commercial marijuana demand

[Guest]

Just read another post that just mentioned Marlboro MJ and I just thought:

Will there even be a market for this? My reason for asking is I would never turn myself to a commercial product with one intent: massive profits.

Further, I'd probably find myself growing enough for my block, and just giving it out. I'm not the only one on my block growin' it up, either.

I voted NO! The goverment would fukk the Herb up anyhow just like they fukkt up tobaco. I think every neiborhood needs a resident Herb grower.

I feel the same way, first I smoked schwag then beasters (both forms of commercial buds)...but now its a different story. Big time weed snob here!

hell yes i would blaze that shit, that would be so awesome to only spend like 5 bucks and get 12 joints. also they would make it look perfect like a cigarette with actual filters, it would probably be the best rolled joint i ever smoked. that would be so awesome, i cant believe none of you would like that.

Not a hope of me buyin' corpweed - not if I can grow it for myself instead.

BushBerry - no thanks. Petroleum based ferts, E. Coli., etc.

Controlled, mushy high - predictable and low ceiling.

you know you can buy your own filters...

I think it would suck, they already cry over rising thc levels so everything would be mild down including the flavor. Like wine, the good tasting ones will probably cost an arm and a leg.

i am hoping for the decriminilization of MJ but maybe still make it finable to grow. now please dont jump all over me i only want this so that coorporations wont start growing weed. i think it will become run by the government and then there will be limits set on thc content and there will be a bottleneck of genetics as producers look for the fastest crop. i like it now (without the whole jail thing for smoking a plant) im just afraid that commercial weed will ruin our community of collecters and conesuiers (sp). samething happened with absinthe the government in europe still alows it but its actual absinthe content is so low you only get a shadow of the effects it once produced (if you want absinthe buy the kits where you add the absinthe to alcohol with these you can make it as strong as you like and its legal to order them in the US).

If companies like Marlboro were to sell MJ joints once legal there would be people that buy them easily. With any drug there are many different types of users. Look at alcohol for example. There ae some drinkers who will only drink Jonny Walker Blue or Mcallen 25, high end spirits are all they will drink. Then you got the drinker who will drink MD 20/20, thunderbird, Night train or anything cheap with alcohol in it. Sure both get drunk and love alcohol, but one appreciates it while the other just uses it. Same with MJ, you got some ( like most of us on IC) who will only smoke herb that is well grown, seedless, trimmed well , well flushed and only smoke certain strains. Then you got others who will happily buy beasters or mexi brick and smoke the hell out of it. So while some would want to grow their oen, many would jump at pot being 5-10 bucks for a pack of joints from uncle sam.


Look at it this way. If beasters and brick weed sucked so bad and peopel hated it it wouldnt sell. But people buy up brick all day long every day of the week. So that same segment of population would still smoke em

i couldnt agree with you more. i get some really fine herb from a friend of mine but will only really smoke out with another friend because he is the only one that will really appreciate the taste the aroma the complexity of the high ect. i have another friend that refuses to do anything other than veg on th couch when they are high. i like to smoke and go out and enjoy the day to see how the high complements everyday experiences. the friend that i smoke out with and i are very keen on the effects it has... is it inspirational, couch lock, how long does it last ect. id say the vast majority of indivudals who smoke just smoke to get fucked up they use it as an escape rather than a tool. weed can be a good thing or it can be bad its just about how you approach it and what your mind set is while experiencing the effects.

i think you guys are looking at it wrong, if marijuana was legal then you would treat it just like any other product out there. if you wanted the most quality stuff then you could go on the internet to some growers website who has uses organics and is famous etc. also there would be a big demand for prerolled cigarette style packaging with the highest quality buds. so im sure independent growers would get into that business. then certain brands would become famous because they are the best, and they would turn into major businesses like malboro. thus you have "corporate weed", which i would smoke.

the fear is that a drug that was once illegal but then becomes legal will be highly regulated. the government could put an acceptable cap on thc content and because it would become a large commercial enterprise you can almost gauruntee there will be a gentic bottleneck just like corn bannanas wheat etc etc. i personally love the community the way it is. though there is already a commercial element most growers in the community are great for the plant and truly love what they are growing.

so you want companies to take the credit of things while growers now already have done amazing things and have the knowledge yet they wont be credited.

hmmmm......there seems to be something we may be missing here.
If RJ reynolds or Philip Morris get the go ahead to sell legal weed home growing will become regulated and limited to people who start companies to supply the big boys.
Just look at Tobacco.
Any business would want a lock on their product.
Look at alcohol.

Unfortunately seed will probably stay Illegal and infringing on the big grow companies would constitute patent infringement once they genetically altered the seed to qualify.
LOOK at Monsanto and corn.
Their genetically modified corn pollen brew across the road and pollinated an independent farmer's OG corn crop. Well Monsanto sued the guy for stealing their patented product and infringement. He lost. Out of business.
It would be reasonable to surmise that the greedy bastards that would get their hands on weed production would adulterate it with addictive additives 9 Such as Nicotine),
weaken it with filler to increase yeild, and probably genetically engineer it to meet whatever Frankensteinian ends Argi-industry dreams up.

My Friends, other than making MMJ legal and available to those in need, it would be wiser to keep weed illegal.
As illegal growers we can skirt the law and fly under the radar. If big biz gets a hold of it we will be extreme outlaws without a chance against big business dollars, hitmen, lawyers, and the pols they have in their pockets.

Grow it and give it away. We don't need no stinkin' badges!

PEACE DA

Can you imagine rappers throwing brand name MJ around in songs?

There will always be someone who gets snubbed by the current legal/regulatory status of MJ, the status will keep changing faster than you can blink for awhile as well, just like Cali not being able to make up its' mind on what, how much, etc...one day your "club" is legal, the next day it is being raided. I say decriminalization or total legalization for everyone and no inbetween. Everyone has such strong opinions for/against MJ there will never be a consensus, people just need to agree to live and let live, get back to the original intent of the 'pursuit of happiness'.

Anyways if the Marlboro weed cig was good enough i'd try it out, but it would be for the same reasons growers sometimes get shwag: out of the good and little money. Corporations have power because we feed them. Try living off the grid, and the kindness of strangers, and see how you like it after a year. Then maybe 'corporate' wont be such a bad word anymore.

 

[Guest]

I'd certainly live off the grid, if I had total access to what god (nature) gave me, no more and no less.

It is illegal to live off the grid in the united states. Why do you think mj is illegal? It's hemp.

 

[aeric]

Illegal to live off the grid? LOL. If you can do it by all means....I sort of did for awhile, not for me.
