CA pot dealers nervous about lost revenue

Hard work will always be the way to a happy life. Be it growing cannabis or wheat. Keep up the hard work and all will go well.

@hundopoundo
Anyone in who enters any profession and thinks that it will stay stagnate is a moron who doesn't understand at all that fields of work evolve and to continue to work in a profession you have to keep up. Grow better weed, make more money. This is a well established market which is probably bigger than most estimates. Humboldt County could become the Amsterdam of the United States and I already call it the Madagascar of the United States. Shit. I love this place :D Only grow-tards and solely profession dealers will be affected by the legalization. And to what extent? Probably not much. No matter what happens, the weed flows up here...

Legalize it for those who have been jailed and lives ruined.

I would prefer a headline "California cannabis growers". The existing headline sounds written by a drug warrior.

Dreamdust, are you serious? Drive down any road in rural Humboldt and behind every other gate is 20-200 pounds. There may be a similar amount of indoor weed in the bay area, however there is significantly more greenhouse and outdoor in Humboldt. Per capita there is a ton more weed grown up north of Marin.

Anyone who thinks big business is getting involved is silly. Federal laws against cannabis will be enough to keep large corps from entering the business. Eventually any law will works its way to the supreme court and struck down. RJR won't touch this with a ten foot pole, they are a Deleware corp and weed is not gonna be legal there anytime soon

Mom and pop will continue to grow 45 pounds a year and make a six figure income. The highest quality product will remain valuable because the market will demand quality.

Anyone bought an 1/8th in Vancouver or Amsterdam? It ain't cheap and it never has been. Get over the fear and come to grips with the fact that a smart marketing plan and exceptional weed will be worth money.

Does the microbrew industry suffer because they only control a 8.2% market share? Do high-end cigar makers suffer because costco sells Basic-brand cigarettes? Do the top-level wines like Opus One or Lafite-Rothschild suffer because E&J Gallo plant the central valley with crappy grapes? Each one of these industries can sell products at 10-1000 times more than the baseline.

If you want a $300 pound of weed, you can buy it already. It is called Mexi and most of the nation is well-acquainted with the lowest quality product.

If your weed cannot be differentiated from mass-produced crap you may have a problem. If you grow specialty-grade cannabis, welcome to business you will do just fine. Chicken little, the sky is not falling!

@inevitable:
You are soo right!! I also prefer the dangerous and unreliable services of a shady Mafia-run business over the checked and certified goods of a legal vendor!

I mean, where is the thrill in buying legal pot in a friendly shop? Also, where is the adventure, when pot can no longer be cut or laced with glass dust and other crap?

FUD article. As someone who has lived in Humboldt county for a good portion of my life, there's no more pot being grown here than in the Bay Area. Humboldt's reputation of pot mecca is largely self-imposed.

@inevitable:
You're so scared of corporations that you'd rather have people locked in cages for producing and consuming Cannabis? Honestly, stick your political apathy in your pipe and fucking smoke it.

.....still better than ppl being imprisoned for it.......

So ppl r' finally noticing the worst thing that could happen is to legalize the sh*t. Now big companies are going to run things. The last Mom and Pop bizz is gone. Keep yr seeds ppl. Watch as they disappear when it becomes legal for recreational use.
