Don't YOU think the prices of weed are insane?

I don't take them on a regular basis.
But they help me relax, and when I mix the high with weed (Killer weed), the high is an extreme body stone.
I like to throw in some Coil Windowpane, and just kick back into a trance.

cali has enough room to supply all the pot in america.

so yes, it's irrelevant.

There is a new Dispensary in Highlands Ranch, CO featured on channel 7 news in Colorado. All marijuana is of the highest quality indoors because thats what we like to medicate with! Only the best for our patients is the main aspect. We are also trying to become the cheapest for our quality only charging $50 an eighth for every strain! Isn't that exactly what you wanted to hear! We also have brownies for $5, suckers for $2 tinctures for $10 and jolly ranchers for $1!!!! All of these contain medical marijuana and are very potent. Give THE HATCH WELLNESS CENTER a call at 303 470 9270

those are shitty prices.

meh. like I said I"m done with this thread. until weed is legalized, apparently most of you wont recognize that the standard price for high quality should be dramatically lower. of course the best indoor bud is an exception but the majority of outdoor bud can turn out high quality and supply the majority of the population, so it makes perfect sense that weed prices should be dramatically lower.

sorry if quite a few of you can't see this.

If CA produces enough pot to supply the country, then why do we get so much of our pot from Mexico?

Outdoor growing isn't a realistic way to supply the country with pot, especially if it were legal. Can you imagine planting a lovely field of cannabis, only to have it pollenated by some nearby field of hemp and ruined? Or ruined because someone nearby failed to remove their male plants from their field?

A field of hemp can ruin a field of marijuana up to 7 miles away. THIS is why indoor growing IS necessary. Indoor growing preserves genetics, allows for cultivation of more potent strains, and eliminates environmental variables that can devastate cannabis crops.

Poplars, you're entitled to your opinion, but just so ya know - your opinion is wrong.

this is a good point but there is a way around it.

states could manage zones in which hemp farms could be grown, and zones in which cannabis farms could be grown. like I said, plenty of room in california.

so though this is a very good point and was almost good enough to singlehandedly kill my argument, the possibility of zones could easily stop this from happening. and there are plenty of places in california that could be strictly cannabis only.

weed should be mass produced and cheap as can be but in till legalization 300 for if you buy 10-100 for if you grow yourself or buy from grower

Okay, so I'll give you the whole "zone" thing. That *could* keep problems to a minimum, but you will also most likely always have some dumb kids who don't follow the rules as far as the "zones" are concerned. Not to mention the fact that there still exists feral hemp in the US, which can also pollinate with cannabis cultivated for recreational purposes and completely ruin the crop. There is no way to control where feral hemp grows. It won't conform to any zoning rules and it's damn near impossible to eradicate (just ask the DEA). Of course, feral hemp is a bigger problem in the midwest than anywhere else in the country - but the midwest is also where most of the farmland in the US is concentrated.

That being said, if cannabis growing were legal then the cost of running an indoor growing operation might drop - due to better methods being able to be developed without having to worry about the law.

Imagine an "indoor" grow that uses direct sunlight instead of artificial light, and doesn't require near as much odor control. Increased demand for indoor growing supplies could trigger a drop in prices, or spur more competition among manufacturers and retailers of growing equipment also triggering a drop in prices. Imagine government subsidies for cannabis growers not unlike what corn farmers receive. Legalization could very well make indoor growing a more viable, affordable way to grow cannabis.

There may be plenty of room in CA, but CA is like, super prone to natural disasters (mudslides, wildfires, earthquakes, etc). SO, if we relied on CA to supply all our cannabis there's a good chance we'd have to go without due to natural disasters. Kinda like Florida oranges, ya know? If there's a late frost in FLA the oranges are all fucked, which drives up prices of anything made from oranges because they are scarce. Also, you have to consider things like distribution, which costs money. Trucking a cannabis crop across country would be expensive, so buyers on the East coast would end up passing that cost onto their customers.

Again, I'm not totally discrediting your ideas, just pointing out some obvious fallacies. I think it would be great if all cannabis consumed in the US could be grown in the US, I just don't think CA is necessarily the best place to grow it all and I don't think indoor growing is frivolous at all. I think it's brilliant.

yeah of course. I just think the zone thing could totally work as there are plenty of places that are very remote and the likelyhood someone being a douche and doing that is low.

but that indoor/outdoor idea sounds like it could work very well. especially if it had 180 degree sun exposure.

and shit, if anything they could make a fence and have the cannabis farm start 7 miles away . sure costs a lot more but guarantee's no robberies or corrupted crops.

Still, there's the issue of feral hemp. It doesn't follow rules, and nobody wants their smoke crop to mingle with feral hemp.

it would be more work potentially, but it would save more money in the long run on the consumer and the cultivator.

poplars said:

yeah, the supply and demand argument is irrelevant too.

as we are in a black market system.

there's supply, there's demand, but theres NO competition.

therefore, this isn't simple economics at hand, this is black market economics.


I'm glad 5 people voted 150, but I"m disappointed 5 people voted 300+

I can't believe you guys actually believe that something that grows out of the ground is worth 300 dollars less than gold, which is 100 times harder to come by than marijuana.

seriously, the only reason this has happened like this is because it is illegal, those who sell for 300+ are taking advantage of a black market system, ripping off everyone.

they have no control, there's supply, there's demand, but theres NO competition.

Click to expand...

your right that this is a black market system, so we all pay different prices based on our location within the country. you happen to be in the epicenter of it all, so you laugh when those 5 people voted 300+....lmao trust me i know your laughing because im from florida. south florida where there is competition for california to supply the wholesale demand in the upper east coast. so i know about getting DANK for 300. but it seems those days are over now in florida because the demand of the entire east coast is too much.... so prices go up.

this is the same problem that is going on in cali. once everyone just wanted to supply the local market and dispensaries, but now the whole nation is in demand and many in cali have switched to supply this demand. they do this to make a larger profit margin, a much larger margin. when the wholesales men in nyc are paying the LOWEST 5,000 per elbow of dank like SOUR DIESEL, BUBBA KUSH, etc. then you get prices like 500 an ounce and MORE.

sooooo..... long story short. weed is a commodity even in a black market. so there is only two options... more producers need to come in (growers, and I mean big ops) or federal decriminilization. end of story.

and trust me on those numbers. i know niggas that know niggas mannnn!!! your favorite rappers smoke on my SOUR... trust me

there are more than two options. LEGALIZATION. that would essentially solve all these problems, only thing that people get sore about it is either them not being able to grow (VERY unlikely) or them not being able to over-charge with no justification.

the reason why it still hasn't really been pushed for in california is because the growers that partake in this black market lobby against legalization. my big homies are biting their nails over what ammiano is doing.

yeah they should be, they can't rip people off anymore if it passes.

and there's a good chance it will. and the reason it hasn't been pushed too hard in california is because they're lobbying and getting more support behind it before it really gets voted on next year. I'd say there's probably a good 65-75% chance that bill will pass.

Greenhouse's and Hepa filtration on the ventilation?

There is commercial hemp growing in Saskatchewan, let here from the hingeheads on this one.

where i live weed prices are 1g-30 dollars.thats too much 4 me i think.

uk here,im my area,£20 an eight,£25 if half good(never is anymore),so you pay about $40 at least for crap bud,the state of it here is terrible,just got a 1/4 of moudly looking wet shit,considering binning it its that fucking bad,cant wait to grow my own

its utterly pathetic cannabis is illegal,even alcholol must be manufactured and refinded,what fucking right do 'they' have to tell us we cant smoke and grow a naturally occuring herb,its complete madness,but the scum who control us like to drink their poison on the rocks too much,oh no those dirty marijuana smokers,what druggies,fetch me another scotch wont you jeeves,make it a big one.

fucking utter hypocrites,makes my blood boil

Marijuana SHOULD have no value bro. It comes from the fucking ground. The only reason it does have a value, is because our slave drivers ie the government prohibited it and forced it underground. Dupont, tobacco companies, alcohol companies, and another company i cant think of the name right now are the primary reason that it is still illegal. They funded all the fucking propaganda against a fucking PLANT, that has had sacred meanings from the beginning of time. Fuck the government, fuck the new world order.

ok that is definatly your own P.O
but i have another one, even if weed was to turn legal tomorrow there would definatly be a street or if legal a market value on it. reason being look at cigaretts you can go ahead and grow your own tobacco yet many people are going to buy it because the world is filled with lazy basterds who dont want to grow it.
yes prices would drop drasticly just look at the alchohol prohibition after it was RElegalized everyone got into the biz then eventually just started to buy it this goes along with the lazy baster theory of mine.

NOT BASHING your opinion just saying there is a reason for the value of something that comes out of the ground ect. do you eat produce ???
your not going to grow all of your veggies raise your animals and grow there food too .. along with the lazy basterd theory comes the area of simple convinience lol

peace and
