}} The best thing to do is move there and establish your own

Fuck that shit! Don't come up here and grow weed. That's the last thing we need is more influx of greedy fucking pot growers moving in, driving up land prices, contributing to the atmosphere of secrecy and paranoia, using up more wild water in the mountains, leaving plastic bags, fertilizer bottles and irrigation supplies all over the woods, importing a bunch of dumb ass trimmers, making it less safe to hike around in the woods and then leaving with the money. The green rush is fucking this county up just like it all rushes fuck up the areas they happen in. The sooner it all falls apart the better, and it will, because people are too greedy. Do something constructive with your time for satansake... There are a lot of jobs to do out there or waiting to be created. People can barely find a decent carpenter up here. Thank goodness for the Mexican community or nothing would ever get done! They're all growing or trimming or whatever. Growing weed for a bunch of fucking couch potatoes in LA or wherever is just creating an artificial economy. What happens when it all disappears? What are all those people hooked on easy money going to do after that? especially the kids that aren't accumulating many useful skills.

huh?

Even if it was only worth 30 or 40 bucks a pound and you had to grow acres of the shit to make any money? That's what'll happen if it's legalized. The sooner the better I say. Then all those would be hemp farmers will just have to make crank or something, because they're not going to buy a farm and live it debt getting up early every morning to tend their acres of hemp. Fuck the dope industry. And don't tell me it brings money into the area. Fuck money. That reflects position reflects shitty values. I'd rather live in a poor area where people have to be creative and strive to make money in interesting ways than in this bullshit. It's like gentrification of a wierd kind. I live here and it sucks. Everyone who's not in it has complaints about the effects it has on their lives which aren't seen or are ignored by the people involved in the industry.

Legalize the crap so we can get on with real life.

Just for the record, I wasnt trying to grind him or anyone else down. I have rolled my eyes a few times on this thread. But whatever.

Thanks for your kind words

Or negativity in the guise of constructive feedback. It's ONE thread. The anal strickness of certain tribes is pathetic. I'd like to think this tribe isnt one of those kind of tribes. We all may or may not appreciate this thread but I dont see a need to go totalitarian on it. Reminds me of Bush calling other people "terrorists." Quite sad / rediculous.
