I'm not sure what your growing and how much work and risk you are putting in, but for those who are growing medical grade, connoisseur grade medicine, working 100 hour weeks and for those who have been doing it for a decade or more to get less and less for increasingly better medicine, I DISAGREE. People with your attitude are going to drive out quality medicine and good farmers out of existence.Sounds like it would be a good idea.The only thing I don't really like is that dispensaries charge street/black market prices. If it's "medical" it shouldn't be so high of a cost. I know for a fact after starting to grow myself, that it doesn't cost someone $250 to grow an ounce. If it costs you $250 to grow an ounce, you don't know how to grow, shoot, I just started growing and I am noticing how little it costs. I understand costs usually include the risk, but if your in a medical marijuana state and it's state approved, why so high? I have found guys on craigslist who are trying to give the dispensaries competition and lowering prices, I thought that was good, most of the medical patients I know are disabled/poor people who cant afford insurance. Let alone high weed prices.
Really Great Post Delae! I think that gave us all a little insight and Made me think a little;)No worries man. I've just been immersed in it for a long time so it can be frustrating when people don't get what's really going on and why. I don't fault you for that at all. Just trying to get my point across as a 5x dispensary manager. There's two sides to every story and it seems like the dispensaries get the shit end of the stick because people think they're fucking everyone over for simply running a business.

No hard feelings man. I've tried to remain as cordial as possible. I think this is a good thread with valuable info (even if it's a bit off topic). ;)

Ken , not saying it's bad you know what your doing to grow good healthy outdoor meds. Some people don't...Off topic a little still;
I grow fairly good buds, cheaply, outdoors. All organic....
My wife eats the weed I grow...
I dont like it when indoor farmers assume, " If its "outdoor" it can't be "Medical Grade" :mad:
for those folks, I have this to say,
Do You grow your food indoors too? o_O
Just sayin
eta; and please dont hate me for saying that!..LOL :p

The disp owner I deal with gives it to the ones that need it ...or really cheap , very compassionate people , sticking there necks out to help others....did i say hes a veterans facility mainly...Thank you Dalae for making it available for those people..Hahaha wait...WTF? Did you just call me a business owner, a republican AND twist my words to make it seem as though I said "the poor and lazy are full of shit"? Chill out on the Faux News. You want to point political fingers then don't put spin on facts. All 3 of those statements/accusations are false.
I stated facts from years of dealing with people trying to get over on me in the disps. I have never in my life been taken advantage of more so than working in a disp. I spent years in those shops, breaking federal law, waiting to get raided or robbed at any moment only to help as many legit people as I could while on a humble salary. I've helped hundreds of "poor, lazy" people "like how you said" with discounted or free meds whenever I could. Actually, I got fired from a dispensary for giving free meds to a terminal patient who died shortly after.
There are very affordable (poor quality) but affordable meds for "patients" in any price bracket at most disps. Unfortunately some lower income patients to try to hustle the OG off the top shelf for peanuts though.o_O Do you think people go into McDonald's and try to get Big Macks for cheap or free because they're hungry? Do people on a budget go into a liquor store and try to haggle on the price of top shelf single malt scotch or just walk in and go straight for the High Life? You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
This IS a business weather you like it or not. Don't shoot the messenger...
Yeah grew one plant for 40$. Miracle grow run!! lol
Everyone in dispensaries (minus owners) is already getting paid less than 15/hr. I don see how everyone can justify the price of every single fucking thing in life going up.
Yet weed is going down and still people have something to complain about.
There are already 50$ ounces just like anything else quantity or quality.
Electricity is going up, nutrients, shipping, all other bills....
Weed needs to go back up!!!!
Have The World famous Cannabis Cafe in Portland ... been there to a smoke out ....they smelled it a block away at Mc Donalds ..LOL bet they sold alot more Big mac's

Really? :woot: Very Cool!!! Thanks Man!:D
I think cookies do well in the winter sun!;)
Theres a farmers market up in Clearlake,ca every weekend!I just returned from visiting grower friends in Northern Washington. I was able to attend the bi-weekly Tacoma Farmer's Market (actually the second time) to assist them with vending (undercover, as one must be a Washington patient in order to enter). I agree that this is the way to go, in order to eliminate price gouging by the dispensaries, and to foster self-sufficiency. Prices there range from under $100 to $220-240/zip for real top shelf, indoor; $5/gram is common. Vendors also sell edibles, concentrates, topicals and clones though not at such bargain prices. The sampling of wares is encouraged and the market space is sometimes so full of smoke it's difficult to see the other end of the room. Patients are verified at the door before being allowed to enter. Both patients and growers benefit...I would love to see this concept adopted further here in Cali!
