I can see it turning back probably to the way it was back in the Bush era. All speculative , like the whole thread, but, the fox is watching the hen house again lol
But seriously even if the feds don't like weed, they will have a hard time making convictions. They will probably lose their cases if they try to prosecute people like Steve Deangelo. They would have to find a jury that would convict and I don't think that would be doable for them.
Again in pure speculation, I can very well imagine them doing smash and grabs, breaking down big ops, and in general making marijuana businesses miserable. Also I can't imagine them lightening up on tax code 280e which is literally taxing these legal ops to death.
As a producer and a business man, I really don't see a price decline anytime soon, again pure speculation. Perhaps prices will rise, and I remember the good ole 4k elbows under the Bush era lol <<< with even the little airy buds thrown in lol
We've evolved a but since then. The only thing acceptable now is pure fire. It is a hard sell for anything else. The market demand is for top shelf strains grown to their potential, grown to be like candy.Anything less or the smaller lower buds just get pressed into rosin.
Anyhow good luck for everybody. I think we have some very good years ahead of us . Some of us may have to make some changes and adapt, but the bottom line is people want fire and they are going to get it wether its legal or not and wether the gov likes it or not, and wether if it comes from the shop , or if it comes untaxed from the guy with the flavor of the week that they just happen to know.
