So basically I have a 13,000 SQFT warehouse in Florida. My lab only needs like 4000sqft we simply got it because it came with 60 tons of air handlers and 1600 amps of 3 phase power. So for like a solid year I won’t need more then even half the space.
If we built it out, would there be interest in creating basically a community usage of the space for R&D and formulation? This is not open to everyone it would be open to only people I vetted and believed were actually qualified and were experts in their field. It would all be CBD related. But my lab could supply small amounts of starting material for these projects at cost or maybe free if someone is really onto something groundbreaking. As we upgrade we will surpass all my smaller gear and that could be moved into the R&D space. The knowledge would then be shared with me to disperse to this forum or to at least spread among the guys working on this collective R&D project.
So small scale experiments. But with access and freedom to pursue things that otherwise you would not be able to safely or economically pursue.
Another option would be to basically charge a small amount of rent to come In and pursue certain research projects that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to pursue.
I’m basically just putting it out there to see what the viability of this thought is, and if that would be something y’all are interested in.
Again this is a fully legal and built out lab and it would be incite only once you’ve been vetted and cleared by me.
Thoughts? Opinions? Shit talking about how someone’s gonna blow up my lab? Let’s hear it all
how would this work from a regulatory stand point?
also double up on the security system and have a vault room for finished product if you dont already have one.
edit: also have a impassable physical barrier between your operating facility and your community driven lab, no one needs to know whats going on in your facility. most robberies in this industry seem to be inside jobs. id have concerns about bringing random people off the street, vetted or not, all it takes is one ass hole to swipe 100k in product and its game over. just my 2cents.
i love the idea though, im a lover of “hackerspaces” and “makerspaces”
Security is pretty straight forward as long as it’s a small amount of people allowed in and the doors to my actual production area is locked. On top of any finished product is always in our vault room to begin with. Even protected against our own employees
if anything you could monitize the community driven side by offering classes and workshops and what not. hell just even like a basic chemistry “show” were you do classic experiments would be kinda cool lol. lots of ways you could go with this.
There a lot of us in Florida that have to fly out to various legal places to conduct research. This is the only way i can do LEGAL research these days. I cant risk going to jail in my state for researching. I have too much to lose. I know there are a lot of us here in the EXACT same situation. Im sure @BG305 would much rather do market research here too near family and friends rather in his labs all the time in California. Then bring the tech and SOPs to california for production.
Personally id rather hone my craft here in FL with cbd and hemp. Then fly all the time to various labs giving my tech away for free in exchange for a way to research legally.
Exactly, me and @Killa12345 have discussed this and it’s a good look. Chit, I could fly from Homestead General AP, pick @Killa12345 up at Boca general AP and be landing in Orlando an hour later. We could work the day and be back home for dinner.
Ya and it would be a small group of us in Florida like the top Florida guys maybe a group of 5 or so if that allowed in. Something like that. Totally just a fun idea right now. But it’s definitely possible.
Thought is when other people in lab other than yourself/team end up not valuing what it took to build it out and your risk of starting a lab fire goes up 10,000,000%
So your saying the top Florida guys would burn his lab down? I know a savant just like you.
He is super gifted in his field, works and does conferences at many universities. Being a savant leaves him with 0 social skills though. I understand this so I do not get insulted by some of the things he says because we are friends. The problem you are on an open forum and 99% of the people you speak to are not your friends.
