Rational behind people getting upset - profit Growers?

Just out of curiosity, I've been reading post about people who grow for profit. In each and every one of these post, someone comes in very upset and hostile while voicing their opposition to selling weed. Other than the fact that the seller has put their self at risk (which doesn't affect anyone else on the forum), I do not understand why or the logic behind people getting so upset over it... Can someone please explain this to me?

anyone who has EVER paid for a bag of weed that voices a negative opinion about cash croppers is nothing but a hippocrite (sp?) and needs to stfu, period end of story. unless you have never purchased a sack, and only grown your own weed, never selling a gram of it, you are no longer entitled to talk shit about people who have chosen to make this a living, or a suppliment to their income.

In this economy, there are many people who depend on this as a way of life.

People need to get over it.

I completely agree with you. I think most (not all) are a bunch of hypocrites. I just do not understand how they see no problem with department stores, farmer markets, and grocery chains selling fragrances, herbs, and produce all grown for profit, but are so upset with sellers... I think that because some states have laxed marijuana laws and are handling out medical mj cards it has cause some other to become holier than thou..

Ive not seen people getting upset about this. As long as they don't think they're a hotshot and starts online boasting, who cares? Not 'I'.

oh, i see it all the time moebius, and it too bugs me as well.. very much so..

i think a lot of them are med users who think that since they slapped a med name on it, that they should get it for free, as if their percocets don't cost a pretty penny if you don't have insurance.. :wall:

i obviously don't see a problem making money on an investment, which i obviously would consider a grow an investment since you put your time and money an energy into it..

just my $.02..

One of the insults thats usually hurled is that cash croppers dont have love for the plant, and that the end product will suffer because of it. I think thats some kung fu buddhist bullshit. The plant wants a stable environment + nutrients + lights,beyond that it doesnt care who is growing it or for what purpose. One could easily argue that experienced growers whose livelihood depends on it are more likely to work on creating the best bud possible. As opposed to someone who just really loves weed and the marijuana culture/movement.

getting pissed? they are getting pissed because the grower isnt selling cheap. the grower isnt giving them free weed. people think that when you grow you should give this away, that this stuff should be free because they really still think this stuff is easy to grow BULLSHIT. if you have ever grown even for a year. you'll know why prices are the way they are. fuck those who think thye should be fed free weed because someone thye know grows it.

Agreed.. Bills need to be paid. Money, work, time, and risk is invested into producing a produce that is then sold to a mentally competent member of society that gets some type of enjoyment or relief from the said product. No one is killed by an intoxicated driver or dies of an overdose, etc... no one is harmed. The only people that should be upset is the greedy government and drug complaisance who are all for criminalizing anything that they cant tax and/or make a profit on...

Well I guess I am somewhere in the middle on this issue. I don't mind folks making a buck off of weed, medical or recreational. What does bother me some is those who blatantly grow big under the medical excuse. They make MMJ look bad in the publics eye. By growing big I mean 100's of plants in a rental home, growing on public land etc. I have no issue with getting all docs and licenses in order and do a warehouse or something, no problem.

As far as price goes, let the market dictate it.

Really though, why are you so worried about what someone else is doing? MMJ already looks bad in the eyes of the people that would have a problem with a large scale grower. They are growing all natural plants. I don't care what those people think. They are brain washed idiots who think MMJ is of the devil, but other addictive and more dangerous chemicals based "legal" drugs that kill hundreds of people daily like cigarettes and alcohol are perfectly okay...

Those who complain about the lifestyles of others (that aren't negatively impacting anyone) need to get the stick out of their ass and look around. Everyone does what it takes to survive and stay happy and there's no shame in that.

Yes! This is exactly it. My husband and I had a family member sit us down and try to reprimand us for "having the audacity to charge them for weed." This was after we already sell to them cheaper than anyone else. Only after telling them that they probably needed to start growing or purchasing elsewhere did they apologize and STFU.

Seems to me that those who b*@%! about selling your product are the same people who are not used to having to pay their own way elsewhere in life. Just my $.02

Maybe I should have been more clear? When a grower ruins a rental home by growing huge numbers causing mold and electrical issues etc. that makes any grower look bad. Same thing with public land, booby traps, weapons, litter etc. makes growers look bad. Also most huge medical grows are done in the grey area of the law or flat out illegally. Again makes us look bad.

Like I said I care less about the profit. Shit I am all for as much profit as possible. Just don't be a idiot and ruin shit for others.

medical marijuana is a joke already. cash croppers arent doing anything to further that in fact they were here first. Its the fake doctors giving scripts to every shitheel with a tooth ache. I personally have never been pro-medical. I want to smoke it because i like getting high. It should just be legal. period. This whole creepy dispensary thing were everyone is a "patient" is totally retarded. I think the sniveling whiners about cash croppers are the same people that think there should be no patents or copyrights, and everyone deserves 3 hots and a cot plus medical.
weed is not an artificially priced commodity. Its not boosted up by government handouts. or even the chicago exchange like grapefruit and pork bellys. If I could sell it cheaper I would so I could sell more faster. Some of us actually run the numbers. You cant sell it much cheaper and accounting for the MASSIVE risk break even.
