Topic: WHAT IS THE "FAIR" MARKET VALUE SET FOR "A" CANNABIS PLANT ?

Hello Fellow ASA members and lurking community,

I am doing some research into the "fair" market "value" of "A" cannabis plant and would like some input from my fellow ASA members and anyone of the "lurking" community to chime in their opinion of what the "fair" market "value" of "A" cannabis plant is..

Keeping in mind I have posted "A" cannabis plants "fair" market "value" for a "hybrid" is $12,500 per plant.. Wink (please ignore what I claim and show me why your claim is the value you say it is )Smile

I have had some folks a bit upset at me for claiming such a HIGH value(no names).. so please help me see why I am wrong, my calculations are a wet dream ONLY, I am just stoned out of my mind, I am just an idiot .. I have heard these things , so I give an opportunity here to show me what's in your wallet .. Cool

Please no spitting or joking around..

Someone must set a precedent case for leo taking patients plants in washington state.. I have a case with approx. 72 plants taken and is still alive in the courts..

All inputs are appreciated.

United States Sentencing Guidelines § 2D1.1(c)(4), as then in effect, instructed the district court to impose an equivalency of one kilogram per plant for an offense involving more than 50 plants.

I would love to chime in on this . That really all depends on what the end use is to be. For example a healthy mother should produce up to 75+ clones a month at 10.00 ea. that's 9,000.00 annual . If it's one of our six way x's that took over three years to make and stabilize I would say a lot more than 12,500.00 per plant (they're priceless). Were these indoor/outdoor ? I lost two nurseries in the past few years I valued the generic strains (meaning anything easily acquired and common) at no less than 1500.00 min. per mother if she was uncut and within the first 90 days of rooting. These are just estimates and my opinion only. Remember and I am assuming you're an experienced grower ,inexperienced growers should never count on certain values there are just too many variables. Even with years of experience stuff sometimes happens. I wish you all of the luck and truly hope someone with real legal knowledge answers you and that you get the results you wish for. Sorry about your garden whatever it was.


The "MILKING COW/GOAT" legal theory .. love it. !!  tongue

Now to find the case law hee hee. smile

Thank You GotClones1 . smile

And yes it was a X of many strains taken we had developed for my day-to-day living. I managed to stay off of federal welfare(social security), till they was taken and unable to replace.. So YES PRICELESS !! 

As I have always stayed on a consumer side of the use of cannabis.. the sales loss of 75 per month @ $10 each has never been an element to consider.

So I must think about that equation in a different context.

Thank you for chiming in.. I much appreciate a different view point for sure, as this one sparked a great idea..  smile

?2D1.1 (Unlawful Manufacturing, Importing, Exporting, or Trafficking (Including. Possession ..... 520 U.S. 751, 757 (1997), and “commentary in the Guidelines ...

This has the plant info located in it. Along with the case law .

b. Marijuana Plants. A marijuana plant is defined as “an organism
having leaves and a readily observable root formation.” See
§2D1.1, comment. (n.17). See also United States v. Foree, 43 F.3d
1572, 1581 (11th Cir. 1995) (a cutting or seedling from a
marijuana plant is not considered a plant until the cutting or
seedling develops roots of its own). Neither the statute nor the
Drug Quantity Table differentiates between male and female
plants. See Note (E) to Drug Quantity Table (“regardless of sex”);
see also United States v. Proyect, 989 F.2d 84, 88 (2d Cir. 1993)
(upholding constitutionality of failure to differentiate).
Under §2D1.1, one marijuana plant is treated as equivalent to 100
grams of marijuana. See Note (E) to Drug Quantity Table. The
Guidelines make an exception to this equivalency if the actual dry
weight of harvested marijuana is greater, in which case the court
should use the actual dry weight of the harvested marijuana. See
id. Courts have generally applied the equivalency even if the
actual weight of harvested marijuana plants is lower than 100
grams per plant. See United States v. Olsen, 537 F.3d 660, 665 n.2
(6th Cir. 2008) (collecting cases). The Sixth Circuit has limited
this rule to manufacturing cases and has held that a sentence for
possession or distribution should be based on the actual weight of
the harvested plants. Id. at 663.
Note: One marijuana plant is treated as equivalent to 1 kilogram
(not 100 grams) of marijuana for purpose of setting the statutory
penalty range. See 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(b)(1)(A)(vii), (B)(vii), (D).
