Every one of my republican voting friends owns firearms and smokes weed. One of them has a hemp businesses that they’re just waiting to switch over to cannabis as soon as it’s legalized. Guess who’s the most diehard Trump lover of the bunch…

Gro-bro culture.

Every weed grower voted against legalization when California would have been the first in the nation to legalize in 2012.

    My pothead roommate was livid when that failed. Went on a big rant about it. At the end, I was like "ohh, when did you vote? I didn't see you leave all day", and he was like "well, I didn't vote... but this is fucking bullshit"

    My primary concern from the perspective of someone living in a prohibition state is that it is the last cottage industry that someone can start doing when they can’t or won’t get another job. If weed doesn’t serve that function anymore, the alternatives that are left are generally much more dangerous criminal activity, such as selling coke or prostitutes. Psychedelics don’t move fast enough to pay the bills.

    Or, you know... get a job in IT as a programmer? There's plenty of work out there in IT at the moment.

    I am not saying this isn't valid I am just wondering if they could find new employment within the cannabis industry. I have worked with some growers before and my impression is that they were their own best customers before all of this.
