Hello ROI community, Ive been spending hours upon hours of reading forums and doing research on my move to Cali. Im exhausted with it and would like to make my final decision by end of DEC. I live in a state where growing is illegal and dont feel the need to risk my freedom right now. I would like to move to Cali at beginning of 2012 and try this grow thing. I would like some input and help from all you Cali residents. I am looking for someone who would be kind enough to help me meet the right people and give useful information to get me going in the right direction. From the other posts Ive read I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MOVE WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT BUT ID LIKE TO KEEP THIS THREAD POSITIVE AND WITH IDEAS THAT COULD HELP ME MAKE THIS MOVE SUCCESSFULL.
My situation:
my job has approved a transfer to Cali, so my goal would be to keep my job and then do this project on the side. Thus allowing me to keep my standard of living right now until the time is right to move on from this job. I would like to move somewhere in LA or surrounding areas. I am looking for the following:
-a safe neighborhood
-a place somewhat lax on the laws of cannabis growing
-15 min or less from what is considered a social scene( im young and would like to have some sort of social life)
-somewhat middle income area.
Input on this would be priceless.
as far as what I plan on doing:
I would like to start off a small scale grow within the guidelines of the laws and grow for like 2-3 patients. I have a friend who is donating all the equipment for this since he has decided to retire from the business.
I would like to get some answers to the following questions as I am either unclear of the answers or would need help with the situation:
1. If I decide to set up a small house or apt grow do I have to get inspections of some sort?
2.Does government entity need to monitor my location or know my address for any reason? Id obv like to keep this a secret for fear or rippers or LEO.
3.I know it depends on quality but how hard/easy is it for me to sell my extra medicine to dispensaries?
4. I see a lot of different numbers and would like to know what the average price is per pound of medicine?
please share your story if you have left your state for the same purpose. I would like to know yr thoughts negative or positive and anything that might help along the way.
If you dont feel like posting and have some thoughts to share a PM would be more than welcomed.
I am going back to CALI in Jan to pick out a place to live and speak to an attorney about all the questions I might have. But in the meantime would love this communities input as It will be very valuable to me and help out with my move. I thank you all in advance for all your positive feedback.
P.S. not only have I done tons of research but I might have some experience growing so I am not going out there totally blind.
Cheers
