Your right . Good point.
Just saying, nice that a tourist in SoCal is just a phone call away.
But like I said, what quality / chems? The deals that text in are reasonable IMO.

Shit, that's only about 12%. Average price per oz in Ohio.... $538.00 Mostly tax. A grower here must pay $200,000.00 PER YEAR in tax (license fee) to grow.
Black market is flourishing here and the dispensaries are empty.
Greed is the worst sin. Lust is my favorite.
It's $400 in PA, if you can find it (at dispensary). The last 3 or 4 months, there's only been 5 or 6 days each month when flower shows up. I'm an hour away and it's sold out before I get there most of the time. No recreational here yet.

Can anyone provide some insight on whether or not it makes sense to get a cultivation license in CA?? If anyone with a license could tell me, are they happy they did, do they regre it, do they suggest current growers to do it?
That % fed tax is just the start. Look at what CA thinks inflation is running:
" For example, the tax on an ounce of dry buds will climb to $9.65 from $9.25, an increase of just over 4 percent."

It was a fun place to grow up, but got crowded and expensive, so I left. In 1979.
To where? I have been thinking of leaving or at least getting out into the rural areas.
That is the question! Back then I went to SoFla near Palm Beach. Only lasted 10 years before the yankees, yeawahs and crack-crooks (plus the marine patrol's war on drugs) had me moving inland.
No idea where next, but a dope legal redneck haven near/on water would be a good start, at least for me.

If you are talking about being legally able to grow and sell to who ever, it would depend on your situation, as in $$ for location, permits, licensing.
If you are talking about paying extra on top of your medical rec for more plants, that doesn’t stand up in court by itself.
As it’s been explained to me, you have to be able to justify the extra
( beyond the six anyone can grow) plants medically, as to why you would need more than six

I mean...in a hypothetical scenario, one has a few locations with lets say a few greenhouses that run year round. The program runs without issue...does one continue the "normal" program and go with that? Or should one go through all the hoops and bullshit to turn them into licensed grows... With the laws being the way they are, anything over 6 plants is a misdemeanor for cultivation, most poeple get tickets and released if they hit their spots and happen to still be around...SO, realistically, is it worth it??? Maybe just for peace of mind??? Diversifying is security and peace of mind, so one should have more ventures going on anyway IMO....If growing more than 6 plants is a crime....a misdemeanor....not all that scary...
Everything in this country is driven by greed. Certainly the cannabis market would not be an exception.
EVERYTHING in this country is based upon greed. We, politely call it Capitalism.
Name ONE thing that has made it to the top of the ladder in the USA without money.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Peace.
