I met Mr. Green a week or so ago at a meeting between producers here in WA and all I can say is that guy is a total tool:-/ He would not allow anyone else to speak, interrupted anyone that tried as though what he had to say was the only thing anyone should listen to and finally was ejected from the meeting by the building owner. Seriously...I would not do business with him if he had the last dollar on the planet. Word around the state is that he is very over-extended but that is rumor and I have no idea at all if that is true or not. One of his "employee's" applied for a retail license that is right next door to Kouchlock. They sent out an email to all growers that could possibly have been in production long enough to have product for the retail opening, us included, saying they would purchase all the product available at 15% above market value...what ever they determined that to be and that their retail store would be the first licensed in the state too. Unfortunately they did not let the Liquor Control Board in on that fact and their retail shop is not in the first 24 licensed so they cannot even purchase any product from anyone regardless of any verbal or written agreements because until you are licensed it is illegal to buy or sell anything.
Anyway......he got the first license in the state to grow just to flip the damned thing! I have to dislike him on that alone:-/
