Small-Scale California Cannabis Growers Say They're Barely Hanging On
Small-Scale California Cannabis Growers Say They're Barely Hanging On
Small marijuana growers in California say state and local regulations are tilted against them. John Ramos reports from Santa Rosa. (12-12-21)
Marijuana is as abundant as dandelion flowers… this is so obvious and I’m glad, better prices for consumers.
It’s not reefer madness. It’s corporate greed.
Yep, as soon as there was money involved, taxes kicked in. Greed. Make it pay. Very sad to hear. Sorry I didn’t stumble on this sooner.
Grow your own at home. It’s not rocket-science lol.
$300 a pound? I highly doubt my dealers making that type of margins
Lower the cost of your marijuana and you will survive use common sense in this world today which are a lot of people are lacking cheaper prices mean more people means more business means more money for your company mind blown I know I wish it was legal here in Tennessee that way I wouldn’t have to drive to Illinois stuff this government is not United
The "legalization" was just for government control.
As for small scale growers looking to fight back against the large scale, grow better cannabis. Stop growing what barely counts as mids and trying to get top shelf prices. It all take between 12 and 20ish weeks to grow whether mids or top shelf.
bruh the news anchor looks like he smoked some, dudes eyes are red af lol
All new black market.
We all knew this would happen . The government will never allow something to happen util they can profit off of it first .
While in Oregon they want to bring in the national guard cause so many growers
petition the state through referendum to repeal the current system and replace it with a more friendly system
Support your local home growers!👍
This a lie and only effect new trash growers. Just because it’s legal. Don’t expect to jump in growing top shelf herb. If you grow the best people will find you for your product. This coming from a grower.
Capitalism is a cancer
Put me on that 300 a pound shit 👀👀👀👀👀👀
Yeah that’s very unfortunate for all the Legacy Growers.They put in over 20years into growing cannabis should be valued because its a craft .
There is a H in herbs
Designed to screw u wat a slap n y’all’s faces ay…
Sell it on the streets for lower price then shop.. without taxes.. like it should be , jokersmokers
You can thank the decades long, war on drugs for the stigma behind marijuana. The federal government has managed to scare & screw plenty of good people, while ALWAYS bowing to the large million dollar corporate interests.
All that taxing yet the parks, streets and public environment still look the same if not worst.
I’ve worked in the industry for 16 years I’m happy to say I’m still here but all the states of let tax a product ment for the dying and epileptic. I don’t understand how $400 an oz is justified. Much less half that. I can’t ask dying people for money but that’s also why I’m not rich.
What a bunch of dum dums
You’re missing the point- most crops are around 300$-acre profit. no expenses besides sun and soil… regulations
Reminds me of the bootleg alcohol days
Government was formed to be a benefit for the people. You should let them know.
Hahahahhhhhhhahaha !!!!!!! You thought you were going to make money hand over fist. Don’t blame the Large Corporate Farms. They are following the State Law. One License to one acre of Dope. Do the math on all of the taxes collected to include fees. California still making bank. Can’t help if there’s overproduction of dope. And you also found out farming has risks. Be glad the Stockbrokers and Commodity Market people aren’t so involved like soybean, corn and beef markets. Welcome to Farming !!!!!!
"Legalization" was meant to profit big business and the state government… period!
If they grew a pair 🥜 and sold it on the street for great prices they could get it off
Better get a Rabbi ✡️ to play with those production numbers 💰
this is what happens when Uncle Sam Lets the slaves do somthing but still has his hand so far up there ass they cant make a penny .
Did we all forget what the boston Tea party was all about ???????
they need to stop growing mids lmao
so is the rest of the country… fbj..
It’s actually quite simple concepts here. Let’s just compare this to post prohibition. Had they organized it this way then a six pack of beer would cost the modern equivalent of $75. That would have resulted in nearly no tax money just black market sales, and they weren’t that stupid. Fast forward to this situation don’t you see how completely ignorant the people of America are today? Look how wildly successful the retail stores are. My prediction it won’t last people will get sick and tired of paying 50 times more than they should for something as harmless as marijuana harmless compared to alcohol. But don’t you see as long as people are stupid enough to pay that price and as long as the poor growers like this lady claiming she should get 1,600 per pound or stupid enough to think they should charge that much you see until all of these people start to think rationally nothing’s going to change but I’m sure it makes no difference what they think it’s what future generations will.
We need a union let’s unite !!
Get out of California?
Well the risk is high
Democrats will tax you or your business to death out there in that communists ruin city ..wake up ..!!
No one is afraid, its just Democrats filling their pockets!!!!
The KPIX anchorman looks stoned.
An thats why tons of people are leaving California just one more shady regulation
If it’s good, the people will pay. Welcome to capitalism bitch.
Fock Government
@0:45 Damn she was clearly a victim of Domestic Violence 😿
The news broadcaster looks stoned.
They ain’t no real Hustlers
They are full of it. They are sending thousands of pounds a month just to Florida.
Mega farms are killing this industry. In Oregon, we heard that the taxes on cannabis would help roads and schools etc.. Now in 2022 they are the worst they have ever been. I really wish there was more unity of farmers on the West Coast. We need a strong presence to be heard at the state levels, as well as the Federal level in the future.
weed is starting to suck….i quit
Boof growers. Good riddance
