Why are US cannabis growers losing profits? – BBC News
California was the first US state to legalise medical marijuana in 1996, and recreational use has been legal since 2016.
It is home to the so-called “green rush” of cannabis production.
The state’s law, however, is full of regulatory loopholes, which means the legality of marijuana cultivation varies across the state.
So while it’s legal to use cannabis in the state, nearly two-thirds of California cities have banned marijuana businesses, with others making it extremely difficult to obtain permits.

So if I call my grow a religious experience I can be free to sell to the open market too? These ladies went to a Halloween shop, got themselves some costumes and are fooling everyone. I call bs
The best thing that ever happened to organized crime and the cartels was legalizing weed. What fool thought that they would adhere to regulations and pay taxes?

Respect to these nuns.. they clearly have a higher calling in life ๐คฃ
They could put this president’s face and vice president on rolls of toilet paper made from medical Marijuana and add the president of Mexico and make a fortune!
religious are the most immoral
I’m glad news orgs are slowly introducing the UK to the idea of cannabis in general.
The BBC putting it on the news, in this case, not to slander cannabis and those who choose to use it and make up far reaching scaremongering stories about ‘skunk’ that was written by someone who has never even seen the plant, but to shine a light on the issues that come with legalisation (making the taxes too high) – I don’t think illegal grows will ever go away, it is a plant after all… but lowering the tax on cannabis would be a great step towards getting people into dispensaries and making the illegal grows less relevant and more personal use oriented.
Stories like these give me hope that the UK will eventually take the recreational market from the criminals and finally let cannabis users pay tax for cleaner, regulated cannabis.
That’s a great cover for drug dealers. I hope they don’t file as a nonprofit. That would be all types of felony crimes.
Do the sisters sample their wears
Because local weed is cheaper
Why are US cannabis growers losing profits? Because the California state government is involved. The state of California is notorious for sh!tt!ng and falling backwards into it.
Whi gives a shit
Americans growing weed….. What in the world
Doing it lawfully new dealers thatโs all
That’s a simple answer. Because people aren’t willing to pay more than street prices for weed.

Because mexican cartel set up shop in N. California and are setting multi million dollar shops. Leaving nothing for citizens or Americans companies. Need national guard to chase them out. Police can’t fight the cartel.
When you make something illegal it artifically inflates, problem is we’re legalisting it and still selling it at black market prices, it’s kinda f**ked up.
IT’S A PLANT! NO PLANT SHOULD COST 200 AN OUNCE! END OF.
Smoking ANYTHING is harmful to your lungs. Please do not smoke!
There’s an obvious (but politically costly, so impossible) solution to the whole narcotics trade: Turn it into a state monopoly.
Why? Because then the success of the "business" (with very light inverted commas, made of the finest down) can be measured by different metrics to the "cash-value-metric" used on the set of for-profit private businesses. You’d still want as much for-cash profit as you can make, but just raking it in could well be a failure ( a kind of "bankruptcy" in the worst "market conditions"). Making money is just a means to an end (just like the fiction we’re told about making money in simpler situations).
From a social point of view (at worst, humouring those who say drugs-are-bad, and probably preferably acknowledging that they might have a point, even if they’re wrong overall in how they go about trying to panic the problem away) the main aim of legalization would be to try to _gain_ rather than lose, control over the problem. (I mean to the extent that it’s possible at all to do so). Control the entrance gate, and you might gain some control over the problem the state, itself, definitely has nearly no control over, now.
So there you have at least two points in favour of "nationalizing the narcotics industry" (sorry; it’s so tempting to phrase it in a scary way like that).
1. It meets those who think illegality will fix the problems that go with narcotics use half-way, so it might be possible for everyone to agree to do it. (Important, given that the only thing that makes it impossible is the high political cost, and if everyone political would chip in and sustain their own share of such losses, maybe that would be enough to bring an end to the impossibility that gets in the way of these measures.)
2. This is how to gain some control. Not just leaving people to make their own mistakes and die without outside intervention is the best hope that little bit of hoped-for control offers.
I have lots of probably too-detailed thoughts on how things should be done, once the little matter of political impossibility has been dealt with. Some (in outline, if I can manage the discipline to do that) of these:
1. Instead of a an Age of Ascension into Adulthood, annointed with something like alcohol you didn’t have to pay someone down on his luck to go and procure for you, for a fee, have a "Drug Drivers Licence". (Users licence, but I like the analogy. Pilots licence would be a bad name, though.) "Do the knowledge", and demonstrate some level of understanding of what it is you’re letting yourself in for, before you leap in where angels fear to tread.
2. Have lots of those. Small Beer Licence first. Use it well for six months before graduating to more professional levels of drug abuse. (So you’ll still need a Drugs Squad to seek and destroy the people selling dope to the small-beer kids at the local primary school.
… in principle …
… primary school … That’s why I put it that way. OTOH you can see that as a terrifyingly bad idea: "Selling drugs to little children??? Are you Mad or something????" (And fair enough – assuming this doesn’t happen anyway, which it probably rarely does – what with little kids being a lot more sensible than teenagers, on average … ) (yes ugly English … feeling around in the dark … keep missing words and punctuation and stuff … ) It’s a terrible idea. Maybe. But hang onto it for a few months before saying so, that’s all. Because OTOH if drugs are something a strange and determined little kid could get their hands on, that means drugs aren’t a marker of "adult status". And the drug called alcohol could probably quite easily be identified with poor stinky old men who’ve lost everything, including all their teeth, rather than what the private "free" market advertising (all of which is aimed at making choices just that little bit Less free) portray it as being associated with. Make drinking something you can only start to do after you know a lot (and as much of that as possible in a "practical kind of way") about alcoholism as possible, and how much more resistance can you put up against the tendency of human beings to turn to drink, really? Ban it up to some important birthday that you can celebrate by getting utterly slammed? Really? That’s the right kind of resistance? I would beg anyone who hasn’t gotten bored and wandered off to some more interesting comment or topic by now to please at least just hang onto the thought of making the right to use "consent -dependent", rather than "calendar-dependent". After all, calendars have very little to do with alcohol use, itself, whereas properly-informed consent has quite a lot to do with it.
OK, I could say more, but having said too much I’d better shut up and run off now. Bye.
Bro these news are garbage, boohoo should we feel sorry for them canabis growers? How can they possibly lose their profit, you get 20k on one kg when you break it, and people like me are PAYING FINES FOR 1 GRAM POSESSION, even the state is is earning from canabis ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Because its over taxed and you have jackass cops mowing down legally grown product for publicityโฆ
Just grow your own. It’s not rocket surgery.
Because weed is only profitable when itโs highly illegal
thats bullshit. wholesale cost is going down while customer price stays the same.
This was how it was meant to be. Legalise it and seem like everything is OK but tax the hell out of it and have so many regs in place that it’s nearly impossible to make a living forcing you back into working life and ultimately the system…
and the uk want make weed a class A drug what backward country ,
Oregon is horrible to growers. We were promised better roads, schools, etc, with all the revenue and taxes that were generated. The OLCC gets rich, and only billion dollar farms can compete currently. Pretty much the opposite of the craft beer industry up here.
Letโs be honest though ainโt no one else getting away with growing cannabis illegal other than some white nuns ๐คฃ thatโs privilege right there yeesh ๐ฌ
