Craving a Different Kind of Buzz

Mel- I'm like you... personally, I'd rather get my high from life!  You raise an interesting question, though, for agents.

Hi Mel,

I am with you on the subject, high on life even when it is challenging...I have heard that since loans are federally regulated and the feds have not approved marijuana, a property that is growing marijuana can be a problem to fund...this is what I was told.  I grew up in a country where I could have bought drugs and spirits at any age...the problems that we fear are not there...LOL  A

Hopefully, Colorado agents will weigh in on this subject. It will be interesting to see what happens to housing as a result of this change.

Mel ...I agree with your take totally! To each his or her own ...I prefer to go my way!

Have a great night!

Melinda: I have an extremely high degree of concern about the environmental effect of the cultivation of weed, It has polluted California forest lands and affected the ecosystem. Now, perhaps every opportunist will be searching for a place to grow large quantities in Oregon, and even Alaska.

Mel,

We only missed by 2% of passing it in Florida this time around and I for one agree with you.  I think the uncertainty of what the changes will bring and the discrepencies between the federal laws and the state laws leave a wide margin for issues still to be determined.  

Well I was thinking that if the grow sites are not IN a house it should be okay. I guess we will all find out together.

     American prisons are filled with people who smoked some dried leaves.  That is not right.  I am all for legalization.

     Having said that, I will pass on using it.  Smoking weed destroys ambition and leaves you feeling useless (they call it "stoned" for a reason).

It is such a rediculous notion, is the world not drugged to death as we witness what is going on.

Explore the universe, read some books, learn and grow, stick and move and groove to your favorite tunes! There's so much to do in this life!

As far as the above comment about being drugged, we're trying to hard to be something where not I think.

Mel, As we have seen from other states that legalized pot … it does impact real estate.  Those of us who are not toking the line … will continue to buzz along on a natural high. I’ll take pixie dust any day!

MMJ and RMJ has literally done wonders for our economy here in CO. Unemployment and homelessness rates are way down, folks are finding a new industry in which to grow their skills (pun intended), and real estate (especially commercial) has gone through the roof. The tax dollars earned have gone to benefit the expansion of our schools and the money just keeps flowing in. I took a weekend seminar regarding the laws and how they effect our state and was just in awe at the possibilities being provided to us from this industry. Out here you CAN grow in a home, for personal use only, but, lots of consumers need help figuring out HOW to do that without destroying their property. (ventilation, ampage, ceiling height, etc.). Whether anyone choose to partake or note, the fact is that this is the coming of a new time. There is lots to learn and now is a great time to branch out and explore the knowledge available. Those "in the know" will be considered a top resource for those "in the search". I only wish I had grabbed some commercial space before the change so that I could rent it for top dollar now! 

I'm a believer in having it legal, and think it's safer having people smoking pot than drinking.  I'm concerned about it's health risk though for the users.  I read somewhere it was worse for your lungs than cigarettes.
