Gold Rush in Cali

So I want to run an idea by my peers to get an opinion from people that probably know way more than me or the people i know so here goes...

If I were to get a large personal loan and move out to cali. Buy several vacant properties out in the rural areas of cali and build humungous garages for the grower to live in. Grow an elite kush strain that i was the only one to have the clones for, pay people annual salaries to grow the pot and be there 24/7 and come up with some sort of quota and whatever else they grow they keep for themselves... Sell weed to every dispensiary in cali and run all the employees below me to do most of the work and run a major marijuana corporation for medical patients...

Sip your drinks and advize. Please don't bash on me...

 

Lemme know how that works out
i almost mentioned doing something similar to my father today.

 

I'm actually considering asking my parents. They don't like me smoking but I know that if i'm passionate about something like that they will be willing to help me.

Think about it... Signature strains... TRADEMARKED!

 

juggled the idea around before..

W.C. Fields has a saying cant remember what it is right now.. "help"..

 

Are people/businesses allowed to be making profit is the big question... If caregivers are accepting donations instead of PAYment, it might make things a little sketchy. Idk but i think it would have to be made completely legal before the government would cooperate with this kind of "Business"

According to California Health&Safety Code Section 11366.5 :
"nor shall anything in this section authorize any individual or group to cultivate or distribute marijuana for profit."


This is where the whole theory of "donations" confuses me because everybody that works for clinics have to be making SOME profit... Whether it be free cannabis or currency.


:EDIT:
- Hey Orison (I supposed thats short for Oxyrisin) Do you know when or if Opieforum is gonna be back.

But shit, on a personal note, If I was selling the weed for non-profit, you better believe There would be some, well, "Leakage" Ahmm...

 

sounds awesome man, it's just that the cannabis corporation part scares me...do it for the smokers, the people...ya know

go for it, might want to wait and see what happens with Prop 19 though

edit: it seems you plan to be chill, definitely do it man

 

Yeah but the whole "Non-profit" thing really fucks the whole plan. If Prop 215 Passes, Cannabis products will be available for both recreation and profit. Seems like that really puts the brakes on moving forward at all. Do you know when that prop will be ?PASSED?

 

I'm actually considering doing this but on a smaller scale than you've mentioned. Even with cheap California real estate, property, equipment, etc. is expensive. When do you plan on putting this plan into action? If your plan is more than just wishful thinking, send me a message!

 

This is a serious idea. I'm GOING to put it to action but the whole MMJ thing is non-profit. But if anybody is wanting to get on board we can make it happen. I'm just waiting on prop 215 to pass. And this isn't a small scale idea.

 

Will you hire me? :tongue:

 

hell yeah!

 

sounds like thats going to be like a half million dollar loan... no exaggeration. buying multiple properties in cali, paying taxes, supporting multiple people, paying for a large construction project, getting permits for large construction projects. half a million is a conservative estimate.

if you can seriously score 500,000 there are much more legal, and lucrative investments you could enter into. the logistics involved in your idea are crazy, you have an idea not a plan. im not bashing you at all, just trying to get you to realize how big of a project this actually is how are you going to convince multiple growers to put themselves at risk? give up their lives to be there 24/7. better be willing to pay them like 60 grand a year at least, say you got 3 people thats almost 200,000 bucks right there. add on the whole property and construction part, and bills for electricity etc 500,000 loan is probably way to low. your going to need like a million bucks

and thats assuming you are going to not have any problems with production, actually produce enough to make money. how do you know that you can move all your product? every single disp. in cali is just going to immediately start buying from you? not to offend, but i doubt you have some super chronic dope hydro shizz that is better than anything they have in cali. this isn't breaking bad and your not walter white with blue sky meth

if you really want to grow and sell in cali, get a big loan, move to cali take growing classes, get your license and get good as a grower, then do a small scale grow by yourself and sell that way. that would actually work. your idea, probably not

 

well, if you actually got this idea off the ground, i'd be willing to help i suppose?

initially, i was going to say you can't trademark a plant, but then i remembered monsanto and all those signature genes...

if you really did this, it would be pretty nice.

 

I don't think it would cost each grower 60k a year. It would be a 24/7 job but it wouldn't be that difficult to grow AND have another job... So it really wouldn't cost THAT much. Just equiptment and nutes really. I could give them a place to live and weed to smoke and 25k a year for personal spending. Doesn't sound too outrageous to me....

 

lol 25k a year to grow on that big of a scale........no thanks.

 

I know Union workers who do barely any work for over 100$ an hour, and this is in a shitty city where life expenses are cheap, I can't imagine someone wanting to grow weed for you full-time for 25k just to have to work somewhere else to be able to make some actual money to live with.

Also if you're going to provide them all a place to stay you can add a shitload extra onto your already ridiculous start-up costs

People make way more than 25k a year growing on a much smaller scale.

Subtract food, insurance costs, car loan, entertainment expenses, clothes, and whatever else normal people buy from that 25k and they're broke/owe money

Not to be mean, just pointing out some obvious flaws in how much you would pay your supposed employees

 

exactly.........tried to rep ya but i guess i have to spread it around first

 

I make 100k a year as a professional escort and pornographic stand in..

 

haha there we go......that's more like it! hey orison

 

Well, like i said. They could grow their own personal weed and could even work another job. I mean hell, growing weed is a night and day job but not neccesarily 24/7 ... You could easily work another job and just grow a certain amount. Thats where the quota comes into play. I know I don't have all the details worked out but that would come with planning. I'm simply in the idea stage and looking for other peoples perspective....
