Police officer charged with growing pot

[carrotfire]

have you been to cali and seen a store? sure there are nice choices but they rape you on price and there is NO tax yet. my grower buddy said any tax imposed would raise the price of his/her herb by as much as the tax if not more because of the additional accounting overhead. which is in essence what you see in cali. the grower still gets his/her price and the shop adds money to cover overhead. if the grower had to account for his/her herb, report on how much what quality, i guarantee prices wil go up. and guess what? there is a still a huge black market trade for herb in cali. why? because its cheaper!


my guess is that legalization would create situations like booze. some states have great selection and great prices while the communist, err, socialist, err state-run ones have shitty selection and crappy price.~

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you too, can become great.

The med clubs are pricey because it's only semi legal. It's still illegal under fed law, and THATS why they keep getting busted.

They cant pay tax, coz technically it's not legal, and they keep the prices high because THEY'RE risking jail.

It doesnt sound like you really know what your talking about to be perfectly honest. Dont try to argue when your wrong.

According to your flag, your American. I'm English - you should know all this.

hahahahahahhhhhahjahahahahhah


So what do you think they funnel the extra loot into? Legal funds? LOLOLOLOL
Nah, it's that price because people will pay it. Prices are still less than on the east coast. It's just that even on the semi-legal pay places it's still more than black market. It's just that the selection is better because it's a co-op of sorts. The prices suck.


You may be right. I only know 4 people who make a living as cannabis producers. Maybe you know more. Only one is in Cali. Either way, they all say the prices are justified via work and efforts involved. My one buddy makes only 60k/year as a farmer. Its not exactly rich. If prices were to drop he would hafta increase production to pay bills. It ain't gonna happen.


It all comes down to the price of the tax. If its $10gram, most will stay black market. If its $1/gram, maybe you'll get people to cough up $450/lb. My one budd says thats $11k/year. That's a decent sized tax. Then you tax the 60k income by what? 30% on businesses? So, then the income that was 60k is now 40k but, he must charge 70k to be there? Get it yet? The grower still wants 60k/ year. Since he cant grow more he must charge more.
