(13,409 posts)I never said I was awesome at growing weed, are you capable of even a slight amount of comprehension? I said that I'm fairly knowledgeable and in spite of that, I still had a hell of a hard time growing. I'd say I'm pretty bad at it, actually. I bought expensive lights, expensive hydroponic systems, spent many hours putting it all together and then spent a fair bit of time every day tending to them. At the end of all that work, I yielded ~2 ounces of kind. So several hundred dollars of investment and many months of tending yielded me about $600 of product. And yet you are so ignorant as to think that weed would have to be given away to eliminate the black market? That's indescribably stupid.
The bulk of the cost associated with black market weed is not due to its illegal nature, but the fact that it takes a lot of time, effort and money to grow good weed. Something you're still utterly clueless about.
You know absolutely nothing about growing weed, you should really stop talking about it. The black market won't thrive so long as they make weed reasonably priced, and that can still be done even with large amounts of taxes.
