I was thinking what if they legalized it for recreational use in the country.. they'd give us crappy weed. Like the shit with Low THC levels because they probably wouldnt wanna tax and sell the most potent weed but who knows what do u think

If marijuana was legalized right now. People would just buy seeds online and grow their own. So the good weed would actually become really the only weed because more good weed would be grown.

Though of course it all depends on how it is legalized. They could legalize recreational use, but not have it legal to grow without special permits. But I think that crappy weed would be less common. Because there would probably be dispensaries all over the place with the good stuff.

Just my though.

And I also think that they would really want to sell good weed because that would be in demand. And then they could tax the hell out of it.

I dont believe that at all. If they were going to legalize it, they would have all types of weed, from the kinda bad to the amazing. If it were ever legalizes, im sure alot of people would just start growing because it would be much cheaper.

the fact is, growing high quality marijuana is not a simple easy thing to do. I mean truly good quality stuff.

In general, people would not grow most of what they smoke. tossing some seeds in some pots in your back yard will not result in a harvest of purple kush 3 months later. lighting, light cycle, nutrient levels, cloning, drying harvest, you have to manage it on a daily basis, etc etc

As well, if it was taxed, there would be special tax rates on seed sales. this currently applies to tobacco as well I believe. im tired of hearing people say there is no chance of regulation because "every pothead would grow his own"

not only that, but i absolutely guarantee it would be significantly cheaper for companies to produce bud on a grand scale versus a dude with a light hanging in his closet.

if ganja was legal, most likely i would do some small easy natural light soil grows for fun and leave the regular vaping for the super dank from the pot shop. as it stands, i am more than willing to dedicate a huge portion of my free time towards a guerrilla grow

I definitely understand where you are coming from. You can make your on beer, or grow your own tobacco (i think you can grow tobacco), but most people dont do it. I guess its more of a convince factor that people would be paying for. If it was legalizes, i would guess that they would keep the prices close to what they were on the street, just because they know people would pay for it and it would maximize profit. Its not all about production costs, but what people are willing to pay for it. What you said about growing doesnt seem all that difficult. It seems like alot of work, but if you had a guide to follow and the time to do it, you could make a great harvest after a few trials.

When alcohol was re-legalized, bathtub gin basically disappeared.

Right, that is because no one wanted to buy it anymore, because if it was made wrong it could cause blindness or death. You cant die from smoking extremely low quality marijuana.

Who is "they"? The companies that produce legal recreational drugs make them in all kinds of colors, flavors, and potencies. Why would they do anything different with legal marijuana?

A lot of people make the strange assumption that legal marijuana would be produced and distributed by the government. How many other plants, drugs, or recreational substances does the government produce and distribute?

If weed became legal, then marijuana producers would compete for business. Therefore, prices would go down and quality would go up. It would definitely become a buyer's market

America is a free market economy- Who would be doing all of the "Giving" and since in our system you have to balance the "Giving" with a gift as well, usually of something that carries monetary value.

If a company offered bad weed for sale- don't buy it!

Do you remember Pabst brewery? Does it still exist?

I know "They" are trying hard to instill in us the idea that we are to eat whatever pablum is fed us, and I see this paradigm is gaining ground- but I really doubt they can, as yet, tell you how to spend your money or define for you what constitutes "Good weed" to you, the consumer, once it is legal.

That would be like forbidding you to choose between corn flakes and Toasty O's....
