I know people in CO that already have become millionaires over it. The ironic thing is when it becomes legal everywhere it will become another commodity and the price will collapse. So the right time to get in is b4 it is legal everywhere

Eh, to an extent. If you're a grower I agree. But there are tons of opportunities to get rich off of legal cannabis.

The wholesale price has been collapsing for a ~decade.

If weed becomes legal everywhere in the U.S. do you think companies will still drug test you for it?

Absolutely.

You might see a drop in some cases, but employers will more than likely still drug test ya for it.

I dated a girl that was in nursing school once that couldn't wait to take a job at a hospital in Colorado so she could smoke whenever she wanted.


She never graduated. I think she is a bartender at happy's now.

I disagree. I know Colorado has a law that an employer cannot fire you for legal activities off the clock. It was the agreement used in Coates vs Dish Network, that appeared before the Colorado supreme court (medical case). They ruled in favor of dish because medical marijuana is illegal federally. If it were legal federally, Coates would've won his case.


It will probably vary by state. Once they can effectively test for influence instead of only past use, they quit testing. Pilots can drink alcohol off the clock, so can truckers. Once weed is legal, it's the same legal argument.

That's not true for nurses. Over known some that didn't get tested, but most still get tested.

This guy is a master grower for the Sinaloa Cartel, growing in Colorado.

Not sure how to link Twitter here but it is chacho de la montaña –
@chacho_de

Does anyone believe it wise to allow construction workers, on skyscrapers and scaffolding for instance, to be potheads when studies have proven that they are more prone to catastrophic accidents that cost companies millions in legal fees and insurance premiums ... especially if it is determined there was no random testing policy in place?

As long as they aren't high doing the job, they'd be fine.

But the law is based upon THC levels in the bloodstream.

Mandatory blood tests taken immediately after all accidents these days.

They just sentenced a crane operator in New York for just this sort of thing.

It's a Catch 22.

I thought I read somewhere the other day where they are working on a test that relies on indicators in weed that have a much quicker absorption rate (10-12 hours) verses the 30 day THC indicator.

or perhaps I was just hoping "they" were working on that

Good point. And originally, I read the post wrong. I didn't think he meant federally. Just if all states eventually became legal under their own laws. Hey check out this picture I took today:

And to the poster about the Sinaloa's, I'll check it out and get back with you. Know this, I have employees working at this greenhouse that have very string Sinaloa ties. I'll let ya know later tonight (long day at work today).

I truly believe that legalization could save the American economy.

It's an instant multi-billion dollar industry that can turn near worthless land into income producing property for low-grade product and then there are operations like yours which will lead innovation and progress.

As long we keep states from doing what Ohio attempted to create a corporate monopoly and institute some ingredients of the 3-tier system used in alcohol and keep dispensaries as basically mom and pops, the marijuana industry will be the last bastion of the American Dream.

Keeping the greedy hand of big gov't out of the kitty would ensure tax revenues be directed to the needs of the states and local communities. We're suppossed to live in a free country but more and more it's proven that we do not.

Hope you keep educating us. Showing the country how benign the industry is will increase support in the public. I also believe that legalization will severely damage the cartels and help reduce human trafficking drastically.

THC metabolite, THC has a short half-life so they cheat.

Right back at you. Harvested today, so it was quite fitting.

Check it out. We cut down almost 400 plants, have a little over 200 for tomorrow.

Shameless bump. I recorded this footage today for you guys to get an idea. I filmed 3 of our "bays". There's 7 total in 1 zone. The video is password protected. Password is "weed".
