I’m not sure if growing is the hard part, however even here I would expect most people who have professional experience in legal agriculture to be better at it than underground pot growers. Is growing weed really that different than tomatoes or avocados?
The conditions and constraints for legal growers are very different. Even more so if we consider distribution and retail.
- ipaddr 4y agoThen you go into selling. Superior product knowledge, personal usage provides additional context to buyer. Understanding common language terms, history and they provide an authentic point of view. The distribution side is easier under legalization but experience provides additional benefits. The storage, handling and processing are separate skills that take awhile to learn. Growing avocados is very different compared to growing tomatoes and it is different than growing grapes for ice wine. Can someone who grows tomatoes become a great wine maker? They can and have a better chance compared to the average person but those skills don't translate one to one. I would prefer to hire someone who made wine before over tomato grower because there is a learning curve.
- yywwbbn 4y agoMaybe you’re right. I just assumed that people producing and selling illegal drugs dedicated most of their time in solving problems which wouldn’t exist in a legal environment. > The storage, handling and processing are separate skills that take awhile to learn. Right, I would assume the most important skill here would be doing all of this without being detected by the police. E.g. you might loss X% of you stash due to spoilage once in a while but you’d still come out ahead over someone who takes much more care over his product but get’s caught.
