As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

      Do you think buying it from a street dealer isn’t corporatized? Cartels are basically just black market multinationals at this point. If anything, legalization would make it less corporate since you could grow it in your backyard.

      It will seem more corporate once it’s legal, but that’s just because the business is being conducted in daylight.

        There’s an in-between you haven’t considered, which is my local mom and pop pot shop. Yes some of these dispensaries are corporations, eg Mr Nice Guy, but most are not able to be corporations due to issues with banking because it’s not legal at the US federal level. If it became legal at the federal level, then there wouldn’t be any barriers for Walmart or any other very very large corporation to take hold of the industry and capitalize on it.

          As long as people are allowed to grow, I don’t give a crap about Walmart or any other company selling weed. It’s much easier to grow and process than tobacco, so there will always be a another market that offers quality.

      It’s a plant that grows in the ground, it’ll get about as corporatized as tomatoes. Meaning people will try, but they can’t really stop you from growing legal plants in your garden.

            It is but it doesn’t stop a massive corporate industry from growing around it as the original comment implied would happen with cannabis.

              I now see the angle you were taking in your comment.

              I read it as no one can stop you from growing it,

              And I believe you are saying corpos will mass commercialize it just.like tobacco.

              Thanks!

            Not in Australia! You’ll get a bigger fine for growing tobacco than cannabis. Reason: the government is losing taxes on the tobacco.

        It’s really easy to grow great weed in your closet, if you’re not worried about getting busted it gets even easier and cheaper not having to go as hardcore on smell and security

        Got a cheap LED board: 75

        Got 4 bottles of nutrients that last me ~4 harvests: 75

        Fabric pots: 15

        Coco Coir (reusable and lasts a long ass time), enough for 20 pots: 30

        Seeds: depends on your guy

        So long as you water and react properly to any nutrient issues you encounter you’ll get something better than a dispensary will sell you 9/10, and if you were to sell your plants proceeds for bottom-shelf prices you’d still make your money back with profit

        I FIM train and use a basic water/nutrient schedule and a timer to control my lights, get almost an oz a plant of absolute quality green damn near every time. I must emphasize, too: I’m a fucking idiot who barely knows what he’s doing, my brother is insane and gets RESULTS

          How long does it take for it to grow? I want to get into it, I just want to make sure I can grow enough to supply my demands without having to wait on it to grow.

            From seed to harvest it’s about 90 days, if you get an autoflowering Type it’ll likely tell you exactly how many days

            From harvest to trim I do about a day, then 3 weeks to a month of drying, and then a month in a jar to stew before it’s “ready to go”

            4-5 months depending on how hardcore you do the after-harvest stuff, basically. I keep 2 sets in rotation, when one goes to flower I plant another, basically
