I kind of wonder what the impact of legalization in Thailand will have to the US cannabis industry in coming years. While Northern California may have an ideal climate for growing when there's enough water for irrigation, Thailand has an entire country conducive to year-round growth. Are we looking at tons of legal imports in the future?

Hopefully. I'm down with thai strains

[@jamesboddington9565]

Suspect it will have to be legal federally in US before that can happen. Currently retail bud in a Bangkok dispensary is around $USD20-40 per gram so maybe the exporting will go the other way

The "Trim" at 50 bucks a pound, is that still consumed? Or is it something that can produce Bio-Fuels? Thanks in advance for any responses😊

[@interdimensionaldrift]

The trim will most likely be processed into crude oil then to distillate. Or if the terpene contain is high they might process into bubble hash or BHO.

[@stefonsmith7043]

^what he said, the trim that the buds come from is still pretty valuable especially indoor. And that $50 to trim is ridiculous, most cultivators pay $100-$125 to trim weed and that trim is usually never sold to a trimmer. If you’re looking to make bio fuels like diesel, that will be easier and cheaper because it’s stalk of the cannabis plant itself which is cut after every harvest and usually just thrown away, but you can use those stalks to make multiple different things such as clothing and biofuels

[@Tonyisgaming]

One thing this guy points out is the youth of the Cannabis industry. You try getting the land and licensing required to grow tobacco at any scale... And not to mention the amount of effort it's gonna take you to sell that tobacco wholesale when most brands already have their supply chain set in stone. Or maybe you can start your own tobacco brand to take over the industry? Yeah, right... Oh and tomatoes are worthless, lmfao. No one grows just tomatoes for a living. That would be a death sentence. Best bet to make a living in agriculture outside of cannabis is to grow a variety of crops that are highly inflated due to hype... i.e. "superfoods" and sell them at a farmers market.
