It's just shitty weed in general. It competes on a quantity level not a quality level. Folks will get sick of premature harvesting, huffing PM, mold, and listening to ol' snap crackle and pop from a no flush when they fire the shit up. It's dealers who tell their clientel that every batch they get is the best one yet. What got me into the scene? an inconsistent supply of dank and a constant supply of beaster. It's always been around. I had a guy tell me he could get a bag cheaper from some other dude, and I told him to go do it if he thought I was ripping him off. He bought my shit because he new it was better. People want the best and they want it for free. Don't bring your prices down, just do all you can to improve your quality so much that the beaster stuff flooding the market isn't even close to the dank that you have. Tell people to fuck off if they don't want to buy it. Their friend will buy some dank, they'll go have a smoke out and the dude that bought the crap will embarrass himself. If you're at a party, the ladies go for the dank and you'll meet better quality folks with some dank vs some beaster. Anytime someone would come over to grab a bag, I load them a bowl out of my own stash so they know what dank is and is not. I had to get beaster when I went dry, but I warned folks about it and I sold it for $40 instead of $50. Some folks were just happy to see anything when it gets really dry around august, september, and early october. Alot of folks stop their grows in the summer due to the heat and there is a dry spell.

The beaster has it's place and time, but don't compromise your price for a surplus of an inferior product. It's bad for the market.

Well spoken. I won't smoke beasters though, especially out of my pipe. It's never that dry thank the good lord I may have to pay some high prices at times but it all evens out :) Sorry to hear that skunkmaster people who grow the chron out there get good prices for it which is why they won't sell to the low ballin ass high markup clubs. Unfortunate :( Good luck finding some headys

that's definitely a fair price for some organic ($300 an oz) considering you'll get about 10-20% less of a yield with 100% organic. The price reflects that and that's fine. Customers are used to going grower direct for chronic, so if dispensaries want to compete they either need to grow it themselves, buy inferior quality and charge the same price, or try and low ball the grower to make a profit.

If you run a dispensary, learn how to grow or you'll get stuck with crap, because growers are not going to drop their prices on dank and customers are not willing to pay $80 an eighth so you can keep a store open and make a living.

This is an interesting market as customers are used to going grower direct or having much less of a markup than a dispensary can afford. One way for dispensaries to profit is to tack on 40% to your price, so your organic bud would go for $420 an ounce or more through a disp. Customers aren't willing to pay that most of the time. I think it's worth it, you pay for the convenience of a dispensary. Don't expect anything at 7-11 to be the same price as a grocery store.

The other option is to buy for $215 an ounce and sell for $300 or more. You can't buy decent weed for $215 an ounce. This is why dispensaries have crap and they sell alot of crap. People are use to $50 eighths but they want convenience. Too bad, you get one or the other.

The only viable dispensary option is to cut out the grower and grow it. There is no way I would even contemplate opening a dispensary unless I knew I was going to supply at least 60% of the product myself and I was confident enough in my skills as a grower to compete in the market.

I concur...3 bills is a good set price. I've been there for years. What really pisses me off though, is I get word that my work is being peddled by privateers at 20-25 a G.

It seems that I can live with myself, but the market dictates the mark-up.
Juxt: quit payin exhuberent prices for good bud!

The dispensaries have convenience and that demands a price increase. Do you want to peddle your product for $25 a gram all day? I don't. I would rather grow it, sell it to a dispensary, and go back to growing. I'll leave the retail sale up to salesmen. Customers need to get use to the price increase associated with the increase in convenience. Ideally dispensaries try and take a little from both sides and get a slightly lower price from the grower and a slightly higher price from the customer. If you've got real dank, don't sell it for less than $4k a pound or you're fucking yourself and alot of other people in the market. $4k a pound is cheap enough as it is.

Well, it looks like people are willing to pay $25 a g. I haven't ever had weed I would pay that much for, but some folks don't have any sense. I don't care, sell my weed for $50 a gram if some dumbass is willing to pay it.

oooh... that is harsh. it must be some of those caddyshack kids buying it, "It's good stuff, I got it from a real negro!"

Yep.....everything is KUSH!

No, no it's not the Kush...here's the Kush..oops just got raised to 800.

Take note everyone.....places like Suite 215 who put caps on their topshelf meds are the ones doing the "right thing"!!!

no just capo's nuggets be dank and in the mid west prices are a lot higher then out west. if your getting sick tickets on dank out here, than u know growers and u yourself are a grower and part of a lil underground group pretty much. any person i know out im MI that doesnt have a card and grow there own can expect to pay up to $600 for some kush if your not in the right circles. i agree with pair prices. mine are never over 4, but even at 4 people i know still take my shit and do 100 sack 4 gram bagz. its all about location and supply and demand. trust me i can get the cali shit that gets brought in by homies for 27z a full....turn around and they move for 300 here ALL DAY. no joke. last cali was Sour Grape, Blue Dream, and Snow Wreck.....its that not imported home grown mid west diggity dank people are wanting and that shit is just expensive for most people, no way around that. trust me i would love for everyone to smoke my shit for 4 or less but that fact is, im not going out around town bangin the shit out myself LOL.... i only deal with legal card patients....

there are sooo many great growers pumping out 10lbs a month that if you think your going to hold firm at 4800 your nutts. Lets see a pic of this magic herb. the ego on you guys, ever notice that everyone thinks their shit is the best? I know plenty of great growers, growing the best strains, that now are getting 3-3500 a lb. Honestly if you tell a disp your selling your shit for 4800 after they stop laughing they will say "next" and buy the guys herb behind you that is just as nice and he only wants 3400, and he has ten of them. get real boys
 
#95
I sure do hope you are one of the guys who open a dispensary!
People need to keep it real in the midwest!

Packaged weed from Cali, albeit good, is not always pretty and cared for and lacks that organic finish we small timers take pride in.
 
#96
of course this is for med states only, you could get 6gs lb in NYC
 
#97
you guys gotta remember too that there are people who are yeilding metric tons outdoor, and it all gets sold, lets not pretend it reps cali weed. It reps the larf
 
#98
No way does it rep Cali.........the packaged is the new beasters!
The indoor crops never ever leave Cali.
People get the wrong idea about calin strains.
It's like saying, hey wanna go to BC and smoke some beasters?

hahaha, this seems like one of those beat on people case threads. i just popped in here to see what it was all about and put my two cents in. im not tryin to even argue with ANYONE, im all about piece and love homies. but i will say this. the mid west will never be the west, we are our own thing. you guys have your price wars, indoor and outdoor. iv smoked some of the best best that cali has to offer. plenty of it, and theres no dought thats its KILLER....but most of you cats that are all from cali have never been to some of our spots in the mid west and we are doing the quality gig just as well. i dont have any kind of an ego thing kickin cuz my boys grow just as good as herb as myself, even HeavyDutyKevorkian thats on this site with his 91chem. if michigan even ever gets to price wars about "trying" to get 4000 for a P of my larry then im out the game cuz i dont care what anyone thinks, after all that labor and all that shit, 14 weeks of my life is worth at least $300 a zip, i dont care if shops wont take it cuz my patients will. im no greedy dude, when my shop opens we will have around a $400 cap for zips. no price increase if u only want a 1/4 zip. but we do it a bit different than the west, so you guys can compare your style to ours. sure we buy up your outdoor "larf" but its like still only 175 a zip and most people are going and getting Garf brick that i wont touch for 100 a zip around the city, so yeah when im dry ill smoke decent ourdoor for a bit if im out of meds and not a harvest comin for over a week. cali has great meds but its getting a lil old when people talk about cali like the mid west will never match your guy quality level.

imdoor cali makes it here if you know people that go there can bring messes of it back :) ....the better outdoor is like 2700 and the decent indoor is 3200~3600 and the top end stuff (maybe not what you guys hoard out there but some AA buds) is like $4800, sometimes $4500 if he likes us that day. isnt compressed, still nice a fluffy, doesnt even look like it went cross country.
