Hey man, I wanna say I really like what you're doing, and for what it's worth, I respect the hustle.

My family has farmed beef in southwest Missouri for 4 straight generations, and I continue to see fewer and fewer small scale farmers every year. I'm happy you guys are keeping this tradition alive. The amount of connection to the food we eat is getting lower and lower. Most of us eat food that was farmed an ocean away these days. Hope this next year goes well for you, and I hope to buy something from you in the future.

So I am firmly in the "cable and satellite can go fuck themselves" camp, it's been too expensive for a long time and now we have alternatives. As long as you have access to solid internet, you can get a Roku (my preferred option) or an Amazon FireTV. They're like 50 bucks for the fancyish models. There are quite a few free streaming services like Pluto, Tubi, etc.. With cutting your cable bill, you could also get a few streaming services and still come out the other end saving a decent bit of money month to month.

For local news, buy a cheap antenna.

You'll be okay, Springfield is honestly a pretty quiet town. Most of our crime is just meth related. I'm not sure if you guys have tweakers in India, but if you see an overly alert and skinny guy, just don't make eye contact and definitely don't talk to him. Follow that rule and you'll be fine.

I really hope you enjoy your time in Missouri. I've lived here my whole life, and I think we've got a couple good things on offer.

In my opinion, while you're in America, you need to try frozen custard, fried cheese curds, and the wonderful mess we refer to as Waffle House. If you listen to nothing else I say, please visit a Waffle House while you're in America.

Man I genuinely wanna know how you think that works. Like how would legalization raise prices? You say demand would go up, which yeah, possibly. But wouldn't the dispensaries be pretty eager to supply that market? Money would still spend if it passes, so they'd probably like to make some, and wouldn't multiple dispensaries competing with each other for customers bring prices lower than the current system of "knowing a guy or two"?

Economy of scale benefits alone would bring the price down tbh, you can grow a lot more weed when you don't have to hide that you're growing weed.
