Starting a pot business in California: A cautionary tale | The Green Room
Starting a pot business in California: A cautionary tale | The Green Room
What’s it like to be a craft cannabis cultivator trying to grow legal weed in California? There are probably as many different answers to — and stories about — that as there are pot farms across the Golden State. And one of those stories belongs to Lex Corwin, the 28-year-old founder and Chief Executive of Stone Road Farms, a brand that’s got its headquarters in Venice just steps from the Pacific Ocean and a cluster of greenhouses 400 miles due north on a remote Nevada City hilltop.

how can you possibly justify 7 million gallons of water per crop? 7000 plants times 1000 gallons per plant (estimated by the grower)

The taxation without representation is blatant.

this guys doing everything wrong. over nutrients driving the plants too hard. over watering because the ground is too hot because hes using no mulch or stone mulch. using full synthetic probably polluting the river. hes talking about how it sucks the groundwater isnt recharging but is bulldozing all his land to fill with gravel and kill off his soil and water retention.
You cant even give Trim away in California rite now
Cool video but his garden looks terrible…. sounds like he is on top of his licensing though.
Hey, we need almond snacks! We gotta have healthy munchies. CA had been in a drought for 38 years/marketed even as "Brown is the new Green".
I like my dank, but kp the agricultural foods poppin’! LoL you lil vegans will be mad if nuts and fruit disappeared.
This cat is mature, 28? 🌞🌱

Nobody cares about your sexual preference.
Hacer una buena lumbre y quemarlas todas..
Putting together my own family care business. Tree, lawn & all.
Self Sustaining utility trucks to power the tools & such that can go at it grid powered like any other utility vehicle. Lawn & tree care taking care of much decor needs per property. Compost too.
Cannabis, Cactus & produce galore too! Edible, clay, algae, cocoa powder at 95% + & Ceyenne pepper powder..
Why isnt thewater being used talked about more, its a big deal, especially with all the over production being done. Whats going on in the California desert is soooooo bad!
Screw Cali ! Oklahoma is the way .
I kind of wonder what the impact of legalization in Thailand will have to the US cannabis industry in coming years. While Northern California may have an ideal climate for growing when there’s enough water for irrigation, Thailand has an entire country conducive to year-round growth. Are we looking at tons of legal imports in the future?
Phewweeeeeee
In the next 5yrs California isn’t gonna have any water to cannibas. The water is only gonna be used for household’s.
I would love to visit
Im lost what does gay have to do with weed. I hate people shoving agendas down my throat. Black owned weed shop nope ill pass queer owned weed shop nope ill pass. Plain old weed shop no agendas yup im buying.
I’m ready to get high!
Knows NOTHING about growing weed or the cannabis industry. You will be hated and ur product is trash
Now it’s legal- corrupt minds manage it with law s and regulation.exactly,who are the bad guys ?
👆👆👆look up that handle….We all agree that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful than smoking. One in two lifelong smokers dies from their addiction
Cannabis takes about 2 and a half acre ft per year of water. Almons are about 6 acre feet per year.
I can’t take anything this dude says seriously because he talks like a teenage girl lol. Ummmm no thanks lol
if thats what you guys call weed then you need to go learn
Nice vid. Thanks
Trash
Man that’s awsum 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 that’s what’s happening to the market these day’s Chad’s! He’s not about the plant just the money lol. I wonder if he even smokes🤔🤔🤔🤔
Greenway solutions grew and sold marijuana for 10 years illegally and bought a house for $900,000 in Salinas CA withit easy! 🤷🏿♂️ untouchable. IRS who?! 87,000 agents cant stop greenway solutions!
You grow Outdoor B grade
Basically you gotta be rich and white to start your own cannabis business. Fucc corporate cannabis this system wasn’t made for struggling minorities who’ve went to jail for selling weed who were just trying to support their families who’ve faced discrimination. Legalization is a joke. Decriminalize yes
Nothing small or boutique about 1,000-7,000 plants.
7000? Wtf
Junk ass weed
A smart businessman would be growing out of state and selling in CA.
good luck the taxes and license fees are squeezing the legit folks with unnecessary facility requirements. the big tobacco companies are moving in with umbrella companies. plus outdoor buds suck compared to indoor. this guys stuff is ok to make bubble hash that’s about it. when they start regulating the water it won’t be worth it to make a profit. plus Nevada County has stabbed hundreds of growers in the back the last 10 years. that’s why so much properties for sale.
What the hell is a queer farm ?
You people are sick and weed ain’t gonna help
Best by date 😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂
