it sounds good for consumer/ til they price out bm and then come in hard with laws to make all bm go to prison. Then its the one option- I dont know where to buy black market beer? Todays date is 3/12 so goose island did a flash sale for 8.99 double ipa 12 packs
I donāt think the prices are ever going back up and itās gonna be adapt or die for a lot of people.
Good luck. Wait till Florida gets licensing and really shows how to play the grey line. If any state knows how to muddy the waters itās Florida. We are only getting started. Weed will be hemp prices before you all know it.
Hope you all saved for retirement

I can grow larger volumes no problem but i should be allowed to sell it and have it taxed legally.
Federal regulations and exporting and cross state business will make it quite the new ball game.
Still many ways to go.

in my state its more the regs are my issue and metric has been since day one. How much do the metric bar code scanners cost? im sure its more worked out but at ups scanning was its own department.
the consumer pays 120 per 1/4 here. how does that benefit them? even bm is 200 on the street for an o. but soon it wont be available and they will have to buy 120 1/4 oz
Ding ding, better have a few parachutes and use my time to pay myelf a few different things.
THCa will probably be cheaper than CBD if itās a wide open field like hemp has been. No need to distill anything, just crash everything out
Weāve been waiting for regular FL licensing for 8 years lol - from what I hear itās doubtful that happens even for REC, even if Fried is elected.

In Miami, I was able to interview Holly Bell, Department of Ag, about the minor market. Their rules are really naive. They lack fundamental understanding of the plant, track and trace capabilities and compliance. Like so many states, those at the table making rules are not those who know the plant and the processes.
Case in point, according to Holly, there is no minor synthesis in Florida. All that DO is just naturally extracted from plants that donāt contain it. When I challenged her on it, she just folded her arms and said āYou canāt prove itās synthesized.ā I could if you properly used METRC.
Iām in the Emerald Triangle and itās the same with the regulators here. Thereās been an interruption in licensing and people need to be re-inspected. The word is that at any evidence of illegal activity, the inspector will leave. Because licenses have lapsed (a result of anti-cannabis lawsuits) last yearās storage, mother plants, clones and other farm items are all illegal. Even for farms who paid all their licensing fees for years.
When asked what farmers should do in this impossible position, a planning commissioner laughed and said āMake sure to drive that all over to your neighborās house before inspection.ā To which everyone balked because that shit is illegal as heck! A farmer canāt move product. Only distro can do that.
Nuts. Itās all nuts.

i thought i could retire by the time i was 40 but was no where close when i actually turned 40. Now, the goal is 50ā¦ If i could sell the business for 2x the last 2 years profit or anywhere near the last 2 years revenue. Id retire todayā¦ but i feel like im nearly retired now. I think i work a side part time job for the most part in my mid 40s. i certainly dont work a 40 hr work week and really havent since i turned 30.

I have been actively visiting retailers in Oklahoma and trying to educate them on some of the upcoming changes. Most are completely unprepared and donāt understand how Metrc will change their business.
The quality of flower in Oklahoma is terrible, I have never seen so much brown oxidized cannabis on the shelves anywhere else. It seems that most shops in smaller towns want the ācheapest smokeā possible, that could be water leaf trim so long as it smoked. These shops also keep some indoor but it all seemed like seconds and thirds to what you see in the larger population centers.
I expect the biggest changes in the smaller shops, the busy shops will change but it wonāt be as noticeable.
The biggest issue Metrc could solve is large outdoor grows that pump out biomass for a multi state operations that ālaunder distillateā into other legal and illegal markets.
Until regulators start to track the weights of all the cuts of distillate and crack down on cartel crude being sold as legal distillate the market will suffer.
Oklahoma needs to stop conversions from being sold on the medical market as soon as possible. We will have another āvape gateā on our hands if they continue to allow medical patients of Oklahoma to be lab rats in a experiment to see if chemically converted cannabinoids are dangerous. Hopefully metrc can help with this but I doubt itā¦

So how else do you suppose someone gets cbn?
A proposal on how to get cannabinoids like cbn off the market seems counter productive towards bodily autonomy.
Do other cannabinoids not have medicinal value and studies? Including synthetic ones?
Iām trying to understand this 2+ year old bathtub d8 concern and how it applies in the year 2022.
Especially with liquidation prices in this state. How anyone is concerned over something that is killing itself is beyond me.
If we really wanted to be mad at converted products we would be only consuming cbga
Natural conversions and synthesis take place. So itās really tough to take a single word and make it the enemy when itās bad actors that youāre truly concerned about. Not the cannabinoid itself, but who is producing it.
As long as medical dispensaries can also share a building with a smokeshop/headshop/hemp store.
Youāll never stop them. Theyāll literally have two cash registers. One for OMMA one for Ancillary store.
Build a brand and you wonāt be stuck with wholesale pricing.

Thatās why people end up wholesale, building the brands the hard part. Iāve had three die in sales for zero reason and have to rebrand
But if I only gotta once a year or so I guess itās fine. Think my downfall is packaging honestly
