Just to be clear, we're not talking about medical marijuana, we're talking about legalized marijuana, right? Medical marijuana requires a prescription or some other type of medical approval.
True. And all bets are off if they make it legal to grow your own.
I had a friend visit me last week. This guy was the first person I knew to grow high quality herb here in the East. He no longer smokes himself, but his wife has a rare neurological disorder that makes her muscles tighten up until she can't stand the pain. She takes a vape hit when this happens and the pain just vanishes.
Anyway, my buddy and I were talking about the good old days, and I pointed to my garden and asked him how much bud he thought he could get out of that small (30' x 50') patch of soil. "Lots... real lots. Like maybe 100 pounds or more if managed properly."
So, when citizens can legally grow their own, who will pay a retail price of $50-100 an 1/8 oz when they can grow all they want for basically nothing but the cost of a few seeds?
Best bet for the pool industry would be to get behind the paraphernalia instead of the actual product. Players are already getting sponsored by the e-cig vendors, why not weed vaporizers, oil pipes, storage containers, clothing, etc? I for one would not be offended if a guy took a discrete vape hit or two at the table next to me, as long as it was legal. And just think of the increased food and drink business for the happy room owner. Munchies + cotton mouth = Ka-ching, Ka-ching for a savvy businessman.
