Even if you factor out equipment & labor expenses, the cost of the electricity and water alone put $50 oz out of the question in today's market. It is not uncommon for grow houses out here to have $5k + electricity bills.
These guys are still making bank like no other though. If this passes, tell your 18 year old kids to become an electrician or HVAC specialist for a few years, demand will be out of control.
