The bastards won't be happy until they clamp it down to the point that THE ONLY place to "legally" buy meds will be the Centers. Guaranteed.

Getting ready to try and legalize in 2012.

3400 in PHX for cali indoor, good bud but not the best. 2200-2500 for their outdoor

Actually, half pinners at the city park.



GM... just get it to me bro... I gots ya! ;-)

I'd love to see CO legalize but I'm afraid the poor/disrespectful showing offered to the voters over the last 2 years in the "medical" arena has tipped folks off as to what will happen if they were to vote such a freedom in as law. (chaos and profiteering rather than personal use)

Either way, it's gonna be interesting to see what factors may play into such a decision between now and the Nov. 2012 election.

Hopefully all of the folks out there currently who are using the med law as a personal legalization tool will fight for that >specific< right rather than hiding behind something they had to lie about/fabricate to be a part of.

And to get back to the original topic....2800-4000 ...200-300 if ya deal with other patients...dependin' who ya know, of course. Street prices reflect what the Centers sell for...which is $360-400z.

Same as it ever was....same as it ever was...same as it ever was...same as it ever was....

I think the prices are high considering most of what I have smoked locally has been very low quality overall. With a only few exceptions. For the quality I found it should be no more than 2000 if you were paying by actual value.

If all you patients have rec for higher plant counts doesn't that entitle you to have more product for them.

Your indicated dispensary prices are WAY high for pricing these days. $200 ounces are common place. Check out weedmaps and you can see pricing in today's market. We cap ounces at $220 these days. Anybody that is slinging ounces for $360-$400 today will be VERY short lived in the industry.

A year ago $360=$400 maybe, but not today.

I see many disps capping their ounces at $$$, but then it is all crap...Sorry, just is. You can pay $15+ for a beer, brewed by the many hectoliters...And they sell out of it.
Why???
Cause it is that fucking dank of a beer.

I think you should be investing more time in the 'Musical Chairs Theory'...
What will happen to you, when Legalization hits?...Not over-regulation.

There are plenty of disps getting $300+/oz, not to mention when they sell it by the gram.
Why, 'cause it is hot fire!!!

LEO is helping you out down there, busting in doors, shutting down warehouses, making people put in needless rooms only to have to be locked.

At the end of the day, $300/oz isn't a lot for many/enough smokers...For many an oz can last a month or more.
Some tabacco smokers buy Pall Mall, some buy Marlboro, others buy American Spirit, others buy hand selected Virgina, some get Cuban strains grown in out 51st state Puerto Rico, and even others get that shit straight from Cuba.
And believe it or not, many Stoners actually make a good amount of money, in jobs that required College and such. Media loves to focus on the retarded stoners in society.
Some stoners live with mom, others make six figures....

Really? You go to a restaurant and bitch about how the food would taste better if it cost more? And when you pay a lot more its always better because you paid a lot more. Common, at least taste the bud before calling it crap.

You can make a beer thats worth $15, but its a whole new game to convince some kid that just moved out of moms basement cause he is making 6 figures, to believe its worth the price.

Not picking sides, but SkyHigh is up in Eagle/Summit/Pitkin County, and the rest of yall are Front Range.... huge variance in that regard..... I might be off on a county or two, but mountain prices are not the same as the city....

"But it's all crap"
awesome... How did we know that was coming?

The point was that the market is not supporting $360 to $400 ounces, not how much better caregivers think their meds are than dispensary meds.

Selling by the gram is not the same as selling by the ounce. Of course anybody will get $400+ by gram lots.

We have the opportunity to grow out elite dankness super fire plants as well. Genetics are easy to come by. However the VAST majority of patients prefer a reasonable price for quality meds vs higher priced cannaisseur grade cannabis. We grow what the market demands.

Truth be known, educated patients are starting to seek more CBD, less THC high. I have one Jamaican landrace that doesn't even get you high and looks like absolute larfy hell... can't keep it on the shelf because of the CBD content. It eases the pain and spasms but lets them still function with a clear head.

You have to be fucking kidding.

I have seen it as low as $2500/lb, and my buddy gets $4k for his Kush's.

there. I said it again

Thanks Bud. You pegged it. It's not the same in >any< regard. (that's why I live here)

you need to get out more, SoCoMMJ. These folks have been in biz much longer than you have and unless the DEA shows up, it doesn't appear as if they are going anywhere anytime soon.

To show I'm not BS'n ya, SOCoMMJ.....this ad runs Everyday in the local paper and has for 2+ years. The only price drop was from $90 + 4% tax to subtrating the tax to get to the $$ figure you see in the ad.....or $90 a quat "including tax". No break for oz's.

CG' oz's go for $250 in this valley....if there is a charge at all. (my patients don't pay a dime and never have)

Somehow we are debating the same side... I was saying that $360 to $400 ounces was too high of a projection for dispensary prices. It's more in the neighborhood of $200-$300 down here. Hell, you can pay 6 bucks for a coke in Vail.

I would get out more, if I wasn't working 15 hours a day :)

We actually have been in it for a while. Caregivers for numerous patients prior to HB10-1284. It was either go big or kick a bunch patients to the curb... we went big. Believe me, it hasn't been a fun trip.

No...YOU pay $6 for a Coke in Vail. LOL.

I can get a Coke for $.75 and park my car in town within a short walk of the lift for free 'cus I've lived here for 30 years and know how to >not< get ganked....

it's called >being prepared<.....and knowing where to go and who to talk to.

just like when ya buy weed here

I get $200.00 zip after patients needs are met. My patients are not fiends so their meds are free. All my weight is buried deep, must remember however where the hell its buried!!!

As a caregiver myself, I see this as a huge problem. Talk about driving the price down! Really?! Free?!!! Are the dispensaries free to their patients too?

This means that the ONLY market is again the illegal one.

I'm trying to run this gig totally on the up, at least as far as Colorado is concerned. I charge my patients $215/oz. If I have to go any lower than that, I won't be able to cover the overhead!

First, off my patients are actually legit, not rec users, generaly speaking the dispensaries meds cant compare to what I grow quality wise My meds actually help them in many ways besides rec. use. Knowing Iam helping someone who actualy benifits medicaly is a benifit for me too, not sayin your patients are not, but we all know whats up with a lot of other so called patients.

Second if you cant cover overhead for $200.00 zip, maybe something wrong with your grow.

Third, I cover overhead and still do pretty good. Not rich by any means, but make enough mad money for hobbies, special projects etc...

Fourth you are right its back to the illegal market, same as it ever was, over regualtion forced this not me.

Fifth and final point, IMO, its the stupid asses who opened up all these dispensaries on every block are the ones who got us where we are today. Too much in face...Folks dont like...CM
PS sorryfor the funky quote...Kind of computer dumbass!!

The new regulations were designed to put caregivers out of business.

Bottom line.

It is (becoming) similar to brewing beer now. There isn't the same money in brewing beer as there was during prohibition. The black market tends to go under when shit becomes legal.

Don't cling to old days of this industry. Adapt to the new

Once all of these shops start to close, and once the patients realize that 90% of the market is mid-grade at best, the prices will jump right back up.

Also, once the security cameras get installed and the big boys can/will track every plant from clone to end user, these giant mega-warehouses producing beasters won't be able to flood the black market with $2500/lb's anymore.

that's my prediction....but then again, what do I know? maybe somebody can start a thread about what I said lol

I didn't say this....but......

If it takes sellin a few bags outside the realm of MMJ so SICK people with NO INCOME can get free weed...so be it.

As it sits in Colorado today, recreational users are just med folks with no cash on hand to BUY their card. Period. Nothin more.

Do what you gotta do, folks. The STATE and the CENTERS sure are.

wot a mess....

Hmmm, maybe that's the problem,...

I'm yet to get over 2# per round under 600W. How much would I have to yield in order to afford to give it all away?
