Well I wonder how much 3 million dollars is worth these days. I'm sure it is quite a bit more weight than it was during prohibition.

Well the government says that you can only grow so much so they must be right.

And all of this is to maintain the volume of cannabis and the price of these flowers. Yep can't have people losing their cut.

Shame how the focus on cannabis went from medical to this. Profits and industry.

And of course orders to destroy a bunch of marketable product.

That really is a shame for these Farmers that for their blood sweat and tears into this but we will see what the facts of the case come out to be because trying to grow more than you're allotted size is definitely not a good plan when you're paying for the right to grow a plant.

Personally I think that cannabis should be taxed and regulated just like lettuce there are no taxes on the lettuce well actually that might be a scary thing to contemplate because of all of the issues with health department codes.

Well I'm really hoping that some change can come into the world here soon.

So dumb!

The government never does anything that is good for the citizens. Pointless rules and regulations for no good reason. They might as well have burned money and medicine.

!PIZZA

Absolutely and the fact that these grievances continue to go unchallenged against the American people just shows how much change really needs to be instituted.

Personally cannabis should only be around 4 to 6 dollars per pound.... LoL yep.

Yeah, it’s insane what it costs if you think about it. I heard someone compare it to saffron once, which is the little stem inside a flower that only grows during an extremely short window. It’s somewhat comparable in price to cannabis, though.

With the amount of industrial scale farming we are able to produce tons of cannabis at very reasonable rates. If you're talking an entire field you are definitely able to drop price down and with the amount of growers currently producing the price glut has really changed the face of the cannabis industry.

However yes the price is artificially high just to retain the amount of taxes.

That's all this is really about price fixing and taxation.

Why didn't they ship it to a state that was legal and sell it and tax it?

DUMB DUMB DUMB government!

Well because why would you do a smart business decision when you can just abuse your farmers and citizens? Why shouldn't you be able to take their hard work away from them?
