[BullwinkleOG]

I believe that documentary is about 3 or 4 years old cuz that was out door and youll never get in 2011/12 again unless they are scrubs.

The dude that was getting 4k wasn't growing outdoor, they showed his op and it's inside. On one of the last episodes they wouldn't buy his weed because it was infested with mites or pm or something.

 

[mastergreen]

2800-3200 at my local dispensary. But they will go as high as 3400 if it is amazing. That bud is sold for $60 an 1/8th. I'd take that $500 outdoor and make oil out it all day. Clubs will pay $30 a gram cash all day for amber glass made from outdoor buds. So if you get 50 grams from an lb.... $1500. And that is a conservative estimate.

What's goin on guys. Kind of a long read, but i'd appreciate big time if you read it. Just wanted to thank you all for what you guys do. Im 21, I was diagnosed at 14 with Degenerative Shoulder/Bone Disease. I started getting prescribed painkillers at 14 for this painful condition which causes me to wear a straight-jacket to bed every night to prevent dislocations. If you look at me & meet me; you'd never think I had such a serious condition. I look like a regular kid, until I show you the massive scars going through each shoulder from 4 failed shoulder-surgeries. I have seen 8 surgeons this past 4 months; every single 1 of them was cringing & could NOT believe my 6 page MRI/Catscan. A Genetic Shoulder specialist from University of Berkeley walked into the room with a disturbing-interested-smirk on his face & his exact words were "My friend, I have never seen a more disturbing MRI/Catscan in my whole 49 year career. This is something you have to live with. I am sorry". I have had over 1000 dislocations & am now 75% paralyzed in my right shoulder/arm & 50% in my left arm/shoulder. I was reading about some people saying how "Medical cannabis is just an excuse for pure recreational use". This is literally the only thing that lets me live a SEMI-normal-life-SEMI-pain-free & most importantly; a NON-addicted life free from opiates Doctors try to shove down my throat. I have constant nerve pain (as I type, I can barely reach the keyboard). The MMJ Doctor said to me "Besides somebody with a dying condition like cancer, or somebody with no limbs, you are 1 of the only people I have seen that truly need cannabis". I was taken back when she said that! Anyways, since I'm new to this site (not to cannabis forums what so ever though) I just wanted to share my story. My question is, I moved from the east-coast exactly a year ago (Well, about, last June). The second I landed I had my MMJ Appt 1 hour later, then was at the dispensary 2 hours later. Since my condition is so severe & I stopped taking painkillers since I came out here my cannabis intake has gone up quadruple-fold, therefor I can not be wasting the small amount of money I do have on ounces & bullshit dispensary prices. I was walking out of a dispensary around September of October of 2011 after I asked the dispensary if they would do a price cut if; the asshole denied me and said it's whatever the price is, up. That dickhead with pinned out eyes who was for sure a drug addict lost out on 2000$. No wonder his Dispensary got closed. As I'm walking out, an older dude follows me to my car (I was with my mom because I can't drive cause of these fucked shoulders, I'm just a 21 year old college kid living at home, just my mom me and my sister) & he knocked on the window & said "Heard what you said and about your condition my man, that sucks, I can help you out buddy, Humboldt dank." He hopped in the backseat and pulled out like 4 P's of Cheese & Grape Ape. I almost shit my pants with excitement since I don't hang out with many people besides my family (I have major trust issues with people, & ever since I moved out to Cali I promised myself I wouldn't surround myself with sketchy people so I can keep a good reputation, as I am not built for jail what so ever man, just a 21 year old whiteboy mommas boy, not afraid to admit it). I ended up donating him 2000$ for a P of the most bombest boutique Cheese & Grape Ape (got a half of each.) 2000$ was a price i'd pay all day for this. Every single gram of that P went into my lungs, on my mothers life I do not sell at all. I wouldn't sell if somebody offered me 100$ for a gram, I'm not built for trouble. I had my days when I was younger back East, the "game" isn't for me, that is why I respect all of you, there is a lot of fuckin pieces of shit these days in the world. I think theres a lot more "love" out here though in the West opposed to the East. Anyway, after I finished medicating that P (its so nice to not have to worry about running out when you are in the kind of pain I am in..this is the only thing that gets rid of the nerve-side of the pain). I ended up going through him a couple more times, he was an amazing Caregiver. I go to call him a month ago; him and his wifes phone are out of service. My heart dropped. They must of been growing over the limit over in Humboldt & got busted. Im pretty positive they were over the limit too. Now that they are gone, my fuckin Caregiver is gone so I was forced to pay Dispensary forced. Luckily, my mom & I met some other older Caregivers. It's Outdoors though. My question is, I got a P of outdoors for 1000$. Is that a ripoff for outdoors? Any input is appreciated. Again, thanks for doing what you do, because this medicine that you people are putting on the market literally lets me live a semi-normal life with the pain I go through, since I do not have the option to grow even though I can legally because my family can not afford the light bill. Rough time in life man.

 

[NorCalPiffery]

Haha, wow, as a 21 year old with serious Medical conditions; it would be a cold day in Hell before I ever payed 3000$ for a P. Do you guys consider who you are donating the medicine too , though? Like for example, if you were donating to somebody like me, do you guys donate it for cheaper than you would to a club? I know that 2000$ Grape Ape & Cheese was being sold to Clubs by him for 3000-3500$. Maybe I just got used to dirt-cheap Humboldt prices from him; but some of these prices look fuckin' ridiculous!

Yup, 28-32 for quality indoor flowers and 30/g for good oil is what the dispensaries are paying in my area too right now. There are a lot of lowballers slinging outdoor as top shelf to wade through though.

 

[treebark1950]

I see 25-30 is the norm because of the flooded market. If you just walk in as a vendor your going to hear 22-25 most likely. I hear of ppl getting more but its because they have known that person for a long time. My last run was 29 but only because I got lucky with some owners.

I wish I knew some of the peeps you do. I am up in humboldt and can't finad anyone to take my quality indoor organic meds off my hands.

^^^^ LOL NIce first post dude.
Pity yourself or get on the road and meet some people, growing is only half the battle...

That's why I started questioning my own presence in humboldt, you can grow all you like up there but unless you have a solid connect to get rid of pounds a week to all the college kids you have to drive 5 hours minimum to sell it. Running the gauntlet of 101, 36 or 297 each time. In hindsight I should have stayed, as should you, because humboldt is awesome. Thought I could set up shop elsewhere in cali and do the same as I was doing but realized quickly, it wasn't the same. Best bet would be to get friends with scripts to ride with you on sales runs, up to 3 lbs each on board.

Wrong. I dont know a single college kid. And the same rule follows here thats always been here. If you grow the true AAA dank, then it will sell. Quickly. Every time I see a Humboldt local holdin onto their herb past cure, its because its subpar. 32-34 in town is norm for top shelf genetics grown to potential.

And the 3lb allotment is only good for Humboldt. Once you leave the county, you're on the terms of that county.

 

[dankworth]

What about, um, kind of less uh, small amounts?
Can anybody quote Cali figures?
Like if someone didn't want to go to a dozen dispensaries for example?
Don't talk about how many, just how much per, por favor.

 

[KitsapGrapeApe]

in washinton the collectives lowball the shit out of you, the patients are uneducated, the big thing here is $1o a gram, well the shops don't want to pay more then 24 if you're luckuy, they don't care they're all getting cali and oregon reject meds for 2 and under and the patients take it and don't know any better.

 

[fractal]

Hey DR that is news to me. I would have thought by now pounds in the triangle would be 2 grandmaybe 25. I been away 2 years now, when i was there i was still getting 36-38 for chem, sour D and blockhead. I guess you do have the local brokers snagging up everyone's pounds and driving them somewhere eh? Didn't think of that. Ahhhhhhhh humboldt. I would give both my testicles to be back there right now, with deed and title to a pad and a garden running. After what i been through last year I wouldn't really miss my testicles much. You can still bang chicks without nuts, you just don't get overwhelmed by your libido. As it should be.

 

[dankworth]

I overwhelm chicks with my libido.
I need my testicles for that.
I am going to dress my girl up like Nancy Pelosi.
What.

 

[GanjaAL]

Sorry guys but here in cali... you can only have 8 zones on you at a time per person with a rec. This is standard even though the courts did away with limits.... you still have to prove the medical need to have more than that on hand. Just a note.
