We Can Bring Down The Price Of Marijuana...TOGETHER!

[Sardonic]

Ok - nuther offer.

I got 2 orders of seeds recently - I'll send 5 seeds to your safe addy - - check back in - 6 months - 8 months, whatever you like

Ok?
edit - I got 12 beans here you can have all 12.

oh - - about the vette - both are chevy's - have 4 wheels, the vette might have a large disadvantage for mileage and the vette is MSRP +$, +$, +$. oh yeah - THAT"S THE POINT! That and drive each to a party and see WHY they charge more.

Be glad that some can pay. Recently through the generosity of Rez, I snagged a couple packs of Strawberry D F2's $45 ea. Plus I got some Soma's NYCD - and a couple killer freebies - then I'm waiting on a pack of Blue Sonja (Blockhead F2's)

That's another thing - NEVER EVER has any of my buddies tossed me some change and said "Buy us some good beans"
**** NO!

From the day I learned to grow - I've strived to have the best buds; bar none. My moms are LSD, Juliet, Blockhead, Strawberry Deisel and 2 different Hashplants. I've tossed ak-47, Mr Bubble, B-52, Ledo uno, Golden Skush, about 5 skunk crosses, bubblegum, and several that I would rather never remember.
Point being - ya gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find a princess.

Don't get me wrong - it's hard work, only for the dedicated....

That's another thing,,,,

Okay, the car comparison makes more sense now.
I don't get what you're driving at with the seeds though. If you're knocking down a part of my plan (i know i said something about seeds in my initial post, but i dont remember what exactly...to lazy to re-read that high jargon ), I can come up with a different one.

YES, it cost money to do this. I never said otherwise. One thing I could do is order a very expensive pack of fine genetics, grow the best one out to be a bonsai mum and give away the cuttings..people can make their own beans or what have you.

i also plan to make my own crosses and give away the seeds after this grow.
I know it isn't easy work. I don't expect it to be.

This won't work, the majority of people can't grow even if they wanted, and of those who do grow the majority are too scared to "share the love"

unfortunately

Theres two constants you will never hurdle regarding this matter.

#1 Whining about prices has never caused the industry to run out and slash their costs. Its a black market based on supply and demand, nothing else. To assume greed establishes price is flat out wrong. Greed works in small spurts here and there but not in the long run of black market supply and demand. You want lower prices?? Simple, make people smoke less and grow more since that will have an actual impact on the supply and demand. Anything else is just mental warm fuzzies. Feels good when you think about them but try and deposit them at the bank.

#2 Low prices breeds mediocrity. Specific case point? Mexi-schwag. Not difficult to imagine if they were paid more they would make a better product. What do you think they would grow if you told them you wanted to cut their prices by 75%? I shudder to think, as much as I would if the rest of the world lost that incentive as well. The schwag is also what sets the base price of the black market, without crappy weed how would you know good weed? People will always pay more for something better, its in our nature.

There is an infinite difference between a little wrong and just right, between fairly good and the best, between mediocrity and superiority. - Orison Swett Marden

Nothing is as approved as mediocrity, the majority has established it and it fixes it fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way. - Blaise Pascal

'Mediocrity' doesn't mean average intelligence, it means an average intelligence that resents and envies its betters. - Ayn Rand

There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. In every generation the least cultivated taste has the largest appetite. - Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Excellence is a better teacher than mediocrity. The lessons of the ordinary are everywhere. Truly profound and original insights are to be found only in studying the exemplary. - Warren G. Bennis

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius. - Sir Arthur Conan Ignatius Doyle

Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best. - Sir Max Beerbohm

Some one needs to have a serious word with Bill Gates. Get him to buy a country, make it one huge grow. This will also solve much unemployment as many jobs would be created. Willy could then pay for and supply the whole planet. This way the price would be reduced to zero. He could even divide his country up into sections and give areas to everyone in the community to grow what they will. Can you imagine the farmers markets at the weekend. Anyway i don't know Willy so i cannot ask him. Can one of you guys ask!

 

[The_Leader]

Why? because I can! It keeps the kids around here from thinkin they own the market,with their shitty grown,overpriced,wet garbage.If I can make a difference, I will.No -one- should have ta pay that kinda dough fer bud.I reckon I'm jus funny that way. lol Take care...BC

demand dictates price hikes to keep ppl from hording or Worse, becoming an asshat middleman w/$$$ in his/her eyes. Growers usually aren't the greedy ones. As w/all products the producer isn't the sheep in wolves clothing

 

[zeloszero]

i havent read through this thread. but heres my opinion. do like I do, dont buy it, grow it. (very cheap) ^_-

 

[Stoner4Life]

OK, so I'm a week or two away from harvest time on some MasterLows and Power Stouts and needing a sack to hold me over til then. So I called on Tom to fill the order as he usually has the best around here, he tells me that he's out but going to see his guy that day. I get a call back from him in an hour when he tells me "we're good to go but it's gonna cost $125 for the quarter." I said sorry bro, that AIN'T gonna happen! and I told him to fvck off as well.

You have to say NO or it will continue to rise in price. The weed has the control if you don't say NO! YOU are not controlling it or yourself if you cave in to whatever price someone wants to charge.

If you can't say no then the drug (weed) has you in its control. no good at all.

What about the guys in Jamiaca and Peru that feed their familes harvesting bat crap, so them wacky weed farmers can have good ferts. - if I was doing it - I'd want more than $10 a bag - and the retailer and the shipper get a cut

To say nothing of the sea weed and fish sqeezers. And all the others - - light manafactures, fan and filter makers - there is a whole mini economy to support growers - these people going to lower prices too?

If marijuana were really legal and I mean across the whole world. There would still be rippers. Because some people are really too stupid and lazy to grow their own. Indoor grows would still get jacked. Because people are too stupid and lazy to grow their own. Even if it was legal to grow cannabis some people cant afford the initial layout of a few hundred dollars. And the additional overhead of the electrical bill would be out of reach of some. The price of grow equipment would sky rocket. Along with everything else used to grow. Demand would far outweigh supply. Imagine everyone bidding on, lets say a pack of Rez's Sour Diesel. After everyone bought up all his inventory there is 1 pack left on SeedBay. Some billionaire places a bid of 250,000$ and thats the winning bid. Rez is happy, but all the people growing before this happened are pissed. You have to pay for your weed. One way or the other. Nothing worth having is easy, or free.

There may still be some theft if it was legal, but it would be much less (not worth 1000's of dollars anymore). Personal growers could also have the thieves jailed under theft laws if it was legal. Ever hear of CCD video/hidden cams? I don't have to be there to catch you red, er, green - handed...

Initial investment of hundreds? Man, the sun is free...

Cannabis is just produce - plain and simple. It grows on a plant just like any other produce does. The only reason prices are so inflated is due to the fact that it is a massive black market, created by the very laws we despise so much. It's exactly like black markets in firearms, where a buyer pays much more than the gun is worth legally...

IMO, the best way for gov'ts to both legalize it, and destroy the black market is to allow legal adults to grow a set # of plants/yr. under a paid permit. (I say paid because we all know that gov'ts must make $$, or they'd never even consider it...) Then the $$ can go back into society, where it is needed, and all the violence and other crap associated to the commercial trade would dry up. Not 100%, but mostly...

Now I do understand why some don't want to see this. Like any other form of making $, dealers don't want to see their cash cow go to the slaughterhouse. (I do not hate dealers, in the status quo they provide a valuable service - albeit at a bit, er a lot of cost. But I would trade the entire market in for fairly-priced P. grow permits in a heartbeat)

Well, like me or not, I feel this is the best path for our favourite plant regarding legalization. I would literally "sell my soul" to see it happen, too...

(No, I am not religious)


Peace

I think if everyone and their nephew were allowed to grow erb inside and outside all the work improving upon different strains in recent years would be lost in a sea of mediocrity.

 

[MoeBudz^420]

Nature did just fine for tens of thousands of years. (Edit2) Cannabis has been illegal for less than 100 years, and look at the inflation (end edit) How much do you sell your lb's for?

Next excuse please...

Peace

edit: The seed market could still work tho. (Edit3) - ppl wouldl still need seeds to grow, and the genetics are in the seed. I'd like to see 10 seeds cost 20-40 instead of 3 digits though. I just might buy some then...

Sheesh, too many edits...why can't I get all the facts typed in my 1st attempt...Must be all that THC...

 

[supermanlives]

i dont care what it cost, i grow my own.

 

[MoeBudz^420]

Me too, and I do not sell any. Never have, never will, as there's no better way to attract the heat than to sell. I agree, yes it must be nice to rake in major $$ for cannabis. well, until you're caught and rake in major jailtime.

Also, even if mediocrity was an issue, I'd much rather have lots of cheap mediocre stuff, and still make excellent hash than pay my left arm for a little bit...

I have been known to give to those who are good to me tho...Free the Weed!

Peace

Nature did fine? If you call feral hemp fine I guess. Thats what nature does when you leave weed to grow in the wild. It turns to crap.

Nature also didnt have anything to do with it being illegal or its inflation of price. If weed were legal tomorrow it wouldnt be worth anywhere near $400 an ounce. No money in stealing pennies.

If weed and seeds were legit then breeders would copyright DNA and sue any fartbangers that tried to sell knockoff f2's or use their genetics in crosses. Then you can look forward to good genetics costing thousands of dollars.

 

[George Hayduke]

yeah you don't want marijuana weeds taking over the ecology of certain forests either. thats just wouldn't be good.

 

[The_Leader]

price is not going down. even i will be forced to cut off limbs or raise the roof. The demand grows faster than the weed. imho&e
