Not sure where you are from but its not LEGAL to grow anywhere in the US.
In CO I believe it is 6 plants. You can only have 3 in flower. Dont quote me 100% on that though.

That's a load of bullshit in a way. If i do not earn money i am not paying taxes but i have every right to use those services none the less. That is how taxes work, whether you like it or not. Hence why there is so much controvesy about higher taxes on the rich than poor, and the spongers on their various government benefits still receiving services paid for by taxes. But like it or not that is how it is.
The super rich could say that you only pay say 10% of your earnings in tax so you only get to use tax funded services a fraction of the amount that those paying 45% do.
don't get me wrong though, i hate tax avoidance and that lot, but it's stupid to go off on the don't phone the police kinda stuff, it simply is what it is.

You are correct. 6 plants per 21 and over w/ 3 in flower, 3 in veg. Max 12 plants per dwelling regardless of how many adults live there. (applies to most areas)

Yep, recreational is 6 per adult in the house but I think Denver is wanting to limit that to a max of 12. edit: BF beat me to it
Wild scenario (for a good perspective)
Who is the one more likely to get busted by the feds and/or cops:
A house in Colorado for a 3 plant operation?
A house in a "illegal" state with the same 3 plant operation
I understand state vs federal like everyone else, but having it legal in the state is the extra justification. I understand that this scenario probably evens out at 100+ plants.

if you say its for making edibles, in colorado you can grow 24 total (flower and veg). In cali it varies through each county. most are 6 /12 . San Jose has no limit. Humby and mendo are 100sq ft per patient. there you can carry 3 lbs. and every where else its 1/2 lbs. but if you say you need more for your condition you can grow up to 99

I'm very glad that people can grow and possess cannabis without the fear of arrest and incarceration, but I do understand the outrage over such a high tax. But what really blows my mind is why does it cost so much these days when there is more of it? When I started smoking in the 80s, I could buy a nickle bag ($5) that was basically a baggie with a fingers worth, a dime bag ($10) was two fingers. That was also a time when it was hard to find, at least where I was then. What caused the prices to skyrocket since then? Especially when more and more of it is being produced in the country now, as opposed to having to smuggle it in like in the old days?
Crap, people now are selling tiny little nugs that are almost a pinner for $40-60 each. Which is why I'm glad to have learned to grow my own!

Congrats to Colorado, and a big thank you. Chip away at the criminality -- the economics will take care of itself. What Colorado has done will slowly pave the way for similar legislation in every other state. And I'm looking forward to that!

I would pay those prices in a heartbeat if i were desperate and couldn't grow and had lots of spare cash to waste on overpriced things

Its only in the Denver area so far.
And they price they are asking now is the street price over ten years ago.

Posted yesterday of the cost.
The price will go down. It did with the medical in this state. I saw it for 99-125 an ounce all the time.
They will make a shit load of money, and so will the state. People will stop buying it from a shop and only by from a dealer.
When that happens the shops will drop the price and people will come back.
Prices will drop. They have to. I could see 250 zips in a year.
Its hard to use a right thats not a right. Roads are paid with gas taxes, if you dont have any money your not buying gas and your not driving.
Its a luxury tax. So is buying beer, cigarettes, pot, lotto tickets, ect.
A luxury tax is something you can avoid.

It doesn't really matter what form the tax is. In the western world it is pretty much always the case that the taxpayers pay for services that the non-tsx payer gets to use. It doesn't matter who it is, where it is, the police have to respond to a murder. Anyone coming in with the "don't use...." Mindset, well they're just an idiot. When I say that, I do not mean that they are not being logical, but I'm saying that in that they simply don't understand reality. The tax payer ALWAYS ends up subsidising someone whether we like it or not. That is life. That is how taxes work. Even if everyone paid tax, as per my previous post, it would still be the case. Rich people pay substantially higher tax rates than the poor yet they all get the same service. Just as the lowest tax rates get the same service as those paying no tax. People have no right to ask people who don't pay tax not to use services so long as they accept the super rich paying higher tax rates.
