the way I look at it that would disadvantage people who are more efficient with their grows. By licensing by footprint there’s some control to the grow (vs weight where they could have hectares and producing small amounts per sq/m) as quota licensing has been abused in the past (and currently by the Victorian timber industry).

I see licensing happening by footprint, plant counts or both and personally I’d rather it by footprint to allow versatility in grow styles.

Under that, I’d rather by footprint too. Plant count imo is not good.

Imagine by foot print...multi level SOG on rolling tables, for the max output per year, and lower licensing costs.

I’d see footprint accounting for stacking so 1sq/m x 3 levels would be 3sq/m of grow area. Well that’s how I see it. Not so much the size of your facility but the actual footprint of your plants.

I thought i could grow a extremely large market garden and sell at the farmers markets with no licence. I must admit i havent looked into it but people sell lots of stuff like eggs and veg's, jams and flowers from road side stalls.

have thought about doing it on the front part of my block but lazy...

Mmmm, so under a footprint scenario everything’s going to be a critical mass or IB cross of some description. (No emoji for hands being thrown in the air).

Yeah, I’ll go back to per kilo per annum.

What is the licence fee right now for medical THC and how is it worked out?
From memory it was a shit ton and you had to have a contract with big pharma (like u do Poppies) and the non refundable application fee was also a shit load?

There’s a few different license types. Inc producer, manufacturer, reasearch, export, import, maybe others. Then you need a permit before you can even put a plant in your facility, which is you have to have a contract with a buyer. They don’t want the facilities doing mass storage.

There’s also no broad acre cultivation allowed like poppies.

not really. People will still want variety and quality. Per kg just means people will grow as much as they can as quick as they can, like why grow 12 week sativas in the same space I could run 8 week indicas. Or worse you grow your year’s license in 6 months.

licensing should be about regulating how people can grow ie the size of their operation, banned Chems/pesticides. How much your making for your license will be based on the market and surviving the market is what business is about.

Also means that the one with the control is the "buyer". They dont like ur price and ur replaced. But im guessing like poppies they will set the price, u dont like it then dont grow them.

technichally you’d be required to have food safety permits and what not.

Yeah, it’s a real thing with the commercial guys all trying to produce for the lowest $ per gram. Unfortunately like most farming the producers are the ones being screwed.

Geez, when a licensed guy I know says the ones making the big bucks in the game are plumbers and Sparky’s, I know being the primary producer is not where the monies at.

Do you think any of them do?

I’d guessing most would abide by their local council guidelines including getting relevant permits. Maybe the actual market gets a permit that covers all the vendors

edit: yep you definitely need various permits depending on state
