    Your brilliant plan failed when you were unable to bullshit your way out of a routine traffic stop. :no:

    60 pounds isn't shit. I just wrote a geotechnical investigation and did a perc test (they want to do leach pits as county sewer lines are so far away) out in Desert Hot Springs for an absolutely giant indoor grow facility. It is huge yet two others already under construction are larger with even bigger ones planned. We are talking massive operations selling millions of pounds a year, more likely tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions. Each. With dozens of them just in that one remote desert town.

    The market is going to be flooded, just aboslutely flooded, with high quality indoor grow delivered at high volume. Tons at a time. Yeah, every pot head thinks he is the master but the economies of acale are going to shrink margins and drive out the punters like Walmart does small business.

    In Desert Hot Springs, though? Seems like an awful amount of water consumption... in an area not well suited for it.

    State regulations push it out to the boonies. It has to be so far from schools, so far from old folks homes, so far from... Who gives a fuck? The second issue is land cost and it doesn't get cheaper than waste desert land. In the end, yes, the AC costs money, the lights cost money, the building costs money, the triple racked grow rooms cost money. But the expected margin justifies it.

    Now, with that kind of money flooding into production I expect margins to fall like a rock but even a mentally ill dumb ass like Sava can make some money before the market is flooded. His time is extremely limited though and while he is playing video games and smoking pot the real MBAs will be bringing down production costs and making MJ cigs cost less then a pack of real cigs. That is when Sava takes his final hit and figures out he has been squeezed out by superior competitors.

    golf courses aren't suited for the desert either though! Anyway great gift idea -IF YOU LIVE WHERE IT IS LEGAL! Starting 2018 small amounts will be legal in Vermont, and commercial growing following all state licensing/regulations just like any other business.
    SPOILER ALERT: it's not yet 2018, and the couple are not running a licensed business.

    Morally I have no problem with drugs (alcohol is indeed a drug too) but you still have to follow the law or this happens.

    the drug war is a failed policy! much better that citizens woke up and nullified any and all drug cases that are brought forward by prosecutors. then maybe these pigs could find something worthwhile to do than bust old people just trying to spread some joy!
