Live Stoner Chat THC University

provided to those in need at low or no cost

I don't agree with that model at all, No such thing has free high quality cannabis, i do agree people shouldn't have to be 400 an oz, but 250 an oz is very reasonable for some high quality smoke. It cost alot of time and money and skill to grow quality meds. If i wasn't a grower i would not expect people to just hand it to me for free. You can compare it to any field of work. Mechanic shouldn't charge because tools are paid for?

I will give a few of my close friends some bud for free every now and then, but they know it cost alot for me to get it to them.

I listened to a pod cast awhile back where they mentioned these 100 dollar oz at dispensary and they bought some from various ones and had them tested. They tested positive for Eagle 20.

Like I said bro I live outside the city and am dying to teach new grower the right way to do organics.Hit me up bro we'll have a chat n a drink n a smoke someday.I have one that comes by every few weeks.But ive been following this model for a while and to many displeasure Pop is right..atleast for now,its a very limited biz type model that reguardless of what experience you have (for the most part that is ofcourse) you'll not work in the biz in DC.its too young,small and specifically designed to be a pain in theass atm.But an online course is great FROMN growers.,BUT i think the major issue is a credable place to learn said things and if its recognized and accepted as law so to speak..

And imo what many will not touch on is true customer/patient relations.situations and experience in the field will pay off.Also getting a product for your shop too.cuz if i understand it right most have to provide and grow for their own supply,and have to grow either on premises and/or just offsite with another set of their own rules..well it used to be that way for some buddies.but as far as DC and MD go imho its gonna be best if you gather knowledge and time under your belt and then hit MD when they get it going a lil more.I have severl ppl that have a major interest in backing me and another friend as a team.But a small team.But I think some should be focused on the grower/producer aspect and laws therein,since (like myself)id betting there are TONS of ppl who want a biz yes.BUT,imo once they relized how much hassel is involved many like me will want to grow only to provide for said shop.thats my goal,not to own a shop.way too many hassels in a new state id think.But killer idea!!

Growing is where I'd love to get involved with the biz. Owning a shop, like you said, Eyes, sounds like it would be too much of a hassle, but to be growing a some bud that is top quality, and highly sought out, is what I'd love to do. There are some great ideas flying around this thread!

 

[Eyes on Fire]

Well I plan to stay well away of DC though actually.MD is the better place imo.the Model is so designed in DC cuz they actually said OH we dont NEED the money ,we have plenty in our State Budget LMFAO then i thought WELL OFCOURSE YA DO!!Silly me,so I hope my buddies open a shop up n ill grow for them,and make it my signature Organic Style and the tatse is already there.and med patients especially outta the gate truly sick sickies such as myselof WILL seek out the organic smoother better quality for essentially the same cost and get that extra piece of nice too.people who actually give a shit.cuz as we all know there are a lot of ppl out there who only see the fiscal year earnings n thats ashame.LOL!

A good tutorial online as it were is a stellar way to gain knowledge,but if you befriended ppl in the industry like I have,you can attain much of the knowledge and going on and hassles it really can be over time.the biggest thing I guess if AFn or anywhere really did a how to,how would that become accepted as the best normal way to learn,as recognized by schools and/or the biz.since Id think many will want that paper and accredited type of school.does that make sense?

Mossy that's great!!! The only thing I can think of to add would be a course on getting financing and/or federal grants you all would be surprised how much money the government will give you if you know how to ask for it

I agree, and that was the whole reason I started this thread. I feel that, at some point, there is going to be an industry standard, and certain certifications and "universities" will be more accepted and recognized than others, and some will be total scams. I guess, being that the industry is so young , at least the legal industry, there really is no way to tell which courses are really worth the money, and which schools really are reputable. I'm sure that I've learned more on AFN than I'd learn from many of the online courses that are now available, but if those courses led to me earning some type certificate or degree that was widely accepted and respected, I'd still be willing to pay to take that course

Green, I would have to agree with Wax on this. Some horticulture classes from the local U will probably give you more bang for the buck. In can provide a good foundation theory and practices even if all can't be directly applied to canna. As far as a school or university supplying a degree or accreditation that would be meaningful, is a ways down the road when things are more organized (and controlled). Personally, I don't look forward to that. With organization and control comes the really big money. With that the vibe changes, motivations change to profit and greed, and quality suffers.

A donation to AFN would also be money well spent too. A veritable wealth of information can be gleaned from the AFN "think tank" as you well know. What more could you ask for?

 

[ThaGreenBandit]

I have thought about looking into some horticulture classes at the local community college because I would love to have that extra knowledge under my belt. I think it will be a while before they get things organized, and have recognized universities, but it would be nice if there was a route we could take to being recognized as legitimate growers once we have paid our dues.
