Canadian's like the pot
 

at least 50,000 houses in Canada used exclusively to grow marijuana:

There's one thing Canada is good for :)

:eek7

hey fuck you, we also came up with the recipe for ice cubes

We like weed.

If a market exists, it will be served

"British Columbia remains the country's marijuana-growing capital, where the annual business is estimated to be as high as $6 billion."


6 billion in BC alone, God damn.

It surprises me that that's still so high. I live here and I try to get hydro grown on the parries as often as possible. Even I'll admit it's way better than BC stuff now. Of coarse I guess the people who write that article have more speculation than they do facts.

wasn't it mark emery that threw out that 6 billion dollar figure? god that guys a fucking moron

The funny is the AD I see on that page:
http://m.doubleclick.net/viewad/7064...es_250x250.gif

There are police raids on houses all over the city I live in. Millions of dollars of pot grow here dude and its primo.

What's your fucking problem with Mark? I know him, he's a decent guy.

sorry i'll retract that.. he's not a moron, but his political goals are a little ridiculous. and do you honestly think that marijuana is even close to generating $6 billion yearly in bc alone? you can tell that whichever party member claimed that quit smoking weed and has obviously moved up to crack

I have to agree man. 6 billion from BC alone? PLEASE. Thats insane. Are they selling this weed for $4000 US per pound? gawd.

I know a guy pretty well who got involved in a grow op. They had a house rigged up nicely. 8 HUGE plants, producing about 3-4 pounds per plant.

Thats 24 pounds minimum. These guys were paid out at $800 or $900 per pound - I cant remember really. They definitely were NOT getting rich off this. Especially since they shared the profits between 4 people.. and they paid a shitload of cash out upfront for expenses..

But where does that 6 billion figure come from? Thats like 1.5 MILLION pounds of weed sold at $4000 per pound... no way.

I personally purchased 600k pounds of it myself last year.

Well at about $300 an ounce, 16 ounces in a pound, that would make it just about $4800 a pound, actually people who buy more in bulk get a price break. If your friends were selling it that cheap I assume they sold it more in bulk?

8 plants is nothing, trust me. I betcha that figure of 6 billion is not too far off. Marijuana is a HUGE industry, its a shame they don't legalize it all over to take advantage of the money people are willing to dish out for it.

Seriously!

Standard cali chronic 290 oz
Purple Cali Hindu Kush 600 oz

Different strains obviously run different figures.

:smokin

Hell Ya..We smuggle it across the border and sell it to the yanks between 5 to 6 k per pound ! Primo BC BUD.The cops cant keep up with the grow ops here.They closed 60 last week and thats just a small small percentage.They even have commercials advertising Grow Op equipment it is so lucrative. The average fine if you get busted is like between 1 and 3 k...shit you make that on 1 plant alone..Telling ya...Growing Pot is way more lucrative than porn :) although you tell no one at all...There is risk from getting your stash and ass kicked by the Angels or some other gang member.. but its ok some one knocks on my door im prepared :ak47: :BangBang: And You have at least 5 Differant Houses to grow in..or move out to the sticks and bury a 40 ft trailer with its own generator.

It's not 6 billion sold in BC, it's 6 billion grown in BC. That's higher than I would have guessed, but I don't think it's impossible. When the americans get good weed and pay $250/OZ for it, where do you think it's from? Canada



:smokin

i've experienced some awesome guerilla stuff grown up in some so cali mountains, so good they didn't even sell any of it :stoned

And most of it is sold to the USA.....so much for the war on drugs.

Simply not true.

I know for a fact, Canadian herbs never touch my lips.

Tahoe and Humboldt and some Guerilla growers.

:smokin

not only do we have free beer delivery...
we have free pot delivery too.

Thats too bad..BC bud was rated one of the best or the best in the world in Amsterdam..sorta like a olympics of pot. If ya ever get a chance try some...One day you will see and youll all be hooked muhahahaha.
:evil-laug

Are you seriously claiming your BC to outweigh Blueberry or Bubblegum? Bro, My boys grew some white widow that damn near hurt.

Total Couch Lock.

Im not debating Canadas herb, Im just saying domt think your shit is like the best hehehe

Its only a plant, it can be grown anywhere.

;)

I think Canada has awesome herbs.

I wish I had some right now.

Im just stuck with the purple skunk kush

hehehe

here's an excerpt from a story in last years Vancouver Sun that says maybe 1 out of every 35 homes is BC is a grow op.



Measuring the size of an illegal industry is difficult.

Detective Anne Drennan, spokeswoman for the OCA, said the agency's estimates are based on intelligence gathered by police, including information on the number of complaints received by police about growing operations in the community.

The agency estimates there are 15,000 to 20,000 growing operations in the Lower Mainland and a total of 20,000 to 25,000 across B.C.

If the OCA's estimates are correct, that means there is a growing operation in at least one in every 46 homes -- possibly as many as one in every 35.

Emery, for one, thinks the OCA's numbers are too high. He estimates the province's pot trade is worth about $4 billion, not $6 billion, and estimates about 60,000 people are employed full-time in the pot trade.

But that would still make it one of the province's leading industries.

See BLAME CANADA for all the drugs!

hehehe

No No No...thats where your wrong.It takes clones..and only the best clones.Some of these clones are offshoots from plants years and years old.It takes a highly skilled grower ,almost like a scientist (no shit) who knows only the perfect temperature,the right hydroponics,lights, only the right amount of chemicals to use, and constant care.Almost like they are babies,which in fact they are because if you care for them right they will give ya the big bucks.Do you remember the type of pot Skunk? It actually smelled like a skunk and 2 tokes would give ya a great buzz. But do your research with Amsterdam, BC was rated with the best pot in the world, from Africa, Tailand,Maui, Kona everywhere...and we came out on top.Dont mean to brag but our pot kicks ass.Thats why there is such a huge demand for high Quality Bud.

Do you think I dont know about growing pot?

hahahaha

I know more about Pot than I care to even share.

Ive been on Grow Message boards for years homie.

Dont try to school a brutha.

:winkwink:

bro.

I have friends that grow for a living.

Literally.

:winkwink:

This is Fletch's moment to shine.

hehehe

<font color="green">I am now One with my Canadian brothers and sisters.</font>

:smokin

*bowl*

don't get me wrong, there's good pot in the states .. humboult (sp?) county kept me sane for a while


:thumbsup

Cool..I wasnt trying to tell ya something you didnt know. I read your previous thread about its just a plant and thought you meant it was like throwing a seed in the backyard and let mother nature take its course. The dope industry is a highly sophisticated ring here in B.C. It can get ya shot,beat up or even killed. Ya step on somebodies toes and next thing ya know 5 Angels kick in your door and beat the shit outa ya.Also with the beefed up security at the border.But somehow it gets to ya :Graucho . Even border gaurds have their price heh
