4:20… LoL.
If anyone knows the answer to my following questions I would love to hear them.
First, do cannabis growers/retailers/distributors have to pay federal taxes?
Second, if they are required to do so, are there any cannabis legalization efforts underway to legitimize them using this pathway?
Marijuana economics should be just like Zinnia economics
Thing about weed is that its differentiation components are really only THC & price. Alcohol has smell, taste, potency & price plus consumption can last an hour or more. Most pot smokers are ok after 1-2 bong rips which takes only a couple of minutes. The high lasts an hour or more, but the smell and taste portions are over in a blink. This makes it difficult to brand weed based on smell & taste, which is how craft cannabis is supposed to compete once the big booze & tobacco companies get into the game.
Bro outdoor bud just isn’t good. You can say whatever you want. Indoor weed is always better. Plants grown hydro have been the most potent I’ve ever seen.
Willow creek ca
5.3 billion dollars and the farmers are hurting
weather pest theives law then you count yours n,c law changing not fast enough
It’s part of the business if u cant keep up find another buisness
Coincidentally, this video is 4:20 long.
Four minute and 20 seconds video, ay? I see what ya did there. 😉
I hope most of all small farmers make it threw this man
I hope they all get wiped out by the weather. Shame on all of you trying to normalize drug use!!!! Im sick of hearing all the whining stoners do. Grow up. Get a real job
If marijuana was approved federally our politicians could steal it and use it for anything other than helping we the people
Kush, it’s an interesting word. 🤔
Small growers specialize and find you niche.
I only buy from small farmer cultivated brands.
Since it’s been legal I haven’t noticed the price go down at all.
No. Don’t say. We need weed 😮
Who cares about the people in California! They knew this was coming and they’re stupid to have stayed and tried to grow through it
GOOD PEOPLE WHO SMOKE WEED SMELL LIKE A NASTY PIG FARM
😂😂😂😂😂😂Part of the game . You take these chances when it’s not legal in the federal eye.😢😢😢😢
Im confused,, can the cali farmers sell black market?
Shortages? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAVsD6ZR_24
This is the day the government acts like they care and they look into stuff eat donuts ignore it for another year. Make legal already so these farms can get insurance.
Government oversight and involvement guarantees failure
The world cannot sustain all the handouts people expect! People have to realize the free ride is over
People in comments smoke outdoor 😅
there’s no fkn money in it intil it’s federally legalized
MSNBC CREEPS!!!
