I don't care how the state cooks the books it will be a net loss. And a legal dispensary will never make it financially, so none of them are completely legal. Unless you grow your own you don't know what you're buying or even if it's gone through the inspection process and safe to use. Hint: It doesn't. None of the infrastructure is in place to enforce any of it.The town I live near just voted to allow dispensaries last April. The illusion of all the neat things they'll get with the tax revenue fooled 1 more than those against.?
A lot of misinformation in this post but it’s all good as it’s the internet ?I don't care how the state cooks the books it will be a net loss.

Every man lives but not every man livesI grew up in the 60s - 70s. Never tried the stuff because it didn't interest me. My first helo wreck was a direct result of folks growing pot south of Yosesmite. Bastards, they shot at us. Local SO took care of things. NV and CO both have legal pot. Most of the locals in NV don't care. Some of the locals near Saguache are beginning to figure out it isn't such a good deal. Kinda makes me wonder what the differences are.
Retired from the Navy and not a single tatoo because it didn't interest me either.
Single malt...well, I have a couple bottles on the fridge.
They shredded all their weed. They don't want the criminals. There is no money in locking up "Trimigrants"If they are back the next day should be easy to get them again. #beagoodneighbor
Many Californians moved to Oklahoma for that reason. Cheap land and ignorant local government.It was apparently Chinese organized crime here and up in Grand Junction. I guess they think because it’s been legalized people quit watching. I see where they are also In Oklahoma.
The legal pot grows do not approve of the illegal ones. Capitalism is the true universal tongue.

Hopefully you don't live downstream...You can not believe what it is like living next to a grow. 3 1/2 acre cartel grow got busted 400 yards from my place. They came in with a chipper and destroyed all the weed. Arrested a dozen or so people, they were out and back the next day. They are squatters on the property, the owner died a couple years ago. My understanding is the place is bank owned but with covid banks are ignoring this type of thing because it is to hard to evict people. Since the bust they have set fire to the house twice, completely burning it down the second time. Now they are in tents and trailers, the trash is piling up, and lord only knows where they go to the bathroom.
True...if I am going to get high, I am going to get REAL high. Teeth? Who needs them when when we've got a Blenders a mile from here.Pot is for kids. Meff is for real men.
Over a billion dollars a year in tax revenue? Someone‘s making money in the weed biz.The legal market is not working out all that well here in the Emerald Triangle. The natives are restless. Read some of the comments.
It would be like if I was a commercial fisherman and tried to compete with a bunch of poachers. I have regulations and a limited quota and they have free run to catch as many as they want and don't have any overhead. Right now only the fools are trying to grow legally. The State has no business making laws and regulations when they don't have the ability to enforce them.
RISING TAXES AND DROPPING PRICES: CANNABIS FARMERS GATHER IN SOHUM TO DISCUSS POSSIBLE ACTIONS
500,000 pounds of weed!! Those must have been in big bales.At a time when legalized marijuana sales are rising nationally, state police in Oregon last week seized 500,000 pounds of illegal marijuana in a bust outside Medford, Oregon, that they estimated had a street value of $500 million, police said.
Huh? Chinese Mafia in Grand Junction? I hadn’t heard.It was apparently Chinese organized crime here and up in Grand Junction. I guess they think because it’s been legalized people quit watching. I see where they are also In Oklahoma.

This one says it was mexicans. I could have sworn I read that they confiscated a ryder truck driven by Chinese nationals. Won’t be the last time I’m wrong today.Huh? Chinese Mafia in Grand Junction? I hadn’t heard.
Someone is making money. 1 billion in tax revenue and it probably cost CA 1.5 billion. Not counting the human misery and degradation society. Just my opinion.Over a billion dollars a year in tax revenue? Someone‘s making money in the weed biz.
Yah, I heard about some mexicans growing on islands on the Colorado river. Both upstream and downstream of me.This one says it was mexicans. I could have sworn I read that they confiscated a ryder truck driven by Chinese nationals. Won’t be the last time I’m wrong today.

Illegal pot farms a persistent problem in Southwest Colorado
Large and small illegal marijuana farms are a persistent problem across the state, including Southwest Colorado, according to a local sheriff and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The C...www.durangoherald.com
I always thought it was odd that very few grows get busted until harvest time and after it's packaged for sale. Then they swoop in and it magically disappears. I wonder how often this happens?The state gets no revenue from illegal grass. They'll probaby sell the confiscated stuff to the legal retailers now.![]()
Tks Homer..... Nobody’s ever spelled it out quite like Meryl an Willie.
I have no doubt some of it's true.I always thought it was odd that very few grows get busted until harvest time and after it's packaged for sale. Then they swoop in and it magically disappears. I wonder how often this happens?
That's pretty unusual. I wonder what happens to it?I always thought it was odd that very few grows get busted until harvest time and after it's packaged for sale. Then they swoop in and it magically disappears. I wonder how often this happens?

The Saga Continues: NBC Bay Area News Digs Deeper Into Allegations That Members of CDFW and the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office May Have Stolen Marijuana
They take a story we broke back in 2018 about Rohnert Park police officers stealing marijuana from growers traveling on Hwy 101 and expand into looking at two separate grow sites in the Mendocino County permit process that were raided. The three growers claim the raids were illegal.kymkemp.com
It goes up in smoke one way or the otherThat's pretty unusual. I wonder what happens to it?
I grew 2 outdoor plants last year and my wife hated the smell. She said no more....lol
Exactly. She wouldn't even open up the windows to the house. I was glad to get rid of them.She's not a fan of a dead skunk in the backyard?
I'm scheduled to go puke my guts out Saturday. Right now the forecast is for 7' swells every 13 seconds so it might not be too bad. It might take a ton of bacon to make that trade.eel, I’m not interested in going to pot but how’s the price of your bacon these days. Maybe the Mrs. would enjoy the smell of live bacon.
If not, the offer to swap bacon for Metacarecinus magister is still very much on the table. I’ll be available right after my hernia surgery in January........
I was thinking of growing some but can't find any seeds.eel, I’m not interested in going to pot but how’s the price of your bacon these days. Maybe the Mrs. would enjoy the smell of live bacon.
Oh ya, what a sacrifice.......... you have my up most sympathy...... NOT!I'm scheduled to go puke my guts out Saturday. Right now the forecast is for 7' swells every 13 seconds so it might not be too bad. It might take a ton of bacon to make that trade.![]()
Bacon seeds?I was thinking of growing some but can't find any seeds.
Mmmm, pigs are........... pigs, marijuana fattened bacon........ now that’s a market of unknown quantity ......Bacon seeds?![]()
I hate to tell you this, but that's a male pot. See the two little balls down by the handle? You better stick to bacon. I'll trade.
Geez, no wonder I ain't had much luck. I planted it two years ago, but it kinda just sits there.I hate to tell you this, but that's a male pot. See the two little balls down by the handle? You better stick to bacon. I'll trade.
