Our closest Medicinal State law, both geographically and politically, is Illinois/Chicago. Can you imagine where our MMJ laws would be today if our corrupt politicians and corporations could have staved off the bankruptcy of our state a decade longer? We (the MMJ industry) don't talk about that political debauchery of our neighbor, but if we did we would feel a hell of a lot better about ourselves ;-)

okay... think what you will .. and lets just say michigan legalizes michigan will attract sales from ohio, indiana, illinois, kentucky... etc... as far as 10+ hours people drive specially to colorado to consume or buy cannabis legally .. and everyone in michigan isn't broke.. damn you acting like were in a depression here and no one can afford anything.. stop thinking in your square... theres a big world out there.

and the largest age group that would be using legal cannabis would be the 18-30 year olds who don't own houses and have major bills that can piss money away as they do with alcohol now. if economies reflected drug and alcohol sales why are there private breweries and shit opening here when people would rather buy a 6$ 6 pack as opposed to a 6$ 12 oz craft beer.. because theres people with money that spend it and will just cause an economy isn't booming doesnt mean theres not business to be made.

michigan does something like 60 million a year in medical sales.. and we don't even have aa 1/4 million patients as of 2015 now put that into legalization mode where your going to easily hit 600million plus at the worst

not in michigan there isn't... we have 3 major cities... detroit, lansing, and flint/saginaw(combined for ease of metaphor) even lansing is POOR as fuck. i just sat down with an acquaintance from lansing the other day, its just as bad there as elsewhere. COST OF LIVING is insane while wages and hours go down cause of obama care.

do you even know anyone who gets 40 a week anymore? everyone i know gets 32. they also had to take pay cuts most of the time because theres a line of 1000 people willing to do your job for less money in this state now... worked at a factory for 20 years? make 15 bucks an hour? too fucking bad we have a pool of thousands of permanent temps that will work for $10 89 days at a time so fuck job security...

a house i rented in 2013 in a pretty rough neighborhood for $575 a month is currently being rented by a fellow for $900 because... greedy renters know no one has the credit or job security to get a mortgage... so rentals are about 30% over valued at the moment.

another example is one thats in metamora for 1350 a month.. was up for rent less then 2 years ago for $900 a month..

michigan has a fear based economy because no one has opportunity to do better themselves and then they get taken advantage of. the lions share of michigan peoples are just barely getting by, def not spending billions on weed..... lol

those private breweries are small batch and only profit a small % of the over all market. thats fine if thats what you want to do. being a boutique grower of top shelf so you can save all your weed for the rappers that pop through on tour is up to you... just not a good business model

i know no one that works under 40... the works out there and depending on education and experience there really isn't these major finincial issues. we have a 5.4% unemployment rate which isn't bad.. trust me I'm not saying we all have money to blow and that everyone should have a job thats not what I'm saying at a ll but your acting like if legalization happened no one would be coming to take advantage of it if legalization.

thats the damn point!!!! owning a 1% pie slice of a 1 billion dollar a year industry is worth the investment opportunity to make 10 million a year

the pie just isn't that big tho my man. especially for boutique stuff right now. the boutique stuff is less then 10% the majority is the hype strain of the month or whatever is 200 an ounce or lower.

your going to move your life across the country and risk all your savings on a federally ILLEGAL venture for $600,000?? probably a reason your busy arguing economics online instead of counting your money...

250,000 patients would only spend 240$ annually/20$ monthly/5$ weekly to hit 60 million. At 20$ a gram, that's one joint per month :confused:

I'm pretty sure our friendly pot docs and lawyers cost patients a multiple of that number alone ...

heres a good breakdown of how those numbers actually get made.

http://www.mlive.com/lansing-news/index.ssf/2014/10/ken_braun_the_real_unemploymen.html

well not a great breakdown but atleast it shows you how complicated those numbers actually are. that 5% isn't just who's unemployed... its who's unemployed and actively able and willing which means no welfare or social security. they even have the term "disconnected youths" to help pad the numbers... its way higher then 5%
