dealers were put out of business.

And here lies the problem who will want to sell and grow weed if there is not enough profit in it? The farms will want at least $2 per gram, gov tax say 30-50%, retail will want to make 100% so you're looking at least $5 per gram. oh yah PST+GST so $5.60 so $157 per OZ. BM can live long and prosper at $100 per oz, it'll just change and it'll be smaller growers selling it themselves and still making $1600 per LB.
the only way I see to prevent this is to literally make it a free for all. The only rules that are needed are no sales to minors and maybe what pesticides that are allowed. Other then that all any other restrictions are doing is keeping the bm alive and well. Collect gst pst like they do on almost everything else and then they win. Otherwise it's just going to be a total failure. I know what I've said will never happen so it's doomed to be a shitshow. Fb, kijiji ect will be the new bm marketplace IMO.

I donno...I'm sure the moonshiner's said the same thing, but how many folks do you know still making a living from cooking moonshine? It will never completely disappear, but it will gradually become insignificant. When there is a legal source and an option to grow your own, unless the product is priced ridiculously cheap, people aren't going to buy from Johnny selling bags from his basement, imo. Some people aren't going to like it, but the days of making a career from BM growing are numbered. Some will have saved enough they can start a legit business and the others can get paid well for their talents. Years of being a covert grower and having the cops and gov as your enemy is going to be hard to transition from, but it's all part of the cannabis industry growing up and normalizing.
out of business..
Its 10 fold what it was two years ago...and growing!
one only needs to look at what D's C's and LP's are selling for...
Only difference is. OUR FEDS ARE PART OF IT NOW!

I agree with the point youre trying to make. However making moonshine is far more complicated and dangerous than growing cannabis. Growing cannabis can be taught to anyone with little effort and has a low overhead to do so
You fuck up moonshine and you can poison yourself and others. Fuck up growing cannabis, and you kill the plant, MAYBE pull off a real abismal harvest at best
So the number of people growing is more likely to increase as most who have any type of gardening knowlege can manage after a few tries, or even have descent results on their first go

Personally I don't think there will be that many people who will grow their own after legalization. You'll see the first year people doing it a lot but only because of the novelty factor after the novelty wears off you'll see it go back to those who always grew and a few hobbyists like guys who run salt water tanks or living tanks or orchids etc..

I have spent the last 5 years showing actual MMAR patients how to grow. Alot of them just don't have the patience or time to run a multi-room perpetual harvest.....let alone have a single large crop to last them all year.
Let's face it with all the HYPE and misinformation out there these days, growing marijuana indoors at home is not a viable option for MOST people. (Patients or not)
Outdoors however is a different story all together!
PS. When did you get back HIPPY? You dirty goat spanker
Awwe did you and Sunni have a "POW wow"? Ha-ha jk Sunni don't temp ban my azz!

And as far as Marc Emery and his (anything but) loving wife.
It's all a farce. Marc Emery is as honest as FOX news.
I personally watched him manipulate my 14 year old cousin into being his "sidekick".
Marc Emery needs a kick to the side...in my opinion...
Look for him on Creep Catchers dot see eh

That, imo, has to be an option for patients and rec users. It's easy,cheap and eliminates fire or mold hazards. Our climate is an issue, but most should be able to get at least one crop/year...make it big!

Maybe in rural setting, but backyard grows won't fly in the burbs....IMO. Think clothesline bylaws, or the dude in TO who built his treehouse to tall. MJ is not a nice smell to everyone, and municipalities will always say you can't annoy neighbors.....and don't forget the save the children BS!
