14. The cottage industry is a creature of prohibition
Fri Nov 8, 2013, 05:48 PM

Cannabis and hemp will be grown industrially and the price will be so cheap it will be used as a source of fuel. Growers and others that rely on the black market need to join the mainstream and transition to other jobs.

I don't personally think the emerald triangle is particularly perfect for growing cannabis. It's only grown there because of it's remoteness and hippy history. Cannabis should ideally be grown where it belongs, in California's central valley. Industrial scale production is the future. Cottage growers will go away, master growers and specific strains is where the value will come from in the future.

It grows like a weed...
