Rhode Island vs Cali. Where to move?

I have been considering making a move out to Rhode Island.

My original plan was to go to Cali, LA area, only because I live in NV, Las Vegas area, and that's closer.

I have family in Rhode Island, and I could go out there a little easier then LA(other then the drive), but I was wondering if anyone has experience.

Are there dispensaries? I have searched on a few different sites. Some say RI has no dispensaries. Another one said there are 2.

If there are dispensaries, can you sell to them? I plan on having an extra pound or so a month I would like to sell legally.

Thanks.
 
Depends on whether you like Rhode Island's weather !!!

Do ya ????

East coast gets the news 3 hours earlier, lol !!


Peace,
Bill


edit: no dispensaries open yet,,, still in application taking process !!

Rhode Island's medical scene isn't even close to what cali has. That being said, top quality is worth easily double what it is in cali (5-6k/lb as opposed to 2-3k)

If you don't mind going to jail if your busted, move to RI and make more money. If you don't wanna go to jail if busted, go to cali

The only problem with this that if you want to move to Cali there are a) no jobs b) can't sell weed b/c market is flooded c) rent is $1500/month for a shitty 1-bd where d) there are hella gangbangers who want to rip off your grow and e) electricity is hella expensive, your competing with outdoor growers growing multiple elbows using zero electricity if you're contemplatin getting into the 'erb slanging game....

do you care about profit, or care about safety? a bedroom grow yeilding 5lbs every 3 months in RI will make you around 80k...whereas that same grow in california you are probably only making 40k a year after expenses but less likely to get raided.

I'll stick with Cali....:laughing:....love the weather and the energy and peeps.....I still make enough on my packs to make a few xtra bucks but I'm not in it for total profit. I also really get joy from helping my patients and friends feel better....I'd love to visit Rhode Island though I've heard it's beautiful also!

Grow on bro's!

Hey man if you're already there you're golden... for most of us the California Dream is long dead... Barrier to entry for Cali Living is rather high... Rent?

If nothing else if u live in Rhode Island you can try and find the Griffin family... Quagmire, Brian the Dog, etc. Cleveland is in Stoolbend, VA...

Looks like I'm going to Cali. My friend just got a 20 grand loan for us to go start there. I think I might have rather grown somewhere where the competition is not so fierce, but I can't pass on this invitation to go live in Cali rent free with a close friend.

Wish us luck! We need it!

Rhode Island for sure..do not come to cali..20 grand just in fees and taxes...bring 100grand if your serious.

seriously? what fees and taxes?

I know cost of living is high. And I know that a medical card is not free. But what other fees and taxes do you refer to?
 
May wanna read this bs I found in a RI MM forum 1st.....

Most of those dudes have like 25 posts. Call me cynical but I think it's just the same dude talking shit under diff handles, carrying on a conversation with himself.

No way a person would leave that much information about himself online while admitting to being a rat, and actively threatening cannabis growers. Nobody is that stupid. He'd be at the bottom of a lake by the end of the week.

20 g's in Cali and you wanna set up a big grow? Start on day one that you're out here, no lollygaggin, and dont buy any extravagant shit because you surely wont be able to afford a ton. 10 grand just on rent for your first crop.
