your knowledge of how one grows quality weed is comparable to my understanding of physics. and it still fails to address the fact that even where its legal folks are getting robbed and killed
MJ is not so magical it somehow bends both the laws of physics and economics. My main worry if MJ is legalized is that it will somehow end up in the farm subsidy program.
People are also getting robbed and killed where MJ is illegal and GeneralÃssimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
I grow marijuana quite easily in my apartment. I currently have four plants growing. It's ordinary, here, for legitimate medical users to grow their own - that was the original intent of the law. With simple instructions from the local clinics and whatnot, I've been able to grow (for a few dollars/oz) product on par with the top quality available product which is $250/oz. :)
Just sayin', roo_ster - C&SD has you, there.
Also, C&SD, I think that's either the third or fourth time we've ever fully agreed on a single point. :D
If ADM cultivated hundreds of thousands of acres of it legally across Kansas, it wouldn't be $250/oz on the open market.
Here is what I found WRT the cost of alcohol during prohibition:
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1071773"Fisher’s alcohol price index shows that average increase in alcohol price is about 360 percent between 1916 and 1928"
Using that data, the $250/oz MJ would run a little less than $70/oz. Sure, some would still find it worth their while to grow it indoors, but not nearly as many as do now.
Also, PTK, have you trashed your domicile so that you have become a burden to your neighbors? Illegally tapped into the power grid due to your four plants? The article that prompted that part of the discussion focused on mass-growers who trashed their houses, ruined the neighborhood, and committed all sort of othe racts already currently illegal.
