Good Morning Everyone. I thought I would pop in today and say hello. I actually have a little time, as I am grounded today by my wife because I am not feeling well, and she made me stay home. I think I might enjoy this actually!
Been crazy busy, as the marijuana landscape is fast changing here in Cali. I have become involved heavily in the political landscape here.
The group I have been working with scored a huge victory a couple of weeks ago in a neighboring county, Calaveras. The Calaveras Board of Supervisors allowed open registration of Commercial Cannabis grows within the county with no Cap on how many can operate. The cut off date was June 30th to register.
So far, 550 grows have received registration with another 170 applications making the cutoff date and need to be filed. The grows allowed are from 100 sq/ft to 22,000 sq/ft (half an acre). This averaged to 10,000 sq/ft each. The filing fee was $5,000 to register, so the County made 3.5 mil just off the registration. Each grow will have to pay a land use fee of $2.00 a sq/ft split into 2 payments due on Jan 1st and July 1st, starting this Jan. This will generate another 12 mil+ for the county. Most all of these grows are outdoors, either full sun or greenhouse.
Myself, being an indoor guy, and not wanting to drive or move, choose not to apply and instead stay and fight around my locality to create change.
My team and I have worked with a surrounding City to put a ballot measure on the November Ballot to allow Commercial Indoor grows and Storefront Dispensaries. I will be going for an Indoor grow along with a Dispensary storefront. They will allow a half acre (22,000 sq/ft) indoor operation, of which I am shooting for. I am confident that it will pass and I will finally become licensed by a City. If this happens, be ready for some real cool pics!
