Here is the best dispensary price I have ever seen here. This turns out to be about $352 after taxes. And it is Popcorn. If I had a med card the taxes would be way cheaper.
SPOT ON FLORDUH !Growing weed might be too easy for big agribusiness to profit off of it long term.
Maybe the solution is to encourage small operations. I believe testing costs are a barrier for smaller farmers. Why not have the government run the testing facilities as a non profit public service? Reduce taxes on cannabis to discourage the black market and use the entirety of that tax revenue to run the labs.
The "nobody wants to work anymore" crowd likes to point out that America was founded on "hard work". Sure. But for yourself. Not for some godless multinational corpo. The vision of the Founders was to have smallholder farmers making their own destiny from sea to shining sea. Why not roll that 18th/19th century ideal out again...now featuring cannabis.

I believe most states allow home grown. That's probably the ultimate "small grower" solution, especially for folks able to grow it in greenhouses or outdoors with inexpensive methods to protect it from severe weather. It should be easy for a significant percentage of Americans to avoid monopolies and over-taxation.
Apts would be tough...but..."ONLY 5 PLANT"...LMAO....Unless you plan on Selling...5 plants will produce More than you can use Yourself usually. I had one grow where 2 plants indoors produced 22 oz of trimmed bud ! TBH, it gets Boring using the Same product all the time.
5 plants sounds like a great option although not practical in an apartment. Not everyone needs to grow it to undermine the over taxation and restricted availability. Also, I suspect a lot of home growers will accidentally exceed the legal limit since penalties are unlikely and no longer severe. Not yet in a position to grow (again), but it's gonna happen sooner or later. Trying to think of an easy way to grow it outdoors with backup protection from excessive heat and storms. Hopefully more and more people will grow over time and squeeze the corporations out.

I’d like for this to happen as well, but I don’t think it will, in the same way that growing tomatoes in the back yard isn’t putting supermarkets out of business.
Awhile back we discussed investing in cannabis companies and I mentioned that I don't invest (not to be confused with trading) in them because eventually we'll be able to grow our own legally. The counter argument was that I may invest in a company like Del Monte while I can already grow my own vegetables. The difference is I like vegetables but I LOVE cannabis.
Oklahoma, the Wild West of weed! We should all be so lucky.

More people would grow tomatoes if they cost $160-300/oz. We grow them just for fun and because they're better than store bought. No supermarket would shut down if more people grew tomatoes.
Anti-Drug Group Hides Corporate Sponsors Like NFL And Krispy Kreme Amid Backlash Over Bid To Block Marijuana Bill In Senate
An anti-drug organization that’s asking its supporters to oppose a federal marijuana legalization bill has removed a page on its website that previously listed corporate partners amid pushback from reform advocates. Major brands like the NFL, Krispy Kreme and several pharmaceutical companies...
I get the pharma companies but Krispy Kreme seems like it could only benefit from legalization.
PURDUE....OPIATE MARKET FLOOD and on the otherhand INDIVIOR....the makers of the medication to fight OPIATE USE DISORDER WITHDRAWL symptoms(had to pay out Billions in Fines and Restitution for Overcharging and lying to the FDA/AMA about the supposed Increased Child Safety of their medicine Strips).The NFL being on that list is real sicko shit. They make their money breaking the bodies and brains of (mostly black) men. Trying to prevent them from getting a little relief either now or later, when the true effects of CTE set in is disgusting.
Just at a quick glance, I see the company responsible for the deaths of 600,000+ Americans from the opioid crisis. And a few money launderers for Mexican Drug cartels and terrorists.
We just let these unelected cunts decide what laws are passed huh? America is more corrupt than pretty much every third world country put together. Saying "Lobbying" instead of "Bribery" changes nothing.
I stopped and watched this dude every time I got a chance. This is a later 3 minute clip about who really runs America (corporations and billionaires). I really like the ending.
At least we'll have a strong authoritarian (fascist) government to deal with the impending ecological & economic disasters.
I'm just glad the pandemic has slowed for now, and the war isn't nuclear or here, yet.
Everyone have a good evening.....
