You can make a lot of money ! Wherever police agencies are just have them ship their confiscated weed to you for a share of the profits ! Hell, it's better than burnin' it. Everybody w1ns ! Let the small weed shops sell the connoisseur buds. All that bud coming over the border could fill a warehouse ! jjjjj |

User ID: 51152071 United States 01/09/2014 12:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A few days into the experiment, the new world of legal-recreational-marijuana sales in Colorado appears to be a big success — so much so that pot shops are finding it impossible to keep up with demand. Quoting: Slick Vick According to the Denver Post, at least 37 stores in Colorado were licensed to sell recreational pot to anyone 21 or over as of New Year’s Day. The Associated Press and others reported long lines outside Denver pot shops, with some eager customers forced to wait three to five hours before getting a chance to go inside, step up to the counter and make a purchase. Prices have been steep — in some cases, stores were charging $50 or even $70 for one-eighth of an ounce of pot that cost medical marijuana users just $25 the day before — and taxes add on an extra 20% or so. Even so, sales have been brisk. The two operational pot shops in Pueblo collectively sold $87,000 of marijuana on Jan. 1, per the Pueblo Chieftain, and store owners say if demand persists anywhere near the current high, they’ll be sold out in the very near future.

User ID: 23154143 United States 01/09/2014 02:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The feds are letting the idea sink in real deep before they roll in with armored vehicles to destroy all of the businesses. Who will want to rebuild after everything they've worked for is destroyed with the VERY real threat of having it immediately destroyed again if they successfully rebuild? This is a disaster waiting to happen and nothing will change until Holder is brought to justice and Obama is impeached. Funny how a DEMOCRAT president is using more resources than any president in history to prosecute marijuana which has always had a friend in liberals. "Brawndo! It's got electrolytes!" |

I'm sure after the novelty wears off sales will drop off significantly.I live in canada and pay $200 an ounce.The only way to get rid of the criminal element is to sell it less than they sell it for,otherwise they still have a market and are laughing all the way to the bank unfettered because the police won't waste their time going after them. They used to catch someone with simple possession and then try to follow the chain upwards to catch the bigger fish.With the bottom of the chain gone there is no way to find the top suppliers.Sooner or later the prices have to fall because people will go back to the cheaper prices. The cartels are laughing because they still have a market. |

Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living. ~ Life is about choices, you get to make them each and every day of your life. ~ Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.~ Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poloi' in Greek meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.~ “When a government is dependent for money upon the bankers, they and not the government leaders control the nation. This is because the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Financiers are without patriotism and without decency.” If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Winston Churchill |

The law allows individuals 21 and over to legally grow up to 6 plants at home in an 'enclosed, locked space'. If people don't like the retail prices they can grow their own. Also, medical card holders are paying anywhere from $25-$45 for an 1/8th. So the options are: - grow your own - obtain a medical card and pay reduced prices - pay the retail prices |
