[lbo-talk] farming

[martin schiller]

My preferred outcome for social status of pot is deregulation/deregulated. This whole idea of legalization and regulation seems stupid for us - brilliant for 'them'. If people want to grow and sell pot in a deregulated state they would be able to bank and reinvest and pay taxes on their profit and wages like everybody else. Has anyone done a cost/benefit analysis comparing the alternatives of deregulation versus regulation? 

Maybe it would make rural agricultural work more attractive. Although there seems to be a lot of urban farming going on and a fairly innovative market in lighting, and other peripherals. Are urban farmers counted among agricultural workers?
