So why are all pot users not growing their own pot now?

Too much effort would be my guess. If you only smoke once in a while, are you going to invest in growing equipment? Same reason that most beer and wine drinkers don't make their own either. At $200 an ounce current price, you'd think most pot users would grow their own. Wouldn't that actually solve all the problems - if everybody grew for their own little need, so much for gangs completely.

What do you and OTI think the reason is? And OTI, you realize Brenda is for pot legalization, don't you? But I guess you'll jump on anybody's point to help your cause?

So pot smokers support gangs cause they're too lazy?

Amazingly enough, some of us actually have experience in real world situations that you have no clue about. We have education and experience that extends beyond Google, or your mom's basement.

So tell us about your experience, Yoda, that means you know more than cops and judges and attorney's general. Tell us about your great successes in busting pot gangsters and keeping the that dangerous scourge off our streets.

You said Brenda had an excellent point. So let's hear your reason why you think it's an excellent point and why you think pot users don't grow their own? And how does that back up your argument in any way?

I've given you one very good reason. Guess you're too stupid to take it in, but let me give it one more try: If you smoke pot occasionally, are you going to invest in growing equipment to grow way more than you can consume, when it's so easy to buy on the street? Are you going to exposes yourself for getting busted when you know the cops will let you skate if you're only holding a little bit of weed?

Your unshakable belief that an activity that's conducted by a bunch of organized crime dirtbags is going to be re-staffed overnight after legalization by some happy mom-n-pop farmers is simply astounding. You should have been an evangelical preacher because you've got that I'm-always-right-regardless obstinate faith in yourself running at about 1000 RPM.

I would expect growing pot would be a business like growing tobacco is, except that a lot more people will grow it for their own consumption, as I assume they already do. How are the dirtbags going to compete with legal pot - and what would be the point?

No taxes to pay if they remain underground, which means they can sell at a current price instead of tacking on another 25% for the government? No government regulation interfering with the potency of a high-powered crop which'll keep the chronics coming back for more instead of having to opt for weaker government-approved varieties? This isn't like opening a deli, and there's no way that the current culprits are going to voluntarily become good members of the business community. Saying otherwise is pure fantasy.

OK OTI, you've managed to "eureka" the thread twice now. Put up or shut up.

[Lemmy]

Once it's legal and people can grow their own, they will. There'll be no more of a market for government weed than gangster weed. Both those groups can try to market a product, but I can't see why anyone would purchase what they can easily grow.

Why does she make an excellent point?

Because you could build your own little setup for less than 1 oz. of weed purchased from the gangs you'd like to see reduced.

You could save yourself money.

I don't give a shit about your personal life, but you raised the issue about anonymity, yet turn tail when challenged on it.

Yep, pot heads could save a lot of money of they grew their own. What does that have to do with legalization or not? Maybe like you say they're too lazy, or as PA points out they don't want to get busted for it or as I point out there's no point if you're only smoking the occasional joint. More likely all three of those reasons plus many others apply. What that's got to do with the discussion?

You seized on a point made by somebody who's for legalization, but you can't give any reason why the point is relevant in the first place. You just keep slinging the shit.

How many times have police been into your home? How many times have the cops dropped by for tea, scones and a house inspection?

I'm guessing never.

The chances of you growing a couple plants in your home and getting caught is about as likely as my dick growing to 12" by the end of the day.

Full blown grow-ops often last years in a neighborhood without detection.

Certainly enough to be considered intention to distribute. Under the new law, 6 or more plants will get a 1 year minimum sentence.

But wait...we've been told that you'd have a criminal record for possession.

Just a fine? No criminal record? No life-damaging experience?

I have no problem with growing a max of 5 plants for personal use.
I would have a problem if you and your 4 roommates each grow 5 plants for personal use and sell everything you don't use, since you are the only user.
