You can't.
Maybe in CO, but you are going to have to wait for other states to open up, because the market is already pretty saturated. You're gonna need about a decade more of growing experience before you get into a legit growing job, IMO. That is unless you already know someone with a foot in the door.

Well, if you are talking investing... 
You could easily sponsor some growers, pay for the equipment, housing, and wages. This would probably require a decent amount of kick start $... I'd say over 500k minimum, but I don't understand what scale you are even thinking about. I'm not in the legit side of things yet so all I know is hearsay from people who are.

well it'll be a long fucking time before you're as huge as Greenhouse, Mr. Nice, Arjyan or any of those fools. They're all extremely experienced cultivators with an army of assistance in getting famous.
Your best bet would be to just buy a warehouse somewhere like Cali or CO and just try to grow the best weed anyone has ever seen. chances are good that you'll be able to sell it that way if the quality is good and the price is low enough

haha for the record I meant you'll be able to sell it to dispensaries and various edible manufacturers.
But seriously the market is crazy saturated out here already, you'd be an idiot to open a dispensary, the only way I'd see someone getting their foot in the door is if they had top shelf weed at like $2000/lb the dispensaries wouldn't be able to say no.

Oh yeah totally. Most growers understand that, and it is the reason many have chosen to stay in the black market. I need MN to go medical, I'd jump on that shit instantly and make a killing!!!
Fucking Pawlenty vetoed it TWICE so now that we're putting another Governor in his position I'm really hoping it passes this time! We were among the first group of states to decriminalize, I don't understand why we dont have MMJ yet...

I think there are still a couple of counties in Maine that Maine DHHS is still accepting dispensary applications for but that's likely to close again in the next few months if it hasn't already.
From what I've read a plurality of the dispensary licenses Maine has issued went to non-profits bank-rolled by California dispensaries, just to give you an idea of what kind of funding and experience they're looking for in making those decisions.

Wouldn't it be easy(ish) to sell clones and seeds legally? Everyones thinking real big on selling buds, but how about selling some clones?
'round here clones sell for $20 each on the black market. I mean, even selling them for $5 each would be an insane profit. The plant regenerates itself and people would be crazy for decent genetics. Just grow grow grow, find a really good mother and sell some clones! :]

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

I've got a buddy, my old main weed dealer, who sold u kno like anywhere from 100lbs to 500lbs, all i kno is he sold 10-20 pounds a week for a loooooooooong time, he got all his money saved up, and he moved out to CO. He got some kind of growing license, and now he grows weed medically, he has to have like idk what it was i think like 1000 grams every three weeks or some shit.
Don't get pissed and throw a little bitchy fit if any of my information is a little off, its all from memory.

I'm not sure about other states but in Maine it would still be illegal to sell clones or seeds without a dispensary license. A 'Qualified Patient' or a QP's 'Designated Caregiver' might be able to trade clones but they wouldn't be allowed to sell them.
Edit: I'll have to go back and look at the latest update to the language but it might not be explicitly legal for dispensaries either.

If you're interested in producing seeds you're going to need to get proven breeding stock and have the ability to grow hundreds of plants.
Some internet breeding sensations IMO really don't do actual breeding but have cult followings and access to sought after strains which people jump all over. These people still operate illegally.
Grow for 10 years, travel around the world and talk to breeders and try to collect breeding stock. Then maybe you'll be in a position to produce some exceptional seeds and start a seedbank.

I meant as a caregiver, or selling them to dispensaries (because I thought that dispensaries sold clones?).
I'm really interested in Maines law...I'm not sure if my condition is covered unfortunately. I have high intra-ocular pressure, but everything I'm reading includes "DUE TO GLAUCOMA". I have something very similar to that, but not that. Fucking intra-ocular pressure  (actually, I rarely notice it...and when I do its an easy cure  )

Well that might fall under this clause if you experience pain at times:
Quote:
B. A chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition or its treatment that produces intractable pain, which is pain that has not responded to ordinary medical or surgical measures for more than 6 months;
You would just need a letter from your GP/Optometrist (*licensed by the state of Maine*) which meets these requirements:
Quote:
"Written certification" means a document signed by a physician and stating that in the physician's professional opinion a patient is likely to receive therapeutic or palliative benefit from the medical use of marijuana to treat or alleviate the patient's debilitating medical condition or symptoms associated with the debilitating medical condition. A written certification may be made only in the course of a bona fide physician-patient relationship after the physician has completed a full assessment of the qualifying patient's medical history. The written certification must specify the qualifying patient's debilitating medical condition.
Now from a legal standpoint your doctor can recommend marijuana as a treatment for anything he believes it will help because he's merely stating a medical opinion, it's up to the Dept. of Health and Human Services to grant or deny the actual patient cards. I could be out of date but I don't think they've actually started taking applications for cards yet so just the letter from your doctor is all you'd need to satisfy a nosy cop. Eventually there will be a way to request the addition of conditions to the list of specific qualified conditions. However it would be subject to public hearings and they'd still have 180 days after the hearings to deliberate before they're required to make a ruling so it might take some time.

Well, not to take this thread off topic, but we didn't know I had my pseudo tumor until I stopped smoking. I stopped smoking for a few months to get a job at Walmart...and I would wake up spinning with virtigo so bad I couldn't walk. I'd have migraines that almost killed me. I couldn't figure out why.
Then when I went back to my eye doctor, he asked "did you used to smoke marijuana?" and I reluctantly told him yes (because my mom works for him...didn't want to get anything taken out on her). I was blown away when he said "well you should start it up again".
The alternative medicine are horrible pills that make me sick and a spinal tap a few times a year
