RIGHT but there are people that don't care your talking about a very small slice of the pie that wants to pay 300$ for the best weed they can.. thats not the case at all with the majority.

People are definitely moving to wa. Lol. If you're active on the forums you should be seeing it. And no I don't think someone with $100k in the bank is going to move there. I think someone with several 100 thousand will. I'm in la and there's s bunch of dispensaries owned by Russians and Armenians that literally moved here from their respective countries to cash out on weed. I know one guy personally, Russian that had his dad give him about a half mill to move out here and open up a dispensary/warehouse. Their dispensary kills it. Opened up fully stocked with prices lower than any of the dispensaries in the area, by a lot.

oh yea theres companies that are main stream now opening in those areas as legalization happens and jumping from state to state as they open up.. its just like anyother business and believe it or not these big guys are keeping quality a must they want the "walmart of weed" title .. so that you know if you go from state to state you can depend on their product to be consistent in all areas.

they are building 6 million dollar grow rooms employing and paying top wages to very experienced and knowledge growers they are just the business end of everything. basically they are the money train these big guys aren't dumping millions into the chance of growing good pot that might sell they are putting whatever the hell it takes into having the best

ok and who's going to buy all that weed? those are the people I'm talking about.... some nurse from nebraska takes her life savings to move to MI to buy weed?!?! theres plenty of shady business men in michigan to open the shops ITS THE CUSTOMER BASE IM TALKING ABOUT.
I've been a salesman in this state for more 18 years. electronics specifically. you know how many top end samsung or sony we sell?? a few.. you know how many vizio we sell?? A FUCKLOAD AND A HALF! like i said with the natties ice comparison. the economy here isn't based on the best weed for the top dollar or the worst weed for cheap..
people here demand about a 75-85% quality level at a 60-70% price level and as a business owner if your customer base demands decent quality at a low price your in trouble. samsung competes in this market by slapping a vizio sticker on the outside of a samsung TV and selling it a bit cheaper but in the farming world you just can't slap a lower price on some top shelf theres noticeable differences and you will go poor soon with that business model.
in our market a high yielding strain that keeps you above 1g/w and eats less then normal is your best bet. but in our rapper centric culture things like OG and Blueberry have taking most of the market share and those are low low yielders so finding a strain to emulate the quality and taste of the local favorites that yields more then normal and costs less then normal to produce is megaweeds only chance... and are they going to pull that off? I'm sure one or 2 might but thats a fucking MASTER master grower who set that up for success and not the dispensary owner.
in economic climates like we see ourselves in michigan its much better to emulate a farmer then any grower you see on the internet. farmers know how to put a minimum in and get a maximum out of high quality.

People buy alcohol before they pay rent... I'm pretty sure, for some, it's the same with weed. Hence my detrimental effects comment.

seriously? i just don't think your getting it.. but feel how you want
you can't think of big business coming in and trying they aren't taking that chance they are just investors that are very well versed in running a successful business and thats really what matters. And you keep talking like they are producing shit.. they aren't in that business

well those people are irresponsible and obviously don't have very much money so you can't base an entire economy around hoping no one pays their rent..

your basing the whole medical community around the few you sell to so why not? your sitting here acting like 80% of michigan will pay 65$ an with before they will pay 40$ an eigth and thats just not true in anyway dispensaries sell more 10$ grams than they do 20$ grams and thats a fact.

they are producing shit.... megaweed laws means you gotta grow your own smoke if you have a dispensary... in co it doesn't matter if you have 10,000 plants you just gotta be able t supply your need...
and investors aren't going to dump money into a failing state like michigan when the CO economy is doing so well outside the canna industry. the michigan economy is one of the most cash strapped market in the free world(white market not black market) why would you invest your money here versus somewhere like CA or CO or WA? or oregon? or any of the other states that have a good economy with money to spend..
your talking about opening a bar that sells lemonade in a poor lemon growing region of the world... why would you do that? sure a couple schmuch tourists from somewhere far away might come buy some of your lemonade but no one locally is going to.. why would megaweed make the same mistake?
don't get me wrong i know 2 guys locally that have there licenses and they are going hard in the paint. 1000 plants no problem... and guess what the quality is balls and they are asking 15-20a gram.. in a year they won't be in business anymore or at the very least will be much less richer then they anticipated..

Lol, the sad thing is that it is a very large part of our economy that is irresponsible with their finances/priorities. Literally a majority of media and marketing is targeting that demographic. It's where most of the consumer money goes. Unnecessary bullshit that's marketed to make stupid people feel they need it enough to go buy it with money they don't have. Have you not seen how the us commercial market works? Watched tv....ever?
Stupid people/people who are terrible with their finances fuel our economy. Smart people do things like save money and/or make initial investments so that their returns cover any stupid expenditures they have. Therefore never spending any money that actually effects things like your housing/food situation.

i dont support commercial grows but i can tell you they do not grow shit weed. they are the reason a lot of dispensaries in michigan have slowed and stopped buying from smaller growers. there are commercial operations running here that are pumping out weight of shit most growers aren't even touching quality wise and they are able to dump it cheap because they are holding rights to 5x the count you could ever hold.

not at all. most our state won't pay more then 35 an eighth for $50 an eighth quality level.. thats a problem when your trying to make a lot of money. its basic economics why big weed will fail in MI but that doesn't mean it won't come here. i just know the people working on the laws are at least educated on these same economic principles too so lets hope they keep the home garden model to give the dispensaries something to compete with. its when the home garden can't openly trade his overages that we see the problem where in now where growers can't get paid but dispensary owners get rich..
somewhere in the middle hopefully we can find relief and the dispensary owners/megaweed can do their thing and take their share of the low end mid level market but leave the mid-high to high level market to the connoisseur small batch growers... sorta like we do with beer.

Limiting the number of plants is crippling for home grows. WA is dropping medical plant limit from 15 to six on July 1. Fuck! Gotta grow em big... But wait; there's more! Can't grow em too big because they also dropped the max we are allowed to possess from 24 ozs to eight. Double fuck!

and thats a silly way to start a business and most people starting businesses know that. michigan isn't going to attract any SMART investors from outside the state.

i know what you wanna feel like could or would happen its just not the case. and you thinking that because we have a economy thats not up will not attract big businesses isn't the case either if legalization happened wether or not we have money means shit.. people are going to spend billions a year on pot being legal .. economy has nothing to do with it and actually drug and alcohol sales rise when economies are low.
