The Crumbling Business of Marijuana

There are few business sectors that have collapsed as dramatically as cannabis. Once projected to generate billions in new business, radical social reform, job creation, and rapid growth, the industry has devolved into a commoditized race to the bottom. But these days, with competition everywhere, profits have collapsed and no one has been able to figure out how to compete at scale on anything besides price. From one angle, this was just a case of too much supply for too little demand. From another angle, commoditization was always inevitable. But market correction shouldn’t mean collapse. What’s left today is just business – regulated, fragmented, ruthless, and perfectly competitive where only the smartest survive.

Every industry has its gold rush. For cannabis, the “Green Rush” started in 2012 when Colorado and Washington became the first U.S. states to legalize recreational marijuana. As more states and countries joined in after 2012, every link in the value chain—from farming to retail—was up for grabs. Startups burned through millions in venture capital, building fast and talking big. When Canada legalized marijuana in 2018, it gave these same companies the means to pump-and-dump weed stocks. But just because the corporations are losing money, doesn’t mean everyone else is.

While they’re hemorrhaging cash, local, self-funded dispensaries are quietly surviving. For them, profit isn’t a future goal—it’s a mandate. California is the world’s largest and most competitive cannabis market. In 2023, $5.1 billion of legal cannabis was sold in the Golden State, with another $8 billion moving through the black market. Los Angeles County alone reigns as the highest-grossing market, with 5 to 10 times as many sales as any other county in the state.

In this Modern MBA Original, we go from the macro-to-micro to analyze the economics of legal cannabis from the global corporations all the way to three independents in the world’s most competitive market.

Auto Candy (VGrow) | Week 5 | Divine Seeds (Autoflower)

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Seeds. No Comments on Auto Candy (VGrow) | Week 5 | Divine Seeds (Autoflower)

Thank you @VIVOSUN for this awesome collaboration, hoping this round goes smooth, giving Divine Seeds a chance for their “2025 Global Autoflowering Competition vol.2”

#VGrow is a smart all-in-one growbox that was super easy to build, it’s only 45x45x122 cm and fits perfectly under the ladder for my loft bed.
It already has lights (100W Samsung LED), air circulation, exhaust fan/filter, water tank for automatic feeding, a smart digital pannel showing the conditions inside and outside as well as an app that connects and controls everything according to your set schedule.

The box contains everything you might need for the grow such as the fabric pot I am using and Coco, I chose to use the soil I am already using and testing out the irrigation pump for feeding/watering.

The Vivosun GrowCam also will make a huge help if you want to watch your plants from far away and make adjustments, and it’s also very easy to create timelapse on the fly and see your babies grow!

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Grow. No Comments on Grow Journal | (Ep 14) – Wampa & Kongzilla 4×4 Setup – Flip Prep & Naming the Tribe!

Hello and welcome to my channel or welcome back! Here on episode 14 of the grow series, we officially move Wampa and Kongzilla into their final home — the 4×4 tent. I walk through the full setup!

I introduce three possible names for this growing community — and I want your thoughts before we lock it in:

🔥 Dankened Ones – Awakened through cannabis and clarity. Once you’re dankened, there’s no going back.
🌐 Modern Litizens – Conscious, current, and lit in every sense. Citizens of higher thinking.
🔥 The Blazened – Touched by fire. Lit from within. Smoke and spirit aligned.

Drop your thoughts in the comments — we’ll vote soon.

Also covering 🌿 Tent prep & layout &🕯️Flip-to-flower timing (goal: partly? dried by my birthday — about 10 weeks out) Blaze makes a quick cameo, we get into a full plant update, and I close it out with some crispy macro footage.

Also discussing: switching from a 500-subscriber giveaway idea to something more 420 focused that gives back to those already here.

🔥 Thanks to every single person who shows up to this channel — it means more than you know.

This channel isn’t just content… it’s a culture.

Let’s define who we are.

Watering your Cannabis Plants the RIGHT WAY!

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Beginners. No Comments on Watering your Cannabis Plants the RIGHT WAY!

Your Guide to Successfully Watering your Cannabis Plants

If only watering your cannabis plants was as easy as giving them some water once a week.
Unfortunately, it isn’t, so get the watering element of your plant care wrong, and very quickly you’ll have dead or dying plants.

It might surprise you to learn that it is easier to overwater your cannabis plants than underwater them.

However, before you start thinking that watering is seriously complicated, it isn’t, you just need to follow a few basic rules.

First off there is pot size. For your seedlings, you want a small pot with a light and airy growing medium. You want to be able to get the growing medium nice and moist, but still well drained so that it will dry out.

If you put seedlings in a large pot, invariably the soil will never dry out to any extent, and the roots will begin to rot.

Once transferred to a large pot, you want to make sure that the soil, or growing medium, drains easily. The idea is for the soil to be moist, not soaking wet.

The pot should have holes in the bottom so that excess water can drain off, and the pot should be slightly raised so that it doesn’t stand in any excess water.

If your soil remains too wet, it will encourage the growth of mould and bacteria on the surface.
In a good set-up, the surface of the soil should dry out between watering – this stops mould and bacteria forming.

When you water the soil, it should take roughly two or three minutes for excess water to drain through. If it takes a lot longer, then the soil is too heavy and will remain too wet and compacted around the root system.

Adding perlite to soil is a good way to encourage healthy drainage.

While you can’t tell how wet the soil is at a depth of greater than six centimetres, sticking your finger in the soil is a good way to check if the plant needs watering. If it is dry all the way down, chances are it needs watering.

If you can feel that the soil is damp, leave things alone.

Often a good way to tell if a plant needs watering is to lift the pot – if it feels appreciably lighter than it did when it has just been watered, it’s time for a top-up.

The only other thing to keep an eye on, is the pH of the soil, as too much water can change it from the optimum 6.3-6.8.

So remember, cannabis plants are not the same as goldfish, so they don’t need to be immersed in water 24/7!

State Sen. Sharif Street’s bill to legalize recreational marijuana has some bipartisan support. It would legalize the drug for anyone 21 and older. Many of Pennsylvania’s neighbors, including New Jersey and Delaware, have already legalized adult-use cannabis. Jim Donovan has your morning headlines with weather from Meteorologist Kate Bilo.
