Id rather just hit the lotto and burn hooters all the time truth be told.Its the American public that supports walmart. Its not the evil corporation who makes you shop there, its the uneducated public who wants to save five cents by buying an inferior imported product.
I agree wholeheartedly just remember its that same american public that shops at MMC's too!
We are talking about a pretty specialized product here.
Its no different then the choice of buying coors or something from new Belgium.
Love me some new belgium,Fat tires in the fridge now!But coors could own their ass in an instant if they so desired.
When growing a plant such as a cannabis too there is no guarantee on production. Big Pharma could set up shop, but what happens when they get grey mold all over their crop? And need to salvage 2 tons of finished product. Its not like they can rely on outside vendors in this state.
Its not like they will go broke either,unlike you and i they can absorb the loss no problem,hell its a write off!
and just for reference walmart only has like a 9% market share
and anyway a lot of this talk is about retail business anyway.
only a 9% market share?That sucks the owners must be going broke,poor walton's...
Do you want to own a shoe store? or a 711? any store in the mall?
I think there have been a lot of things overlooked by a lot of people in this thread. First and foremost is the idea that all MMJ dispensaries are only selling flowers. The most successful and profitable dispensaries are selling edibles, drinks, and most importantly clones. So if you are running a dispensary and only selling flowers and hash, you are bound to fail.
I think a relatively decent grow after all equipment is paid off and not part of the overhead can produce a lb for about (nutes space, labor, electric) $150, then figure another $250 to trim it.
It seems many had no idea what they were getting into, business wise, or the simple fact that you are dealing with living things that can get sick, pests, and die with out any real reason.
On a bit of a side note, caregiverken, I think you highly underestimate how much of a mark up you are paying on everyday items. Places like Wal-mart, K-mart and even your grocery store have huge mark-ups on the products they sell. It may not seem like there is that much of a mark-up on a $10 t-shirt but it is probably marked up almost 100%. The lower the price you pay the more likely it has a high mark-up. I have friends who own a head shop and everything in there is marked up 50-100%, they are making significantly less than other businesses around them and are still doing pretty well; not BMW driving well but good enough. So next time you think that your MJ is being marked up too much think about what the mark-up on the rest of the stuff you buy really is.
Cannabis Goodies could and maybe should be sold Farmers Market style Just like fruits and veggies. :)
maybe some day

That's kind of what Harborside does... and they still mark up their meds well over 100%. They buy for $3k/lb and sell for $60/eighth, which is $7680/lb. You can get good stuff at farmers markets but you generally pay as much as anywhere else.
This is about feeling sorry for all the dispensary owners that didn't make a million dollars after they threw everybody else under the bus in the name of profit.
