NEW Colorado Growers Thread

[Ganoderma]

Does Colorado compete in the Citrus game? Tobacco? Strawberries? Ornamental? Anything horticultural?

You must be a Big City hood rat that doesn't get out of the big city much. There is a lot of agriculture/horticulture with in the state, just not so much in the urban area's. Colorado might not be the top/lead producer of a lot of stuff. You have lots of farming in the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado, that's the area's main economy, farming. You have cattle and other large live stock being raised around the state. There is lots of hay that is grown in Colorado and shipped to other states. Then there is also lots of tourism with in Colorado, which brings those people here. So we don't have to export our produce to get it to them.

Once things are legal at the federal level, you'll have what is called interstate commerce. That means weed will be grown in one location and transported to another state, how do you think you get your produce from the grocery store and where they get it from.

Then once it's legal here and in Mexico, just imagine all of that Mexican weed not getting all molested by being smuggling and being legally distributed to throughout all of the states and even Canada too.

the whole "think of the future, today is fucked" train of thought... or the "we only have x years before the state is obsolete" train of thought... they do nothing for me.
i'm here, and now, and at the moment am unable to change my location and also currently unable to travel thru time, so i try to settle into the moment, be aware of what could be coming (here and elsewhere) and informed by what already has come to pass (here and elsewhere).... and try to be comfortable with that limited knowledge and individual point of view, without making me feel "above" or "below" anyone else who is just trying to do the same (whether they know it or not).

My plants can beat up everybody else's plants.

Yeah, this sums it up for me. Do I like the way I think things are headed? No, but I love living in CO, even with all the yuppies flooding in, I came here to put down roots, i'll be fucked if i'm digging up a 10 year old tree because it seems like a bad couple seasons are coming up.

On Colorado not being agricultural... lmfao. Most of the state is considered zone 4 temperate, perfect for a HUGE variety of crops.

Strawberries do so well here they're actually a bothersome and invasive species in certain areas.

Bobby is very opinionated, i'm guessing he's the type of person who likes to see physical results rather than charts or projections, i've gotten shit talked by him before for my clone sales, after seeing actual statements from people who have used my genetics, a couple in this thread, he withdrew his animosity. He can be prickly, yes, but that can come from a variety of sources, if he's choosing to look to a new medical state the way I did 10 years ago, I wish him luck. I came from California, the original medical marijuana state, where patient vending was and technically is still allowed, I chose to come here because that state felt like the Wild West of Cannabis, Federal harassment seemed certain, and it did happen. Colorado looked like the opposite, starting small, keeping things local and highly regulated, eventually this probably will give big money control of the CO weed market.

Somewhere along the lines, the air, the mountains, the lack of valley accents, the strange balance one can find between weed, green chili, and pets, all soothed my soul and made me want to spend my years here.

My point is relative to the rest of the Nation. CO is less of an agricultural state than CA or FL.

I get it. You guys love CO. So do I, and personally I don't want Cannabis to be big here anymore.

State is full of fucktards like Zro.

My goal can not be realized in CO, and that is a shame, but it's reality.

But in Tijuana, most of the "dank" weed you get is brought south from California, if you want brick it's around, but the proximity to the border has given those with the money to pay for it a taste for something better.

Any of those as fragile as Cannabis?

Carrots and Potatoes grow in the ground bro.

Ill let these speak for themselves.

California grows nearly half of the nation’s fruits, vegetables and nuts.
