Ok so how the F do that know that? Surveys are only accurate if people participate and are honest. If somebody I didn't know asked me if I either smoked weed or grew my own I would lie my ass off

Well there is a method to their madness and therein lies the reason I hate statistics because your right 3 out of 4 times within 10% lol. Kinda of like polls before an election :).

Being a grower and being a successful grower are entirely different . If they counted just people who can grow enough to support themselves daily every year it would be nowhere near 1 in 40 more like about 1 in 5000 . Its not easy to grow dope and most people wont take the risk.
Cannabis is more popular than all other illegal drugs combined.

It's weed home boy. Third place is kinda built into growing. Easy peasy.

It is pretty easy, dude. Having done a few hard things in my life, I'm pretty sure of it, specifically on a grow-your-own scale. When it becomes a commercial op there's a lot more complexity, but growing a pound or two of dank for my head indoors takes a little bit of money and a fair measure of discipline. The level of knowledge required can be gathered in a matter of weeks, individual aptitudes may vary.

I'm not disrespecting masters of the craft, the folks take it to another level and really dial in every variable, I'm just saying it doesn't take all that much skill to have some respectable harvests. (and end up with results that make a lot of dispensary weed look stupid, mostly because of their turbo-cure times.)

this was kind of something me and a associate were talking about when doing some trimming. he once told me he would never stop growing, but recently told me: he might after almost 30 years be getting out of the game, "weedfllation" he calls it, and he will execute his exit plan.

he has spend the last ten years getting dual citizenship(to one of the hard nations you can) and learning a 2 second language. before I was born he was cropping-n-stacking.

and I quote "might as well get out while my dick still works" by my math, he can start and upper class life in an expensive country. you could never tell though, still drives that old blue chevy blazer, and same boots forever.

but it made me think, at the rate the value of cannabis is going, Id be lucky to retire in south America some-what comfortably.

I didn't start until 98, so I didnt really get a in on the BM boon. with power bills and laws changing in my short time, I have seen the price go down, never up. even now, I think the 15 per gram is artificially applied as the market standard, rather then a reflection then a commodity driven price.

this is mostly cause people cheat, in CA I think: if everyone did follow the rules and only sell CA grown product, we in CA would see much better transaction rates. but with ORE.WA states on our collective heads, and their laws allowing to bring a cheaper and quality product in to CA illegally it does not help.

good for the medical community to have the access but, it leave me wondering how long I can do this before its a waste of time.

Not sure of the market there but it's ok here lol. There's not enough doing top shelf so there's lots of demand. There is a flood of the stuff in the fall but it's a hit and miss quality thing. Pounds by quantity are 1500-2000 and have been for quite some time. I do hear what your saying though as I "heard" it got really tough to compete with the Colorado boys after paying shipping to go south. Well I think it was that, heard it all ended right around when the legal thing changed. It's my understanding that there is a shit load of product moving out of there heading east.
