Let Freedom ring and reign!

I'm assuming it will be a supreme court decision that will have to decide it . Wouldn't this be a states rights issue? Or is it just the dubious class 1 narcotic classification that would be challenged ? Or do you decide what what to go by who's on the court now ? Obama could just do an executive order changing the classification.

Yeah, I think you need to read up on his and Pence's stance on Legalization of Weed.

A lot of tax bills on pot passed to.

Pot is dumb, and taxation is theft.

Prop 64 in CA. As I said, I voted for it.

It's no worse than alcohol which is legal, regulated, and taxed. The people who are going to smoke it are already smoking it. Maybe some more try it and some continue to use it and some don't...

An added bonus: Since a person can buy it in the store now, and grow 6 of their own plants, legally... the cartels just lost a lot of money. Of course, that money just went to another 'cartel'... the state of California in the form of taxes.

6 plants under 500 watt hps would yield, at best, 12oz maybe?

If you sold those to a dispensary you'd be looking at $200/oz at most...

That 500 watt is gonna run you $100/ month at least so that's 2 ounces gone... soil and nutes will probably run around $400 all in... that's 4 ounces gone...

Plenty of other costs ... and Trimming is a bitch... runs $10/hr to have it done... if you made $1000 after all that you'd be lucky... but you wouldn't be high...

One (1) plant can yield up to 1 pound of product. Once you have invested in a grow system, it can be used over, and over again thus reducing the personal cost. It is a lot of work, but many feel safer growing their own. They know what chemicals and fertilizers are being used, and don't have to worry about being tracked by the guberment when visiting a dispensary.

Plus you need a special license to grow and sell to the dispensaries. Depending on the strain, dispensaries charge approx $400/oz. or $15-20/gram.

You're more likely to get a pound growing indoors hydroponically in approx 12-15 weeks from a clone, than in dirt outdoors taking up to 6 months to mature. Technology has really advanced with lighting, CO2 delivery, aero and hydro systems, etc. over the old ebb & flow systems with fluorescent grow lights popular in the 70-80's. Most grows use a combination of dirt and hydro as they need to quickly turnover and produce new product. Many argue if there's a difference in potency between being grown in dirt over hydro.

The 6 plant restriction is for personal use. If you acquire the license to grow for a dispensary, the number of plants allowed will increase. Many farmers are finding they can make a lot more money per acre growing MJ compared to traditional food crops.

for 6 plants??? You're gonna run a no2 co2 hepa-in charcoal-out hydro system for 6 plants? I've grown for many years... a pound per plant is so uncommon it's nearly impossible... if you pumped your nutes up to incredible levels - ungodly amounts - and then ran enough watts to basically bankrupt you through pge, then maybe you could do it...

outdoors, you've got the sun... that's the only way to get that much light on a 6 plant set up without going in the hole on electricity...

The problem here is our measure last year legalizing specified state tax only, and this years bills that passed were county and city taxes. So the anti pot voters passed something that will cost lawsuit $. Stupid voters.

^maybe outdoor, maybe green weight... 1 lb per plant dry weight indoors, again, is so unheard of it's nearly impossible... I could link to a thousand places...

There is no freaking way you're getting that yield!

also, you're not a dispensary, so you're not getting that $400/ounce... $200 maybe... maybe...

My job precludes me from participating. Our general orders state that we are to obey all state and federal laws... so until it is legal in the whole US, or until I quit my job or retire... it does not matter to MACS, the person.

Additionally, the 6 plants are for personal use. It would be illegal to sell it without the proper license to do so. So the dispensaries that are now peddling it as medical will soon be selling it as recreational... for a fee, of course.

Fair enough lol... those are always hilarious...

bob and Tom (old morning radio show) told a story once about a couple of guys who grew some terrible pot... so bad you couldn't smoke it... so they dropped it all into the return slot at the local library...

They said the funniest part of the whole thing was the 6-figure amount the authorities placed on the bud...

All in all i think we can both agree it's nice to live in states where we don't have to worry about going to jail over pot... maybe living in Oklahoma will be nice someday too...

Thats just like your opinion...man

In reality, $200/oz is common for dispensaries. Due to the 1 ounce buying restriction, the majority of sales are for smaller amounts - $7 joints, $15-20 grams, $25 eights, $50 quarters. And since it is easy to get from the dispensary, most users don't bother with trying to properly store multiple ounces/pounds but instead choose to buy the freshest newest product available. A little sativa for the day, some indica for the night, and a nice wax to totally chill.

The other thing I noticed about the fourm link you offered, many agree 1lb/plant is possible. But the big thing that was overlooked was using the entire plant - not just the final processed flower for smoking. Trimmings are used to produce butters, oils, and other edibles. Some folks use the ground stalks and stems in compost, mulch, or mix it with soil.

Well stated.

Who?

I didn't vote for measure 91 here last year because it involved the state facilitaton of the program. I warned my pot head friends, now they're not as thrilled as they were last November.

It's should be no one's business. Now if you were to drive or operate machinery impaired that would be another matter. FWIW, I lean libertarian and believe that all drugs should be legalized, medical or recreational.

Sure!

Carl might be... I'm not for sure... been around a lot of impressive set-ups and growers...

but the grows are nothing compared to being around the wax process... Whooda thunk butane and pot would go so well together...

See, and on this issue we see the states using their intended rights to thumb their nose at the Federal government entities. All they want to do is monitor what you see and send, pat you down at airports and sporting events, tell you what you can and can't do and raise taxes.

Once a state starts seeing the revenue stream from it...there's no stopping them. Look at Colorado! I'm so proud of them. Now California is in the fray. That's going to open some badly needed relief, if they can use it for good and not spend it all before they get their hands on it!

Why, I dare say this could very well spell the beginning of the end for the endless creep of power from Washington DC!




Smoke 'em if ya gots 'em!

Yup.

Legal pot, bringing people together... it's a good thing...

Got all my info from reading the MJ Ad Page in our local newspaper. MJ is used more often, and by more people than tobacco here. It's also taxed A LOT less than tobacco.
