I always get a kick out of "privilege" licenses. The brothels in Nevada are privileged! In every state all licenses associated with fees are called a "privilege" license--fishing , hunting, driver license etc. The most diabolical is when your "work" requires a privileged license as a means of a roundabout tax.

Like the state is doing one a favor--but, they can take it away.

Yea yea what ever!!!
don't mean shit if they don't raise the amount you can have in your system before they can fire or bust you.

Our second amendment isn't a privilege we have the right to bare arms, the hunting yes its is but at the same time if there was no such thing as mcdonalds that would still be our means of food so really that dosnt make any since at all we need a license. And growing is not a right its a privilege rights are given to us by god not our government, Land of The Free more like Land of the Fee, because even our KNown RIGHTS we have to pay for! not trying to start anything hank my brother just wanted to state that Linceses and Rights dont go together but for some reason our government has mad the public believe that they control or rights when that is not the case! Because 3 years ago you would not have said you have "The Right" to grow because it was still illegal, but now that its legel you can say that but the government doesn not decide whats a right or not those are already set in stone. My point is Just because the government passes a law doesnt make it a right in their eyes its just another priviledge.

IDS I highlighted something in black. I want you to think real hard about it.
A government law, a license, and a right are 3 different things. They can intermingle but are 3 different things.
Read on Federalism.


So in the state of Colorado I do have a right to grow.

Don't take any offense to this, but...

Instead of moaning about the inflated price of legal dispensed pot, don't you think it's actually great that the government is trying their hardest to figure out a way of keeping good quality pot in the dispenseraries, grown by license holders in strict parameters defined by the state. This is revolutionary. This is a step forward in the right direction. This is the first step towards legalisation and they are building a system to enforce only the best buds hitting the retail market.

If you ask me, 600 a oz isn't new at all, during the early 2000's we had a clone only strain rarely seen outside of Texas called Shoreline, not the seeds you buy online, but the real deal Holyfield. It wasn't unusual to pay 5-600 an oz of that stuff because of the supreme high quality.

Ask New Yorkers what the real ecsd went for in the 90's and 2000's and they will say the same, I used to drive lbs up to Oklahoma from Texas and profit over a grand a lb. and I was buying at 350 a lb for good Mexican Reggie.

The times are a changing in a good way, and were all along on this ride, wait a few years and things WILL get better, not as good as growing your own, but for the retail consumer who doesn't have the gumption to successfully complete a grow and keep going, 600 an oz is a small price to pay for medication with very little side affects and almost no proven addiction..

Ease up fellas its legal in states of the United States of America, this is just fucking awesome. And as an expat living in Australia, you guys are lucky as hell and I've seriously considered coming home to escape harsh punishment being caught with a single gram.

Weigh it up. I'd rather pay 600 legally than 250 and risk being thrown in the slammer..

I agree, at least its legal. When u pay 300 for a oz for shit bagweed and cant do anything about it is so dissapointing, and the fact that u can get done for it aswell. I would happily pay 600 an oz for quality legal smoke

The prices will drop once it isn't a new thing... When I first got my MMJ card dispensaries here in Cali were selling 1/8 for $60-$70. Now I won't pay more than $45 for an 1/8.

All of the legalization that has been done recently could be for nothing since it is still federally illegal. If the president decides to let the DEA do what they want then the legal retail stores are going to be the first target. Just a couple of years ago the DEA decided to start raiding dispensaries in my area and shut most of them down, since then even more have popped up.

I saw a documentary the other day that said there isn't a single country in the world that ganja is legal. It has been decriminalized but not made legal. Since they have regulations on it it isn't "legal" if it was you could grow and possess as much as you want...

 

[Guerrilla]

Wow! 600$ a zip! Gotta love inflation

 

[Moe]

It isn't legal here and won't be for a while, IMO. I grow for my own use and don't sell so I don't get noticed. If something gets popular it gets taxed. Government spends every dollar they take from us twice, than say we didn't pay them enough. Sometimes I think we might be better off without any government.

That has always been the problem with Gubermints
