quote: | How cheaply could pot be grown with advanced farming techniques? One potential data point is Canada’s industrial hemp industry, where production costs are about $500 per acre. If the kind of mid-grade commercial weed that accounts for about 80 percent of the U.S. market could be grown that cheaply, it implies costs of about 20 cents per pound of smokable material: Enough pot to fill more than 800 modest-sized half-gram joints for less than a quarter!. Those numbers are probably optimistic, since in practice recreational marijuana is grown from more expensive transplanted clones rather than from seeds. Even so, the authors note that “production costs for crops that need to be transplanted, such as cherry tomatoes and asparagus, are generally in the range of $5,000-$20,000 per acre.” That implies costs of less than $20 per pound for high-grade sensimilla and less than $5 a pound for mid-grade stuff. Another way of looking at it, suggested by California NORML Director Dale Gieringer, is that we should expect legal pot to cost about the same amount as “other legal herbs such as tea or tobacco,” something perhaps “100 times lower than the current prevailing price of $300 per ounce—or a few cents per joint.”
This would make pot far and away the cheapest intoxicant on the market, absolutely blowing beer and liquor out of the water. Joints would be about as cheap as things that are often treated as free. Splenda packets, for example, cost 2 or 3 cents each when purchased in bulk. |

The last lot of genuinely murderous ones we had in the garden I got rid of by pouring boiling water down their holes. They haven't come back, anything else can probably be ignored as harmless. |
Yeah, i think those were Steve Irvins last words as well "they can probably be ignored as harmless". Besides, ive watched enough bad american 50s scifi movies to know that boiling water is never the answer, theres a reason why nobody ever shouts "Kill it with boiling water". Kill it with fire is usually the tactic one would and should use to deal with those pest problems. I suggest napalm just to be doubly sure.

We've got NZ next door with all the snow you could ever want, very good skiing and their economy consists of not much really so you can go a long way on just lunch money.
Last time I did that it was cheaper to go to NZ for the same amount of time, including air-fare- than it is to go to Aust snow fields.

Whats even cheaper is driving 5 km to the top of the nearest hill and ski down there a couple of dozen times Shame i dont ski anymore really...

Well once you reach that point in life where your biggest complaint is that your life is easy but restrictive, you have basically won life already...damnit i need to work harder /goes away to do more work
