See and it was on the up and up. thats why its soo f'd. Dude, I lost 35 ilbs cause i couldnt afford food! I just got f'd and am little bittler thats all...
And THATS why YOUR a shwagger. You love that corporate greed too. I think there is some honesty in saying the good growers are going underground again. where they should be. all these "investors are just ediots! I'm just saying when someone thinks green cure acutally "cures" and then they tell me im crazy. Same story just cut down a room with 8 1.5lb plants and the next month of the big room will be 2.5-3 oz plts.15 every two lights. and they said we wernt producing enough! but dont worry. I still have the home grow. But thanks for all the input, Still need a jobb. "on the clock tower note, im a trained snipe(usmc) anyone need a class???"[/QUOTE]There will always be a Wal-Mart -> Target -> JCPenney -> Nieman Marcus.
Corporate 'greed' as you call it has weeded out lots of scheisters throughout history, offer goods and services at a market price, don't shit on your customers, suppliers, vendors and employees - Make MONEY. Hire more people, buy more stuff, increase efficiencies, prices drop = Happy customers and Happy employees.
The Wal-mart -> Nieman Marcus reference was to show there IS room for all. YOU the consumer, employee, vendor has the CHOICE of where to go and quality of goods/services.
Wanna go back underground? Go for it. But don't bitch when you get undercut by the big boys that have increased efficiencies and prices drop below what ~you~ expect some one to pay.
I think there will ~always~ be room for connoisseur items.
I can buy a case of Bud (I don't) for 18$ or I can buy a single 750ml bottle of craft beer (I do) for $20.
Do I whine about it? Hell no. I gladly support the 'corporate greedy bastards' that offer me a product I want, at a price I KNOW is fair, because I know what went in to it.
Want to compete? Be ready for July when the moratorium ends, open your own dispensary and compete, whether in a niche market (connoissuer), mid-range (Target) or bottom of the barrel beasters (Wal-Mart).
Be happy you are even able to do this at all.
the fact is that there are 10 people with the same experience...or more....who are waiting in the wings to replace you.
and as RMCG pointed out...... things aren't gonna get any better anytime soon as July 2011 rolls around and the next wave of greedy fuckers step up to play ball.
In the end....what you are experiencing is basically the same feeling of change those of us who were patients before this all blew up have experienced. >Everything< we knew pre-July 2009 has been turned upside down.
Unfortunately, as MMJ becomes more common-place.... the same business model will play out before our eyes that we have allowed to play out in all other aspects of "retail" sales in america...and that is that the perception of "quality" will be controlled by the corporations...as it is at Wal-Mart and Target...moreso by "price point" and bottom line PROFIT MARGINS than by the sales of ANY well-crafted merchandise.
wot a mess...

I would be very bitter. I think it's fair to be compensated, fairly, as agreed upon. That's where a contract would be helpful.See and it was on the up and up. thats why its soo f'd. Dude, I lost 35 ilbs cause i couldnt afford food! I just got f'd and am little bittler thats all...
Sorry Agent O.....but the sad fact is that you are merely experiencing a change in the market as things go larger and larger and the small guy gets squeezed out. I don't know if you've noticed or not...but Colorado is now over run with weed and growers...and um...while you may THINK you have talents others don't...the fact is that there are 10 people with the same experience...or more....who are waiting in the wings to replace you.

For someone that can consistently put out buds that set a "higher" standard and can place the bar....when a door shuts another will always open!
The problem as a whole is not the MMC's and their "non caring" ways....
the problem is the patient that is willing to spend their hard earned $ on shit.
Guess what....if patients keep buying shit weed, dispensaries will continue to sell shit weed. Not only are the prices dropping but so is the quality because people are STILL buying shit weed. Let the "regulars" say no to what's on the shelves and watch the MMC's sing a different tune with the quickness!
And me being on both sides of the coin...i can honestly say there are NOT a ton of "good" growers in CO....most are cocky kids that just think they are.
im a handwatering, soil bum who likes the best. It just boiled down to greed. $$$
