In Ca, starting THIS year, it is legal for every adult (up to two per household) to grow 6 plants to maturity and to harvest/keep the proceeds of that grow.
It is also legal to carry and gift up to one ounce at a time to any other adult.
Six mature plants grown outdoors, in the soil, can produce up to 20 pounds of trimmed, clean marijuana buds.
There will be NO MARKET.
Why steal that which is free and has no market?
That’s the best aspect of these new laws. It kills BOTH the black market/crime element, but also the retail business.
The very same framework applies in Nevada.
ALL the money has been taken out of it. It’s like growing tomatoes.
BOL! “ALL the money has been taken out of it. It’s like growing tomatoes.”
This weekend, my wife with me doing the planting of her annual 6 tomato plants in her metal horse/cattle watering troughs filled with fresh soil and our own fresh compost.
We eat a lot of tomatos each year.
So, now we could plant 12 other plants legally with those tomatos.
I wish you were right. The cartels are thinking you are wrong. They are back to investing in pot grows. I guess they are thinking the same people that will pay $6 for a fast food dinner instead of making their own at home will pay street dealers for their hits rather than tend to their own plants, growing, watering, fertilizing, cultivating, drying, rolling, whatever.
Sad news because one benefit of legalization was to reduce the power of the drug cartels. Not only are they big in heroin again, now this.
