posted in: US Hemp Co | 0

There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages that you can get from buying cheap cannabis seeds. Unfortunately, a lot of people think that expensive and cheap seeds are all the same, which is definitely not true. Today, I will be showing some of the reasons why you should and should not buy cheap seeds. Reading this article will also help you determine whether you really need to buy cheap seeds or not.

Reasons Why You Should Buy Cheap Cannabis Seeds

Get more seeds for less – if you are planning to start your own garden just for fun, then cheap cannabis seeds would be a great option. This will allow you to build the garden that you want without spending and wasting a lot of money.

Gain experience without spending too much – if you are going to buy cheap cannabis seeds, then you will learn how to properly take care of them without spending a lot of money. This will allow you to gain enough experience before you start to breed high quality plants.

Souvenirs don’t have to be expensive – if you are buying seeds for fun, then you don’t have to spend a lot of money for it. A few dollars would be enough to get the souvenir that you need. This will help you get what you want without spending a lot of money.

Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy Cheap Cannabis Seeds

Quality pays the price – if you are planning to build a farm filled with high quality cannabis, then you need to avoid purchasing cheap seeds. Although it will bear the same type of plant, the quality of the smoke will be much lower.

It takes longer to grow – cheap seeds take months before you can harvest them. Fast-growing seeds take about 6-8 weeks before harvesting, and you can expect cheap seeds to take longer.

Safety and legality has its price – if you want to be safe when buying your seeds, then you need to be careful when buying seeds. Although there are stores where you can get cheap seeds safely, most online stores are fraud and are operating illegally.

These are some of the things that you need to know about cheap seeds. Always remember that the choice depends on your preferences, and your plans. Expensive or cheap cannabis seeds have their own advantages and disadvantages and it all depends on the person who will be using or breeding the seeds.

MMJ Business Academy Introduces Cannabis Boot Camp

posted in: US Hemp Co | 0

Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) January 23, 2015

The MMJ Business Academy, a Colorado Springs-based organization dedicated to helping entrepreneurs succeed in the medical marijuana industry (MMJ), today announces the launch of Cannabis Boot Camp. The Cannabis Boot Camp is an in-depth, two-day program designed for individuals wishing to start a successful MMJ business or expand their existing operations. The program is led by accomplished advisors well versed in MMJ law and best practices, as well as investors and seasoned entrepreneurs. The Cannabis Boot Camp, held at the Mining Exchange Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs, will start on Saturday, January 31, 2015 and will be followed by an investor pitch event on Sunday, February 1.

Speakers will include the following:

KC Stark, Founder and CEO of Medical Marijuana Business Academy
Charles T. Houghton, Esq., Owner of Charles T. Houghton, P.C., a law firm dedicated to providing business, compliance, licensing and regulatory advice to the recreational and medical marijuana industry.
Alina Lekser, Venture Capitalist, keynote speaker.

“The medical marijuana sector is exploding,” said Stark. “MMJ is currently a $ 2 billion market that’s projected to grow to $ 10 billion by 2018. It’s a land of opportunity, with the potential of becoming a big economic driver, that’s also fraught with pitfalls. We created the Cannabis Boot Camp to help entrepreneurs avoid common mistakes and significantly increase their chance of success.”

“Starting a company is easy; running a successful MMJ business is an entirely different story,” said Houghton. “This is a complicated, highly regulated, ever-changing market. Cannabis Boot Camp provides entrepreneurs with relevant, up-to-date information—everything from regulatory compliance, to day-to-day operations, to key business decisions — that helps them start and grow best-in-class businesses. The event also makes it possible to connect with experts who can answer questions and help entrepreneurs make key business decisions. ”

Stark and Houghton, both members of City of Colorado Springs Medical Marijuana Task Force, that assisted the City in developing its regulatory framework, have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs create thriving companies.

“KC was instrumental in helping us open our business and getting our marketing going,” said Gina Haynes, Manager of The Herb Shoppe. “KC is very knowledgeable about the industry and passionate about helping entrepreneurs create premier establishments.”

“The 18th Amendment of the United States Constitution turned martini-consuming but otherwise law-abiding citizens into criminals, and caused legitimate businesses to be replaced with illegal ones that paid no taxes,” said Perry Sanders Jr. Esq., owner of the Mining Exchange Hotel. “It took years for the United States to come to its senses and end prohibition of alcohol. Repealing the current version of prohibition makes a lot of sense. Not only will it take the black market profit out of marijuana and reduce the funding of gangsters and terrorists, it will also stop the obvious hypocrisy of putting people in jail for choosing one drug over another—wine over marijuana, for example—and bring an evenhandedness to the process of taking away a person’s freedom. I’m very pleased with the progress that the State of Colorado and people like KC Stark are making in reforming marijuana laws and establishing legitimate, taxpaying businesses.”

One Stop Shop for Entrepreneurs

The Cannabis Boot Camp offers entrepreneurs a convenient one stop shop where they can get the information they need to launch and grow successful MMJ businesses.

Boot camp participants will:

Learn how to apply for all necessary licenses, comply with the regulations, and understand how to form and operate a successful marijuana business;

Meet like-minded entrepreneurs;
Develop an understanding of how to effectively pitch to investors.

Saturday, January 31, 2015, 6pm – midnight: Caiji business networking event for boot camp participants. Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to meet boot camp speakers, mentors, investors, and seasoned entrepreneurs with successful MMJ businesses.

Advantages of Buying Cheap Cannabis Seeds

posted in: US Hemp Co | 0
cannabis
by JaviC

It has been said that both expensive and cheap cannabis seeds have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. However, there are still a lot of people who are not aware of these things, which is why they often end up purchasing the wrong seeds for them. Today, I will be discussing some of the main advantages of using cheap cannabis seeds. Reading this article will help you find the one that is perfect for your needs and your budget.

The main advantage why buying cheap cannabis seeds are advisable is because you are purchasing it more likely for collection. In most countries, mere possession of these seeds is prohibited. If you are going to buy seeds, the store where you will be purchasing it clearly claims that the seeds they are selling are for collection purposes only. With that being said, you don’t have to look for high quality seeds since you won’t be using them in the first place. Buying cheap seeds will allow you to get your collection without spending a lot of money.

If you are planning to start a garden, without any plans of using it personally, then buying cheap cannabis seeds may also be advantageous. This is due to the fact that both expensive and cheap seeds can grow into plants, and this will complete your garden. You don’t have to plant high quality seeds just to start a garden, and it will also help you save a lot of money.

If your country allows production and selling of marijuana, then cheap cannabis seeds may be beneficial depending on the business plan that you want to implement. If you are going to plant cheap seeds, you will be producing tons of low quality plants that can be sold at a much lower price. This will allow you to get more money without spending a lot as your initial expense. This depends on your preference and the purpose of your cannabis breeding.

These are some of the advantages that you can get from using cheap seeds. Always remember that it is up to you and the laws in your country, so you need to make sure that you always put these into consideration when deciding whether you will be using expensive or cheap cannabis seeds. The first thing that you want to avoid when buying seeds is to have problems with law enforcers in the future.

Cannabis Career Institute To Conduct Seminar In Philadelphia To Promote Jobs and Business Opportunities For The Growing Industry

posted in: US Hemp Co | 0


Philadelphia, PA and Burbank, CA (PRWEB) January 22, 2015

This Sunday, January 25, at the Hampton Inn – Philadelphia International Airport, 8600 Bartram, Philadelphia, PA, 19153, DOUG PORTER, the Cannabis Career Institute expert in Bud-Tending, Dispensary Management, Delivery Service and Security, will conduct an all day seminar teaching budding cannabis entrepreneurs how to get started in the evolving industry.

CCI offers state-specific training courses that address a range of topics from legal requirements and regulations to basic grow techniques.

Last Fall,Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter signed an ordinance decriminalizing marijuana in the City of Brotherly Love, making it the largest U.S. city to have done so. However, the politicians at the state level have not so been progressive in their support of legalizing cannabis. Fortunately, that could all change soon as newly elected Governor, Tom Wolf, has displayed strong support for law reform. Lively debate is anticipated regarding emerging cannabis developments of the state.

“CCI Seminar interest from cannabis-minded businessmen and women all over the country has been tremendous,” said Porter. “As the cannabis legalization movement continues to envelope the nation, more and more people are seeing the exciting and potentially lucrative business opportunities available. Helping people understand the industry and preparing them to pursue their goals is what we do.”

“There is no other industry on the planet right now that is growing as rapidly as the cannabis business,” added Gary Lane, CCI’s Sales and Marketing Director. “If someone is looking for a career in marijuana or wants to learn how the industry works, the one day CCI workshop is an excellent primer. Not only does one receive valuable instruction and information but what also usually happens is a “class-bonding” dynamic. More often than not, students of each of the classes form their own networking and support group that turns into a valuable and life-long resource.”

Cannnabis Career Institute specializes in teaching would-be entrepreneurs how to navigate the often-murky waters of starting up a cannabis business. CCI presents students with an objective expanse of options with step-by-step instruction on the process of starting a business. Delivery, Dispensary Management, Law, Compliance, Marketing and Advertising, Cultivation, Extracts and Cooking are all discussed in detail, providing students with many choices to fit their career goals and lifestyle.

Cost for the one day seminar, that also allows for students to attend any future class for free, is $ 349 and includes a seminar manual.

As seen on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, the Huffington Post, and more, CCI was the first cannabis seminar training program ever offered and is the most successful of its kind.
