Just wondered, 'cause I'm watching Weeds right now.

1. But if it were legal
would there be as much profit in selling it as now to make it worthwhile? I'd sell it if there was enough profit for my efforts.

6. I'm sure quality product would always find a market
but anyone could grow their own lesser product.

Or so I've heard.

10. I would be inclined to think so.
Imagine how crappy corporate pot would be. Seriously. Think Walmart.

2. No, but I'd probably either smoke it, or
eat it in brownies! I hear it's fantastic that way...

13. Rob Thomas said some pot brownies taste like ass...
:puke:

Not at all sure if this is true though.

21. It depends on how much you put into the recipe.
But there is no escaping that distinctive flavor.

22. I guess he's had some bad batches...
:shrug:

Can you describe the flavor? I've never tasted any...

24. It's chocolate mixed with, well, grass.
Kinda musky and earthy. Eating hash is the same.
Go a bit light with the active ingredient, and add more chocolate, and it's better. At least that's what I hear on the teevee.

3. Well, I'd buy it for sure.
But I might buy it in such large amounts that I might end up selling some of it.

Then again, if it was LEGAL, rather than just decriminalized, then companies would be growing, processing, and packaging it. So in that case, no, I probably wouldn't be, since having $250 to your name wouldn't give you much in the way of starting a business.

5. Making it legal means Corpos would get their hands on it.
I would consider growing for personal use and sale. Go the organic route, no pesticides, etc. It works for American Spirit Tobacco.

8. But can you imagine corporate pot?
The quality would totally suck!

11. Exactly.
So imagine that it's legal, and you're growing it next to your tomatoes. You could legally grow tobacco right now if you wanted to.

15. Tobacco? Really?
I never thought much about tobacco. Now I wonder what the quality of home grown tobacco would be compared to what's out there now.

Hmmmmmm.....

7. I wouldn't need to....
Kraft or Phillip Morris would buy the rights immediately, create their own varieties, and corner the market, thus robbing far too many high school kids of a source of supplemantary income.

Ah, capitalism!

Have to find a good brand of seeds and I'd grow it.

18. Cool.
I just have no idea as to what the best varieties of pot are and who grows it. I've heard that some of the stuff out there today is a lot stronger than the stuff I was smoking in the early 80's.
