Without beating a dead horse to much, you really do not understand the commercial market at all...you will go out of business before you even get started if you try and only cater to the 20% that will actually pay high prices for high quality and its really more like 5% of the market not 20%. I know you say you have money and I'm not doubting that but it is about $1.5 million just to get in the door right now and that money has to be legit, documented income. Because that would be outside out of state investment you couldn't participate in any profit or scaled return structure only as a strait loan with interest paid. Right now your are probably looking at close to a year just to put a deal together, then you have to build out and get "CO'd" then start the process with licensing with the city and state which can take another 6 months of waiting before you can even start production, then you will have to self finance your production for another 120-180 days before you can even have the opportunity to generate any revenue from your efforts.
One thing people outside the commercial agricultural side of the industry fail to realize is that this is not about producing A+++ product, people just do not buy it and honestly most dispensary customers wouldn't even know it if they saw it, that is not the business model at all..your capped out at $225-$250/oz and that will sit on the shelf if you have B grade sellin at $180/oz right beside it and if you have $125/oz of shake you will sell 100 to 1 against the badass dank. Wholesale is sitting at $1800-$2200 pretty much accross the board and some volume guys are knockin it at $1600. Just the way it is, I get far more call/demand for less than dank than I do the dank. I even have retailers asking me not to bring them the badass weed, they would rather have B grade that they can market at a discount to the masses. The best analogy I can think of is craft beer compared to PBR..people drink Sierra Nevada but alot more people drink PBR...Alot more hamburger sold than filet mignon..sure filets are better but the difference in $6/lb and $29/lb makes it a very small market niche and most producers can not survive on that small of a market share.
