California has too much pot, and growers won't be able to export the surplus

[yuiyoshida]

A leader of California’s marijuana industry warned Wednesday that the state’s cannabis growers produce eight times the pot that is consumed in the state so some will face “painful” pressure to reduce crops under new state regulations that will ban exports after Jan. 1.

Some marijuana growers will stay in the black market and continue to illegally send cannabis to other states, which is also not allowed under federal law, said Hezekiah Allen, executive director of the California Growers’ Assn.

“We are producing too much,” Allen said, adding state-licensed growers “are going to have to scale back. We are on a painful downsizing curve.”

He said some marijuana growers may stop, while others just won't apply for state permits.

I would be very happy to help.

[yuiyoshida]

10. you, Juju and I

[Kath2]

16. Yes!

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. Party in Cali!

Bring your lighter!

[yuiyoshida]

15. don't need a lighter when you can vape it...

which is far, far better...

[Cracklin Charlie]

18. Bring all the vapes!

California...as far away from D.C. As possible? Lots of extry weed?

Sounds good right now.

[yuiyoshida]

19. All vapes belong to us!

3. Well we'll just have to get more tokers

Put some ads on TV.

Hell they did it with wine.

Use to be only sophisticates drank wine.
Working class dogs drank Mad Dog 20/20 or Boones Farms

Now everyone goes on wine tasting tours.

We have so many grapes in CA we could probably cover Los Angeles with raisins.

4. They haven't even passed out licences yet to sell

Recreational weed, so lets do it...get those licences sold, and open up weed stores across the state!

[Kath2]

5. Right on!

Recreational weed, so lets do it!

6. Is recreational weed legal, or is medical marijuana the only purchase option?

That would certainly affect sales; supply and demand.

[yuiyoshida]

11. Recreational weed is legal however the state has been slow

to pass out licences, so right now all you can get is medical marijuana, but hell, you could sneeze and get a card, that's how easy it is, unlike NY state, which makes you on your death bed before you can even toke.

7. Can they ship it here to NV to help bring prices back down??

Since recreational began a few weeks ago, the prices have skyrocketed here. Luckily, I pay less b/c I have a medical card, but it has still been a significant increase...I don't see why two neighboring states should be barred from trading a perfectly legal commodity.

[yuiyoshida]

12. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Its illegal to ship between states, and JEFF SESSIONS'S GOONS would be there ready to start a whole new FOR PROFIT PRISON IN MEXICO.

[onecaliberal]

8. It's been almost 9 months since it was passed and they still haven't event sold one license.

I have no idea what the hell is going on.

[yuiyoshida]

13. I do...THEY wanta fuck with it...

YOU can't sell the product unless they can fuck with it and make it addictive, if R.J. Reynolds had its way, they would infuse it with nicotine to make it addictive.

[msongs]

9. make it really legal, lower the price, and puff....all gone nt

[yuiyoshida]

14. The cool thing about pot is, that like fine wine

it grows better with age, so you know they want to do that, first before they sell some recreationally.

[Kath2]

17. Yes it does.

My friend had some weed she had forgotten about for like 3 years. It tasted so good and made for some really mellow smoking.
