Reason #2 to Legalize Marijuana: Profits

[getajobgetalife]

i have smoked weed and its bad like cigs but weed makes u dumb

[10Fallenangels]

Marijuana relaxes your mind and releives stress..which is good

[binzing]

@kiroshema2 Your own fucked up genetics and lack of education made YOU dumb. Not weed. Shut the fuck up.

Hey squeeze how much you sell an oz for? here in Mass its 200$ for high regs

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

I usually smoke my stuff haha I don't sell much but an ounce around here goes for about 140 or so by me (I sell pretty cheap cause I think everybody should be able to smoke real good bud for not so high prices).

80% of my family lives in Holland and they profit well more than you think but, 1st 2 years of college is free, their streets and bridges are maintained and since prostitution is legal it pays for the girls to get mandatory checkups from the doctors twice a month.There are many other things my family tells me how it benefits their homeland but our gov't is too stubborn to realize this yet.

And besides man, growing is not about who can grow the most. Anybody can set up a 100 pound grow. Growing is about truly interacting with one of the (if not the greatest) plant on the face of this Earth.

If it was legalized the government would be selling it so cheap that growing would seem almost stupid. There would be no more weighted bullshit in your buds, it would most likely be properly dried, properly grown, hell even the choice of organic or not. They would have every strain imaginable. This doesn't mean there won't be home growers, but I'd say at least 95% would just go buy the shit.

[carbiduis]

you cant guarantee that it would be SO cheap. weighted BS?...who do you get ur buds from? u need a new guy.

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

I grow myself, my herb is clean as anything (100% organic grower =)). I'm just saying, most of the shit people buy these days especially commercial stuff is weighted with some sort of material. It would definitely be cheaper, much cheaper than street prices. There wouldn't be much incentive to grow when you could just drive 5 minutes down the road and pick up several grams.

ONE THING...

alcohol is hard to produce in your home, so you go buy it and the gov taxes it, the perfect system...

However with pot being so easy to grow in your own home, who would ever buy it when you can grow it for (virtually) free??? the gov would profit very little or not at all...think about it

if it were legal id probably grow it cause its so easy, the gov wouldnt make shit off me

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

Tobacco is easy to grow too. It takes several months to grow a fully mature Marijuana plant, sometimes all the way from late March to late October-Mid November. It is a hell of a lot of work to grow and keep your buds safe from things like pests, mold, thieves, etc. Not to mention drying takes at least a month (well if you want good herb it does). People would much rather go down to the 5 and dime and buy a gram for 5-10 bucks of some potent shit than grow it for free.

[carbiduis]

im speaking from experience, it was easy as fuck, and it was high quality, trust me...indoors in an apartment, about 3 months and 2 small plants later, 2.5-3 grams of sticky

think of people who are gardeners, think of all that work for NOTHING!

it would be a hobby that i am sure plenty of people would take up and be more than willing to put forth the effort

most likely people would do both grow and buy it

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

2.5-3 grams from 2 plants? I hate to break it to ya, but you definitely wasted your time growing 2 plants for that much. When I grow outdoors my bushes usually end up producing on average 2 pounds per plant.

hotshot

it was me and my roomates first time, we were suprised we actually ended up with smokeable weed, but it was easy. it was not a waste of time, we learned how to grow pot and had fun. plus we were in a college area apartment suceptible to nosey cops, and rent-a-cops ao we couldnt get too outa hand with our operation, we were working in a small closet with clothes in it

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

Not really it's just that I felt as if you were trying to downgrade me and felt the need to point out some facts about myself. I wasn't intending to 'brag' or anything. what I've grown is nothing compared to a lot of people I know. I know a guy who grew a 63 pound harvest of Skunk #1 down in Florida, in his own backyard. Crazy shit huh?
