That is good to hear, at least he has what he has already built as a safety net.
I saw that too, which made me happy bacsue his Supernatural Selections and Nierika Landrace Preservations are primarily what interests me now. Can't wait to run this Metal Haze and Herbaria Bushman. Some fast finishing sativas would be great.
Not being hurtful or celebrating in her struggles, my fellow.
A division of assets and claim to future profits by Mrs Bodhi from the Bodhi brand might be a contributor to our man Bodhi considering other new ventures (exempt from a divorce agreement) was my point.

Well said a discussion is a discussion and everything is welcome and could have merit.. sometimes what ppl think is the most irrelevant is really what is driving someone’s decision. In this case I doubt it but information is information in my eyes and I welcome it all.

Nice!..facts are always preferred over speculations and regurgitated gossip and ASSumptions that were running wild on here.
Cutting through the spin on that post......he's got an opportunity to make some coin and "this will not effect any of my seed companies"

As for the pandemic making a couple of rough years..........I wonder what the truth is in that? Vegetable seed sellers sold out, people were home, the big box stores did good too....... But bodhi had an issue selling beans??? According to the drops I saw during that time, I did not see that lack of sales......not even close.
So my ASSumption was that he was dropping price based on market savvy and abundance of supply. In other words I felt like he was going to move inventory before it was too late.......like a big game of musical chairs, I believe the price of seeds will continue downward and that he realizes that. Sheer theory altho that is what is going to happen to seed prices......too much legality.

He may not have meant financially, the last few years have taken a significant mental toll on a lot of people. My company has been doing gangbusters business but I'll tell you I've thought about closing it up and taking a 9-5 a few times over the last few years. Supply chain issues and labor shortages have made everything so damn stressful. The amount of time I've spent chasing materials the last couple years is bonkers. Barely allows me time to actually run the damn business. And it's been coupled with customers becoming more demanding and shittier. Sometimes I miss when someone just wrote me a check for my 40 hours every week.As for the pandemic making a couple of rough years..........I wonder what the truth is in that?

I didn’t think you were meaning to be hurtful, but it doesn’t seem like it’s relevant to bring up in this conversation.
And as far as her claim to any profits from the whole cookies deal depends on whether or the Bodhi name is used. Considering he signed a contract to be their director of genetics, I would say it will all be released under the cookies name.
You are right that she may not have claim to any of the profits there. But she will still be making money from the Bodhi name since he posted that his own projects will continue.
At the end of the day the money from those projects is going to feed and take care of his children and their mother. I don’t think he is doing this out of spite, or as a loophole for a divorce settlement.

Mrs. B has said herself that she has had nothing to do with Bodhi Seeds since Jan 2021. This decision was purely Bodhi's.
Seed sales are going down. For most people. As more and more of us pop up, watering down the market, the need to pay that much for a pack diminishes. Many of us here are working with the same stock that the "big guys" are, doing just as nice of a job and charging a hell of a lot less. Bodhi just used a whole lot of word salad to explain that he's just trying to stay relevant and profitable in turbulent times. If it was really about North Cal genetics, why wouldnt he work with Menegene or somebody who has ACTUALLY been growing and breeding in that area for years?
I dont care one way or another, my beef is I HATE feeling like I'm being lied to or treated like I'm an idiot, just because you want to bend the truth to make yourself look better. Its purely a cash move. Just say so.

Easier said than done imo. For every person like you and I who would love to skip the reading between the lines part there's 100s of people who need to be lied too so they can continue to feel special.
Imagine the wook revolt if Bohdi was just like "I decided a steady income was just as important as the genetics".

Lmao you know half of them would just roll over and be like "well he still is about the positive vibes".
I mean, not like this should really be that big of a deal as it is to people, and im not implying that about anybody here. But I do agree with your point. When you're audience is that big it's much harder to be abrasively honest.

What a business model that is. I have to lie to my customers, so they can continue to feel special. Honor and ethics are nonexistent these days. Gotta love capitalism. I also love how it’s never mentioned that Bodhi and any of these other losers could’ve always been actual adults and had legal careers to provide for their family and children they decided to bring into this world. If you live like an adult and responsible member of society you’ll have the extra money and time to pursue your hobbies like breeding pot. Then people could actually do the stuff they always talk about in regards to pot. They could actually free the plant and get genetics to everyone and preserve them and blah blah blah, but that’s not what 99% of them are about and so many people eat it up.

I'm gonna propose an idea of why...
Obviously he is selling out which is fine. It's not the 90's anymore.
Biden is rescheduling cannabis. That will most likely mean that cross boarder trade will open up.
Berner has a distribution network setup already and one of the most known names. This is NOT about selling seeds or making new lines so much. This is about getting bodhi certified flower, concentrates and infused candy. Just go to cookies.co and look. U really can't buy shit on his site. And since they are setup bodhi has less work to do and more time to travel etc.
They most likely will start centralizing production too.
Bodhi is getting old and has crossed pretty much everything. What else is left?
P.s. Will be interesting to see what happens to his seed businesses.

Mr High n Mighty over here feels like he gets to tell everyone how to live their lives.
Clearly Bodhi has made a living off of this for a long time and didn’t need a “real career”. And now he is taking the necessary steps to continue his path and provide for his family. I’m not sure what your issue is, seems like you have some sort of vendetta.
All these people risked everything when cannabis was still highly illegal everywhere. You should show a little more respect since you are here, on a cannabis forum, growing the plant and buying seeds. Calling people losers for following their passions to provide the community with genetics is pretty low if you ask me.
Suffice to say I think your oversimplifying things a bit here. Being diplomatic with your words does not equate to lying. You can be passionate about breeding and want to turn it into a secure source of income for your family. They aren't mutually exclusive positions.
Also I'm pretty sure Bohdi has always been legal, and basically all he's doing is exactly what your suggesting, being an adult and making a decision he believes is best for himself and his family.
Also, ethics and honor didn't exist in more abundance in the past and that shit drives me nuts. We need to stop romantascizing bygone days like people didn't own slaves, perpetuate crusades and genocides and act generally all around awful throughout history. Being selfish and ignorant isn't a modern problem, it's a human problem. Its always existed. I just can't stand all the "everyone sucks these days" thing. Everyone's the same as they've ever been. The only real difference is the internet has allowed us all to see it all as it happens now.
And I know I'll probably get my "customers are becoming more entitled" comment thrown back in my face here so I'll clarify I didn't intend that to mean people are actually worse than they used to be, just that the trauma of the last few years both socially and economically has worn on people. I really don't blame them, they're just reacting out of fear and insecurity. But it does make things difficult to navigate when your running a business and have not only your own family, but also your employees and their families to think about.
Anyways, if you wanna hate on Bohdi that's your prerogative. I just don't find your reasoning particularly persuasive. It's easy to take a position of moral superiority from a distance. The hard part is accepting people despite their flaws. And the hardest part is accepting that we have them too.

I’ve been growing since 98’. My stepdad started in the late 60s. I don’t owe some cornball chucker any respect. These lames monetized the genetics and you all ride their jocks like little fanboys. It’s comical. Growing pot for yourself and smoking flower is a hobby. It only benefits you and adds nothing to the shared society you’re a part of. Get a job, contribute to the society you leach off of, and spend your free time breeding and chucking pollen. Then, you can get “the medicine” people need into the hands of the people who need it because you care about the plant and not about adding money to your pockets.

I’m not riding anyones jock, but I seem to be right about your vendetta. The problem with your argument is that it isn’t viewed as a medicine by everyone. To some is just recreation, and cannabis has been and always will be a commodity. So do you think other plant an animal breeders need to get real jobs too or do you just hate cannabis breeders?
And since you buy seeds from people to grow I would say that you do owe these people something. I don’t care how long you have been growing if you haven’t been making your own seeds you still need someone else to get them from. Get off your high horse.
Speaking of recognizing our own flaws, isn't it weird that everyone shitting on Bohdi on other forums just made me laugh, but here I got all defensive? Damn tribalism. Sorry @Bevers, hope you don't take it personally. It's not an indictment of you as a person, just that we disagree on the issue. Hope it didn't come through as too harsh or anything
