Would you grow and sell it? Assuming there were no legal issues etc.....How about if there were a law for over 18? Would you demand ID?
I'd figure though that if it WERE legal the prices would be much lower due to the competition.....something to think about there.
Would you go into the POT BUSINESS?
yeah i would grow...but maybe not sell i. it probably would be more of a hobby for me
So you'd only grow it....even for yourself.....if it were legal?
I'd grow. I'd sell to 18+. I'd smoke a lot more lol. I would even consider making it part-time job.
^^^ i didnt say ONLY, of course i would share. if i needed some extra cash i would sell some, but mostly it would be a labor of love. i would have a lot of fun just experimenting.
i would just grow it...be like a hobby for when i get like 50's-60's and close to retirement...but it would be something fun..maybe no selling unless ppl are in dire need and cant find which would never happen if it was legal..people'd be havin ads n the newspaper and shit
i bet if it was legal there would be strict laws and shit. like you would need a licence to sell.
I would grow as many fucking plants as humanely possible and tend to them each and every day and when harvest comes i'd have pounds and pounds, possibly even tons of the finest sensimellia and i'd hook every body up for better prices than anybody else.
i wouldn't try to sell it... if it were legalized tomorrow, by the time i grew som emature plants the market would literally be flooded with it, you could probably buy it cheaper then water....
i would grow my own tho... my whole back yard would be nothing but plants... not that i need thta much to smoke, but i'd definately be using it to cook with (as a spice/herb, not to get high) and making crap loads of hash and oil... i would pick one or two plants out of every 100 to be dedicated to just be harvested for bud, but the rest would go to other purposes..
...I'd start out small....5 or 10 acres.
Dutch Schwag...any color you want. (as long as it's green)...:baggy:...:rolleyes:...
Oh, the possibilities are endless with marijuana. I would try my best to utilize marijuana to its full resourcefulness, by producing clothes, energy, plastics & paper, etc.

that said, I enjoy nothing more than sharing my finished herbs and giving them as gifts. people often offer money for it, and I know they have good intentions, but I recoil in disgust at the suggestion of putting capital on the same plane of existence as an herb as sacred as cannabis. I feel it is a direct gift from the heavens. It's comparable in atrocity to selling indulgences or charging admission to go to church.
I accept other favors for my gifts. Anything that a friend can do in the future for me that for some reason I can't do for myself I would consider an equitable trade. If they can't do anything, consider my weed a free gift.
Oscar Wilde said " A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." Typical capitalist attitude. There is a vast difference between the value of something and what that thing will fetch in a marketplace.
Cannabis is far too singular, too panacean, too glorious to be seen as something that can be sold
I would build a three-sixty house of pots on platforms and then live underneath it. The entire house would be a year-long trimming experiment.
We would just sit under it while people took turns trimming with a giant butterfly net and an eight foot Hooka.
Won't matter though. After five years of it being completely legal it will be everywhere.
i'm with you, burnable.....the world would be a happier place if there were more like you...
There IS the thought of maybe doing the hemp thing....someone mentioned making everything with it.....well maybe SOME things. Those who said it would be everywhere if legalized are probably right though.....probably wouldn't be able to GIVE it away.
Hey....That'd be cool. :)
If it were legal then yes I would grow, smoke and sell Cannabis. Make my own business off it and get rich and live happy while also making others happy :).
I would grow for personal use and sell to my good friends. However, I wouldn't go into the business of selling weed. I would rather get a 9 to 5 job after college.

theres nothing better than smokeing your grow with friends , if it were legal i would probally grow to sell, and i think i would be very happy in my new job:jointsmile:
Id would grow fulltime 365 days a year! that be my job lol.
I agree with slip cheaper than water and I would grow so much I got acres an acres every year would be like the old days of havesting food but it would be bud. If it were legal their would be so much herb on the market only the best of the best of the best would sell for good cash. Other wise it will be like selling flowers
If it were legal then, hell yeah, I would grow it. Our property would be a field of weed. Winter time, the grow would come indoors, depending of course how much my field yielded. I may not even need a winter crop.Quote:

Gotta share the bud ya know. :)
Oh how I wish my State was legal! But, alas, it's not to be. Yet.
Mad props to you Burnable. Not only for your sacramental attitude but also for using the word panacean in a sentence. :thumbsup:Quote:

Peace,

Me and a buddy are planning to open a smoke shop if it ever becomes legal, kinda like Amsterdam has, a selection of premium stuff for people of the legal age to enjoy. There'd still be a market for pot; not everyone wants to grow, just like not everyone grows their own veggies or makes their own beer. They *could* but it's a hassle. Doing it for them, providing that service, along with providing a nice peaceful setting to enjoy their vice, that's how we'd make our money.
Yup! That's how it works with home-garden crops!Quote:

Thats a very good point about not having to hide your grow. That might change alot for alot of people. ;)
It sure would make the farmers market a lot more interesting :jointsmile:Quote:

ccf, I am with you! I grow tons of veggies and and some mj now, and give away the excess- just made some yummy chocolate almond zucchini magic cake, with loaves for my friends- so I'd still do that:hippy:Quote:

Wait....that's not bad..... :D

but i'd have plants everywhere, and sell as much as I could, regardless of what the legal age was. let the people decide how old they need to be.
