Part 13: • Freeway Ricky: Rich Ra...

Part 1: • Freeway Ricky: You Got...
--------
In this clip, Vlad started off speaking about President Biden pardoning people for low-level federal marijuana offenses, which Freeway Ricky said was a “joke.” He then explained why it didn’t help free thousands of people because there aren’t low-level offenders in federal prison, and Freeway Ricky pointed out the 35 states where it’s legal. Vlad then asked Freeway Ricky about opening his first dispensary, and he spoke about how he’s in 11 states now. He then explained how the marijuana business is up and down, and Freeway Ricky spoke about how prices have been drastically cut in recent months because the market is flooded.

He is wrong about Alabama Alabama just approved medical marijuana use only. People don't get it twisted Don't think they won't arrested someone for having a little weed if you don't have a medical card. They will still arrest you for weed They just allowed it for medical uses a couple a months ago Marijuana in Alabama is illegal for recreational use. You can be fined and sent to jail even for possessing a small amount of marijuana. Alabama is still a Republican racist state, they don't have a problem with locking up a black person for a ounce of weed Alabama governor Kate Ivey, don't care it is still people in prison for weed.

[@Keepskatin]

The key is to sell organic, none of these get rich quick, bandwagon dispensaries are organic, most of them don't even grow their own. The other key is to grow what no one else is selling, the old school strains, the original exotic strains, like Maui Waui, Chocolate Thai,. Bubblicioua Kush, African Buzz, White Widow, Master Kush. The Sativa dominiant strains. Not these lazy, couch potato zombie strains everyone is pushing these days. I use to cannabis to think and become creative, and motivated, not be a lazy spaced out trance to zombie on indica strains.

i own a farm in Washington state its set up by the state and they have ruined weed here.. we still grow great weed, but its getting harder to justify costs to produce quality. grower gets 33%, the store 33%, the state gets 33%.. it takes me 3-4 months to grow it, i have to trim, weigh it, bag it and tag it w state req labeling.. then deliver it. the store has overhead and labor but they only hang it and sell it.. the state does nothing and since legalization Craft high quality goes out the window for efficiency.

Some dispensaries will sell an ounce of shake for $30 and some of the bigger ones will sell an 1/8th of bud for $50+ like it’s high school and you have no other options. I’ll buy cartridges from pretty much anywhere but I don’t get weed from the big name dispensaries anymore. But there is good weed to be had for very reasonable prices if you don’t mind spending 30-45 minutes on Weedmaps. You gotta put the work in. You wouldn’t buy the first TV or laptop that you see.

To give you an idea about lights I've heard on some videos (Cannacribs) that do tours, 1.5kW to 3kW per square foot of lights is what they're using to get the results that everyone wants. Arizona has a water shortage due to Middle Eastern alfalfa farmers exporting alfalfa back to the region after being banned to save water. California adopted water meter regulations for ground water earlier this year and are following Hmong farmers in the Golden Triangle who buy the water legally and taxed from a metered farm but transport it back to their grey market farm.

It's not cheaper. The regulations on cannabis make it much more expensive. If you grow outdoors you can't be near people. If indoors you need industrial scale AC, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, watering systems, CO2, and so much more just to grow the plants. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars just to get a license. if you want to transport it anywhere you need to hire licenced armed transportation. But to sell it you need to get it tested for a very large number of things. You can fail one of the tests just by breathing on the bud. Oh and almost every square foot of your facility needs to be watched by cameras 24 hours a day, and saved for years. I definitely missed a bunch of stuff too, and that's why many places have people who's job is just making sure everything is compliant.
