My friend just bought some "beach" property on Lake Michigan near St. Joseph. He is from Spain and is very excited about his boating opportunities, and his wife is excited about swimming.
I guess I'm going to avoid being a dick and letting him know that he'll have about 80 days a year, maybe 90, where the weather is acceptable for said activities.

Michigan is better for now because you can deal with the dispensaries as a new guy in town no problem. In Maine I'd imagine it's much harder to break in.
But if you're confident in your social skills and your ability to break in, in my opinion Maine has a longer shelf-life for a career grower. Michigan is an isolated market with no money anywhere near it short Chicago. Maine has an absolutely enormous market to its direct south with no immediately plans to legalize. Therefore the prospects look better long term for Maine growers in my opinion. Once the market floods in Michigan ala Norcal, prices will go down and stay down because there are very few surrounding markets.

such a mix of opinions!
My friends down south are having their doors kicked in by feds one by one. Whoever said laws are meant to be broken have obviously not spent too much time in jail or federal lockup.
So what about Michigan? Is it good for the people who just want to make a standard living from the MMJ scene? Not trying to become a kingpin, but is it possible to help REAL patients and walk away with a couple hundred grand in the pocket after a few years hard work?

Man...ever since i went to one of those maine vocals festivals ive been itchin' to make the move up there! People are very chill in ME. The only real problem is that everyone likes the redsox!
And what do you guys mean when you say that the natives will spot an outsider whos going commercial?? You must mean a populated area and indoor growing?. If your really going to go big wouldnt you move to the middle of no-where deep in the woods, and keep to yourself, tell no-one, have very few if any friends?? Yes it would suck to be a hermit for an extended period of time, but in my opinion it would be the safest and most effective way (assuming you already have a good connect out of state)
I am very understanding at how people are in small area's, everyone wants to know stuff about eachother, small towns are not like big citys where ya walk by someone and dont even make eye contact... Im not from maine, but i live in a very tiny area and i think if someone is from a similar small town woodsy setting it would be no problem to blend right in. You just gotta know how to "not look the part", and how to introduce yourself properly! Keep a short haircut, clean shaven, wear glasses and a collared t-shirt! If anyone ever asks, say you work from home on your computer, phone, etc...
Go to ME, northeast is where its at!

ahhh I'm so excited !!
The cold weather sucks sometimes but I like having the season changes here.
Was planning a move to Cali because it is so beautiful there and it has been a dream of mine, but perhaps I will just save some serious $ and wait till some other states go MMJ friendly.
Now if Florida had better laws.......sigh

I would say CALIFORNIA! CHeeeeyah boyeeeee! Even thought he market is flooded, I still get $3-32 per pack. Ounces for $200 all day. Everyone is happy.
im thinking about moving to maine and dont want to be in a big city, but i also dont want to be exactly in a town of 200 where ill stick out necessarily- can anyone give me some advice on some good cities to live in maine are- id like to have at least 5 acres and a 3 bedroom house near lakes etc- doing indoor and outdoor
Depends on what your definition is of a "big city." Maine's biggest is Portland at population 61,000 +/- and you can still find affordable acreage in the greater metropolitan area (population 500,000 +/-). I'd say its hard to buy something not near a lake or a river...
anything north of bangor. gets really remote
North of bangor is where the magic happens
