So, let me get this straight, these farmers have been doing this for generations while it was entirely illegal. Now, you make it legal, but set so many roadblocks for the average farmer that's it's impossible to enter the legal side. Then, you're shocked that they decide to continue growing it illegally just cause there's now a parallel legal market that they can't enter even if they want?!?! Who didn't see this coming?!?!?!

i have deffently seen people that cant handle it, but i have seen the same with alcohol.. for people with schizophrenia or other serius mental health problems for example, it might trigger some problems.. or make them realize they have the condition..(more and more people have mental issues these days) people also react different to alcohol, and like people say natives that did not drink for many genarations does not reacts well to alcohol.. the same may be the case to some degree with cannabis and inuit´s for example.. blocking recetors with other medications for example can cause problems when treating cancer for example, the receptors can without a doubt also cause a mental issue in some cases cb receptors are without a doubt a path to a treatment for mental health issues but that path can also lead to other places if not done correct and women also have twice the amount of receptors in the brain, a woman can often handle less then a man for that reason. and if we are talking a woman with mental health issues it might be a bigger problem then if it was a man (and who knows perhaps inuits just have more cb receptors )

It's not so much the regulations, it's the cost and taxes as the grower explained. They should start by having these costs be extremely low, to have the legal market dominate and destroy the illegal one. Wait like 2 decades, it will culturally become a normal legalized industry and then start taxing like tobacco which seems fair. Of course, none of this will work until the other states and the federal government legalize it too. Till then, the sigma will prevail and so the black market for export.

I have never had a reason to visit a legal distributor or pot store.

The problem is that states have decided they will allow it to be legal if they get a very big, fat, payday from it. With that in mind they have created a system where they are trying to sell a legal product at highly inflated illegal prices which leaves the incentive to raise it illegally in place. To get crime out of the business they need to make pot just plain legal to grow at home as much as you want, which, would crash the prices and disincentivize criminals. There would still be a market for high quality pot, as not everyone has the skills to raise the quality we see here but, enough people can do it that it could be a cottage industry where some people could could make extra money raising a few plants and a few would be popular enough to make a better income but a lot of people might just be happy with less potent pot. I would rather drink a beer or a glass of wine as opposed to chugging shots of Ever-clear and the same is true for pot. I'd rather smoke a joint of Colombian or some other mild but good tasting pot than smoke the super high potency stuff. The only reason the high potency stuff came about in the first place was to be able to smuggle more value in a smaller package.

The problem is, it was sold to these states as a way to make money if they made it legal. Well the funny part is, if a law is a law only because you can make some money on it, then it is hard to stand up and say the law was ever a fair law to have had in the first place. So they maybe feel tricked? :)

If I was a Pot user I wouldn't buy ( legal ) pot simply because I would never pay the taxes on it. I voted against the ( legalization ) of it because It non of the business of gov. to tell us what we can do with our own bodies in our pursuit of happiness. I am a Colorado resident. If I wanted to grow it for my own personal use I could legally do it. At least they got that right, unlike Florida.

Funny thing for me personally, smoking weed helped me kick my serious alcohol dependancy addiction, I'm not replacing the addiction with another tho cuz sometimes I'm out of weed for weeks even months without decending back in my destructive alco pit. Thank you MJ you saved my life!

If you want the best tomatoes you grow them or get from a friend they can't be found in stores they need too much hand work and are not profitable. Its the same with weed. Both plants require the same growing conditions any grandma can grow both.

So, are a few plants at home for personal and recreational use legal?

I have never done any drugs or smoked or drank in my entire life. But I have seen many use-cases of this plant. From anti-seizure medicine to building homes, to beauty products and hair products.. the applications are really endless. I have a shampoo with it and I have also seen drinks using it.. I think it should be allowed to be used for more of these applications.

30:59 these next few minutes of this mans conversation are some of the most humble, heartfelt words that any addict can speak. And the emotion that comes up when he talks about remembering the shell of himself he was back when he 1st got sober I can sooo fell those words and emotions he is reliving. Being a recovering addict myself 5-22-19 is the day I started to learn how to live and feel alive. And with the help from so many other people along the way I sit here today Proud, humble, enthusiastic, loyal,honest and dedicated to who I am. I never learned how to handle or process anything growing up. I wasn't allowed to show emotion. And just like everyone else in my class we all went to the same keg parties, sniffed the same coke, did X together, acid, shrooms you name it we all did it--- BUT the difference is I became addicted, not all of us did! SO NO I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BE AN ADDICT, it chose me in a sense. Because why then didn't all of us become addicts, why was it just a select few of us if we all did the same shht.....? Don't put people down, they'll only feel like they deserve to stay down. Try lifting someone up because at the end of the day It's not about you, it's about helping them isn't it.....

I like your mentality. Life is about helping the next up the ladder as you climb yourself. The "enter addiction here" that you had and moved past is because you had an issue and I am glad you solved it, I am similar I enjoy a few drinks, but to know others make it out is a good sign. There's really no answer as to why who did and didn't become addicted, other than maybe we have addictive personalities and just have to learn how to control that. Some learn, some go off the deep end and if they don't realize they need that help themselves then you can try but if they're not ready, they're not ready. It's as unfortunate as that.

Growing a single plant can give you months of goodies to smoke. Get a decent grow light (to grow large buds) and do some learning. Save yourself hundreds and thousand over your lifetime. Its rare in life you can put in such little effort for so great reward as growing your own plants.

i would rather help feed my dealer's family than help corporate weeders get richer

The leaf, when you have enough, can make decent quantities of hash without sacrificing buds.

The only concern I have with all the weed being grown in US is the sheer amount of water need to grow weed. It take roughly 1.85 gallons of water to grow 1/8th ounce of bud, 12.7 gallons to grown 1 ounce, 237 gallons to grow 1lb . Just in Colorado in 2022, there was 623 tons of weed grown by major weed growers which required roughly 296 million gallons of water. Weed is grown all along the west coast with over 200 major growers in California alone. I suspect just in CA and CO the water consumption is well over a billion gallons of water used annually. And, people out west are watching their main water supplies deteriorating rapidly from main water sources like Colorado River and Lake Mead.
