screw plant counts etc. not that I live in a legal state, and not that this would really mean it would be *easier* on the grower for it to be this way, but this is how it should be done:
A state has provisions for SOME type of legalized marijuana production. now, how the gov (state, or local, etc, would take a lot of discussion to really decide) SHOULD go about making their cut, and making sure everyone is going about their business SAFELY, is create x amount of licensed "grow room electricians (as many are necessary, this could mean as many as 10 to 20 k new jobs). This electricians install a new meter in or around the grow space, limited to a set amperage (which hell, could be as many as 100 amps). this electricity is HIGHLY taxed. instead of .11 cents a kwh, i'm talking like, 2 bucks a kwh (or more, depending on how things go you know). this money can be divied between whichever govt agency is in charge of regulating this, and the electricity suppliers, and ideally directly reinvested into renewable energy sources.
With this kind of power restriction, and the new costs associated with it, you will have a wide variance in production numbers, obviously with the noobs not making any money, and the pros getting by alright. that being said, no one who is following the law should die in an electrical fire due to grow op mistakes, and everyone is on an even playing field power wise, which is the real limiting factor in yeild once you've achieved G status and dialed your strains in. This will also force growers to explore new routes in efficiency, as all of their cooling systems, water pumps, lights, etc will be limited, and whoever can push the envelope the most, will be the most successful. with the advent of LED tech (yeah yeah I know, hps or bust, but by the the time this legislature got passed LEDs may even be a thing of the past), people could really come up with some interesting solutions.
I guess thats all I got for now. I've thought this up at least 40 sep times, whilts toking on some of my own herb, and I really think this is the fair way to do it: thoughts?
