Where would I be allowed to cultivate marijuana professionaly?

[generalchaos]

I dont even know if this is the right spot, but it seemed good enough.


Basically where im at right now, times are rough, im in huge amounts of debt from college, and after being graduated for over a year now, I still havent got a single interview :(

I think its time for me to find a new field, and well....I love marijuana, ive successfully grown it (soil/hydro/indoor/outdoor/stealth and in the open)

I think its actually pretty fun, one of my favorite hobbies, and I think if I could do it legally somewhere and earn enough money off it to make a decent living for myself, I could live a pretty happy life :rasta: . id be doing something I enjoy and love.

as of right now im pretty sure thats not gonna happen anywhere in the united states, but what about canada or any other countries across the world? nothing 3rd world though im not trying to get kidnapped and killed for being a westerner lol.

[nate4305]

I don't know man, there are places you can live and grow it but I don't know about selling it! But if you find a place let me know i'll move there with you this county is starting to piss me off too!

Get to any and all function put on by ASA, NORML, MMP and others. Its excellent for finding a legal solution to your search. Many people have similar goals and need solutions, also.

Clubs and delivery services are ALWAYS looking for good qualified growers. The problem is that everyone talks a good story but few can grow the premium strains required by the Medical Clubs.
Good luck and yes, it is tons of fun......

I've had this dream aswell (like quite a few have I suspect), holland would be the obvious answer but there is a limit on plants there, remember you have seed banks that operate at least semi legally from holland (I'm pretty sure sensi seeds do it legally somehow I remember seeing it on a documentry about howard marks I think)

However I also did see a police raid in dam where they were busting someone for having way too many plants.

But hey someone has to supply the coffee shops with top quality marijuana and hashish, but it would be a costly procedure to set up a business with all the lighting ventilation etc and you say you're already pretty skint. Also I doubt your bank manager would give you a business loan to grow pot.

Why don't you see if you can get a job in one of the seed banks in canada or holland learn the trade etc.

[veggii]

LoL ,I like that goto bank Mgr. "can I have a small business loan to start my cannabis co-op " tempted too try and see what happens :jointsmile:

[cornish_dope]

Even funnier if he said "I would like to be your business partner"

[generalchaos]

lol well if I was doing the operation in a country where it is legal, they might not have to much of a problem with it :stoned:

im having a really hard time finding any information about which countries in the world allow legal cultivation, and how many plants they let you have

[loganz77]

In Humboldt County, you can grow up to 99 plants for medical reasons.

This government still considers Federal law to trump State law on this issue. You will fuckin get raided by DEA don't do it. Even the California police sometimes say they will violate the State Constitution to uphold the federal law over the state... which means in California they should probably be behind bars... or at least doing community service while on unpaid leave.

[GoddessHerb]

And that's why there is a lawsuit going to the California State supreme court. The sad thing is the elected officials have sworn to uphold state laws not federal. The Supreme Court has said that the feds can't make state officials help them. Too bad they don't believe that. :(

Every LEO that violates state law should be removed and sued. The sheriffs should be made to pay back all the taxpayer money they waste illegally prosecuting those who pay their salaries by ignoring their will. It's a matter of the voters not making their officials uphold state laws and allowing this to continue. People need to take to the streets en mass if they really want their laws to be upheld, or at the very least write the officials to express their dissatisfaction with them. Sadly people will barely vote let alone care if anyone upholds their vote.

Ah the complacency of an easy life. Too bad everyone else isn't in the pain that I am maybe they'd want to change things too. Who knows. I just wonder what they'll use as an excuse if congress actually passes the legalization bill recently. :hippy:

As far as legal businesses there is no such thing anywhere in any country except Canada. And I'm sure they have a limit on how many companies can supply Health Canada with medical cannabis. Cannabis is NOT legal in the Netherlands. It's just that they choose when to enforce the law selectively. Growing and selling is really putting your balls on the line. Only those willing to lose everything should get into professional growing anywhere IMHO.

I do agree to go and get a job with an already existing company especially those that have already been left alone for a good amount of time. But you should realize that they may not be left alone forever so there is still risk. I think though you are at significantly less risk working for someone else but ask those who worked for Richard Baghdadlian the owner of Overgrow.com et al. or Marc Emmery's employees.

If you make yourself a target you're bound to get hit with something. That's why so many are hiding. :sadcrying It's the fear that will bring us down. We have to be willing to fight and lose everything lest we gain nothing. Or even worse we gain conditional approval. Better to ask forgiveness then permission or else you'll live your life on someone else's terms. Just my :twocents:

Blessed be~

First off, I agree with the T.J. quote. Here is an idea, move to some place a couple hundred+ miles north of San Francisco where your closest neighbor is at least 1/4 mile or so away. Be tied into the grid, but also install solar, and wind if possible/eventually. Installing a 5-10kw solar sytem ($15k-$40k) and a 10k wind tower for $30k would allow you to not just use electricity from the grid, but be able to pump back electricity for $0.40 per KW/H for the first 5 years using rebates.

If you had both systems generating electricity at 80% potential, that would be enough for your house,8 1000's for a flowering room, and enough juice to keep your veg space.

So, where are you going to have your grow area?

1) Has to be well hidden: This isn't just because the man is staring down your back, but because those guy's who live in a trailer 3 miles down the road and smoke meth all the time will steal everything you have if they or someone finds out you have potentially $60,000 of equipment, bud, plants in all stages that can be sold for $5-$50 each.

2) Has to be sealed: The perfect room is a sealed room. Controlling the environment for the perfect harvest requires you control the temp, humidity, CO2, and air flow. You don't need fresh air if you are using CO2 burners or tanks along with proper fan placement.

3) Has to be accessible: Easy to get to and work in. If you are doing this professionally you will be spending alot of time working in your garden. Think outside the box on how to make your garden as efficient as possibly while still making it accessible.

pm me if you want some more ideas.

In the '60's we had our 'communes'. Everyone lived together and grew, went to work and lived wherever we pleased.

I imagine: If we all put our resources together and bought a state--made our own laws and only allowed compassionate people and grower's in! lol! would never happen and the only way to get this to happen is get it legal in every state!

So, keep calling and mailing your representatives and lets' get it legal nationwide! :jointsmile: pr

[Dr.Hashman]

In 10 years or so I want to buy 30 acres of land and have the whole thing be a place where friends and I can live as we please. I would like to have the whole thing fenced in so I could have free range chickens all over along with a huge farm growing absolutely everything. I think cannabis will be legalized in the next 10 years if Obama is elected, possibly in a year from now or so :jointsmile:

You could make enough money to sustain the farming compound (roads, fences, security, utilities, community farm) by selling green electricity to the state. I plan on having it be next to a river or have a side be the ocean for hydro power or wave power. If people pitch in, we could have a GW of power being generated between sun, wind, and water, and possibly earth if the plot is on a thermal area (maybe there is one around here).

I just need to make $500k and find some people with some money and who can contribute much more than that.

[silkyblue]

that all sounds good untill the 'housepayments' start rollin in
and 'the babies are out of milk'


pot nation needs to get off its as's and ' come out' 4 to take it off the arrest list. REVOLUTION!

I could earn 12 grand a month 'What a buzz' 'if it was legal'
and nobdy gets arrested!


you can grow herby in a dixie cup anywhere

coax the herbs to think they are livin' in the Tropics'

in that cup'

Yep cause 100 or over the FEDs get involved....

I think that States that want to legalize for whatever reason should be allowed to......the government doesnt know how to regulate a plant:D

despite my support for him, no1 can really tell who is the next president until votes are counted and confirmed.

I've seen quite a number of tense soccer games in which in the extra time, minute 92 or 93 the result was change by 1 mistake or 1 successful attack

But i sure hope he wins, and i sure hope he does something about this federal situation

Thats funny cause his running mate Mrs Paulin is from Alaska were she has gone on record stating her use/consumtion of herb/weed:thumbsup:

Mccain is to old school... old mind... old ways...he will follow the footsteps of Bush and lead us down the same if not worse path.

I would love to sell/grow for people who need it medically..... I need it for migraines and pain releif from arthritus

[silkyblue]

and if Todd dont

You probably would already be living in Canada if you had seen the documentary The Union: The Business Behind Getting High

I saw it in Los Angeles earlier this year, if I wasn't locked out of my car in a secured parking lot that closed while I was watching the film I might have driven straight to Canada that night. But as with any get rich quick schemes, there are usually high risks associated with those jobs. Any country that would allow marijuana to be legalized, or at the least ignored, isn't going to be a place where you can make a decent profit at. Marijuana isn't hard to grow, and if anyone can grow it, everyone will and it won't be easy to make a lot of money. You make more money in places where it is illegal. Risky jobs pay well.

I feel you. I have a sea of green going on in my closet with 2 hydro systems. I have found that growing it is fun, provides free medicine and here in California you can sell to your friends that are patients providing that you don't turn a profit. So the donations from patient friends covers the power, the items needs to maintain the garden and pays for the rent of the closet. But most importantly The healthy hobby and your free and safe medicine! :-)

Edit: Please see your attorney before making a decision about this topic so that you are fully covered in all respects to state, local laws.

[theforthdrive]

great topic! That would depend on your definition of the term legal. There are tons of citizens of Cali that make a living off of growing and selling MMJ. Its a matter if you want to follow state and county laws, or federal! Owners of grow-ops and dispensaries make enough money to cover bills and pay back debts! While some of these people make good money most of it is spent of legal teams that then have to fight the feds! Look up the case of WAMM in Santa Cruz. This is why theforthdrive would like to go to law school, I get your drug money either way! ;) I guess the answer comes down to the size of your brain, luck, and balls! You'll have to decide if its worth it for you!

[iamapatient]

"Where would I be allowed to cultivate marijuana professionaly?"

In California, the answer is; nowhere. You're not allowed to grow "for profit" here. People do it but it's not legal under MMJ laws.

Is this guy a real valid patient? If not stop giving us a bad rep. We want it legalized too, we just know that we better go by the books as an example or it'll never be!

Do you have any ailments that would qualify you as a patient? In CA you can't grow for profit but you can be reimbursed which includes your time. But you must have a valid ailment. If you have questions on if something qualifies, I'll be happy to help.

[klizaw]

In Humboldt County, you can grow up to 99 plants for medical reasons.


The Humboldt County guidelines are 100 sq ft canopy and 200 plants.

But don't move here to get rich or even grow. Too many people got that idea and I'm beginning to feel like Eureka is a police state. :rastasmoke:

If you can be covert, San Diego's the place to be. The price is at least double.

Stating that, until we win the fight to legalize our beautiful plants, stick with valid patients. :jointsmile:
