HOW TO MAKE MONEY GROWING CANNABIS IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS

The era of the Green Rush in 2009 heralded a period where lots of people from California to Colorado thought it would be their time to get rich by growing cannabis and making money from it. The plan then was to turn garages into grow rooms by filling them up with light sources and marijuana plant clones, and upon harvesting, millionaires would emerge. But things did not quite turn out as planned. Many of the major cities in Northern California expanded thanks to the California Gold Rush, and lots of people made money from it, but not many of those people are making money from growing marijuana.

Marijuana, like every agricultural produce, is subject to market pricing and the price of one pound of cannabis is dictated by the demand and supply of the market. The cost of cannabis is determined by who wants it, how much is available for sale and how much people are willing to part to get it. With high demand and limited supply comes high prices. The demand for marijuana is constant, but the price usually goes up as a result of prohibition and banning. Marijuana is also quite risky and difficult to produce and depending on the region, judicial system, and religion, growing marijuana could lead to imprisonment. This has made a lot of people who would have loved to grow marijuana scared of growing the plant, and this risk has led to a sort of scarcity in the market; thus, driving the price high.

Over the years, the law has accommodated cannabis and has somewhat reduced the risk of growing the plant as it gradually becomes legal across states. More people have chosen to grow marijuana which has caused a surge in supply thereby making the market oversaturated and a reduction in price. Some parts of California have so much marijuana in circulation that you cannot even make a single sale except it is of the most excellent quality. A saturated market benefits the consumer/buyer or patient that needs marijuana medication. When there are more growers, there will be options for consumers.

The downside of growing marijuana is that there is no government subsidy like other crops/ if a cannabis yield is poor, the grower bears the entire loss without any bailout, unlike crop farmers that get paid regardless of what they produce. If a marijuana grower should suffer an infestation of pest, he or she can go out of business.
