Hey everyone
Tired of the stupid laws in my state. I'm considering a move to Ca or whatever state has the most amount of plants allowed.
Looks to me like Oakland is the best for this however, I don't know how the deal works out there.
How do the MM cards works?
I am a disabled Vet with 90 Percent diability.
So I'm thinking I could get the Max amount plants allowed?
Best city to live in and get the best price for product.
How do you sell legally?
Any other info you think I should Know please post
Thank you all for any help
Respectfully
Hemlock

Bad timing on sales.

Prices will be back to early 70's levels this winter.

The North Coast counties are best, but the Central Valley counties can be good.

Don't count on Cannabis related jobs, either.

Getting a recommendation is fairly easy, especially with your health issues.

Go to a site called "Weedtracker" to find out more about California.

Don't mention you aren't already a patient. Do a LOT of reading.

My Dad was a Marine. Guadlcanal and some other tropical paradises.

Good luck.

OHHH RAHHHH, Tell you Dad thanks for his service. If it wasn't for Marines Like Him we would be speaking German, or japaneese!

Ok Northern counties I'm guessing you Mean Humblot?? In doing some research oakland seems like the most plants and Canopy Sq footage?
Is it true San fran is the best place to sell? Or should I say get the most per pound.
It is true you guys are only getting 2800.00 per pound?

I should have stated I know nothing about Cali. So the more details the better.
Thanks Again

A friend called yesterday and said outdoor is going for as low as $1200. Most is selling for less than $2000.

We had a massive crop, here. Decent growing conditions, as well as a lot of people growing for the first time, have created an enormous glut, locally.

If you have a recommendation, you can grow a reasonable amount. If you grow several times what you can use, personally, you risk someone reporting your grow.

You may find yourself trying to explain the excess.

Figure on growing only for yourself, until you find out how things work.

If you haven't grown before, expect to grow through a learning curve regarding growing quality herb.

Humboldt is ridiculous right now. Bud has no value. Last night someone tried to trade me a gram for a cigarette.

LA is by far the best place to sell. San Fran, Sacramento, and San Jose after that. But getting rid of anything right now for a reasonable price is pretty much out of the question unless you've got good connections. Maybe down south it's possible, but anywhere north of LA would be very difficult to get rid of anything just walking in off the street.

Yeah, you can get 2800 or more for very high quality indoor. Outdoor, lol. I wouldn't even sell outdoor right now. Not worth it.

Basically you're late to the game. It'd be difficult to just jump into the Cali market right now. But hey, if you've got top shelf indoor, someone will always want it.

OK thanks for the info. Not thinking right now. I live on the other coast, so it would take me some time to get everything sorted. I would probably not moe until summer.
I have been growing for a few years and grow some really good dope. But I'm sure eeryone does out there.
Can anyone tell me about the San Diego area.

How does the caregiver deal work.
Thanks again for all the help

Out of staters usually go into shock if they are looking to move to the coastal cities.

Our daughter and hubby bought a small home in Alameda. It was half the size, and three times the value of our spacious home, 90 miles to the East.

If you move to the Central Valley, prices and cost of living are substantially lower.

There are also major differences in how people think, politically, depending on location.

The Bay Area is very Liberal, while Orange County is ultra conservative.

Dude....

If you want to move here, do it.

I have two family members and an old friend I provide for, keeping current copies of their recommendations, close by.

Every situation is different.

I once had more, but three have died of their illnesses over the last three years.

Well what I'm tryin to do is gather information that will better suit me to Make an informed decision. I'm not 25-30 anymore and jumping into something like this isn't something I take Lightly. Thank you for your help. Didn't mean to wear you out. Just tryin to get some info from folks that are there and living it. Hence the name of the thread. Thought I stated pretty clearly that I know nothing about Cali.

You didn't wear me out as much ignore what I've said.

You want insurance that you can move here, and do the nearly impossible?

I'm 60 and have been growing for a long time.

I'm not the most informed person but I might be in the top thousand, in California.

I have some friends that keep me up to speed.

Anyway,

1) You now know that the market is glutted, and likely to stay that way for the foreseeable future.

2) Different jurisdictions have different rules. These can vary WIDELY.

3) Enforcement of these rules varies greatly.

4) Cost of living varies widely.

5) If you intend to start a co-op for profit, it is no more legal than it was, 30 years ago. Taxes will always be an issue.

I suggest you visit California and make an effort to visit Oaksterdam, Los Angeles and Humboldt County. Ask a million questions.

Check out Weedtracker and read as much as you can. Everything regarding the medical community is there, except any reference to production, or growing.

Any success you have will depend on your interpersonal skills.

There are a ton of good people on Weedtracker who might be willing to show you around their area, with coaxing.

I mention Weedtracker so much because EVERY member has claimed to be a Cannabis patient, and shouldn't have serious issues with security.

No offense intended.

I'm just tryin to gather all the info I can from folks who live there, and hear how they do it and see if what they do, fits into what I do.

thanks again and Semper Fi

OK Gottcha..Not in the OC....
Whats the Caregiver deal. I can get 3 or more folks and grow for them. How do I get them?
Thanks again ya'll
Don't do that. Just form a collective. Caregiver defenses usually fail in court unless you're registered. To be a registered caregiver you need to prove you provide other non-cannabis related services to these people.

But if you live in a 215 friendly area you can grow as a collective. Kick them down some buds in exchange for them allowing you to put their recs up at your grow. Just don't go to big at any one location. Personally I'd say no more than 3 doctors rec's at any one spot, but that's not based off of any law (except in Oakland) that I know of.

Why are you going to the city?
Do you require electricity?

If you go rural don't trust any Realtor on water issues they lie.
Always ask the neighbors about water and then come back 48 hours and ask again and again...
