Thank you for all of your past posts.... you are very entertaining!
Im guessing you are either a producer, or getting some type of kickbacks from one of them.
If you honestly think it costs every cent of the 13.00$ dollars a gram price the producers are charging, cool man, I personally don't agree.
So lets say it costs 3,000.00$ to produce a pound of cannabis after all the expenses are taken into consideration, rental space, gas, security, payroll, that a producer might run into.
All the things that I do not have to deal with as a personal producer.
If they harvest 50 pounds off their 95 plants ever 4 months, the company would still be making 141,120.00$ every 4 months, charging 13.00$ a gram.
Ill repeat that.
That is still a profit of 141,120.00$ every 4 months, that is 423,600.00$ dollars a year.

John or larry? which do you preffer to go by?
When you emailed me, you signed as larry love.
Larry Love started the original Producers Guild am I not correct? who is running it now?
You do not feel that medical cannabis program is being monopolized at all with the same people on multiple boards, and 9 of the 11 producers being in the Guild?
If all the petrol companies in the world came together, do you really think this would bode well for the consumers of America? You think gas prices were high a couple years ago, Watch out!

The first year a Non Profit is licensed, I feel they should be able to charge a fair market value(which is actually a inflated black market price, due to cannabis prohibition), thus allowing them to recoup any startup costs.
After the first year, I feel NonProfits should be able to significantly lower their prices after they have recouped their initial startup costs? How do you feel about this John?

My Screen name is John Monad. My real name is Larry S. Love as you can see from the articles in The Albq Journal, Santa Fe Reporter, New Jersey Star Ledger AP News and other organizations.
you said:
"Larry Love started the original Producers Guild am I not correct?"
Answer:
As stated above in my last post it was a single meeting of applicants.

"After the first year, I feel NonProfits should be able to significantly lower their prices after they have recouped their initial startup costs? How do you feel about this John? "
Answer:
I feel good about it. I think when there are more producers and more meds available the price will go down.
Lets discuss all this on a round table? How do you feel about that ?

No mimbres valley is not my name, I thought kids gave me a hard time growing up with my name, guess things could have been worse, haha.
Honestly I am simply a medical patient here in new mexico, who has also been a patient in numerous other states, and I simply think the prices on cannabis are ridiculous. To me charging someone who is sick 13.00$ a gram, is drug dealer status in my honest opinion,
I can go down the street and get an 8th of amazing chronic imported from cali for 45.00$-50.00$ from the local drug dealer. And luckily the local drug dealer offers volume discounts, unlike the producers, so if me and my fellow medical patients did want to chip in and get lets say quarter pound, its only going to be 900.00$ dollars, thats about 600.00$ less than going through the producers.
I know with 8 years of growing experience it should not cost an average of 13.00$ a gram. after a recent meeting with some fellow patients, one of which has pancreatic cancer currently in chemo therapy,and could not afford the prices the producers are charging.
So I decided to stand up and make my voice heard and take a stand for the patients of new mexico, I could continue growing my own herb and sticking to myself, as what the producers charge has no effect whatsoever on me personally.
I have only positive motives, I am not against herb.

You asked me to identify myself so I did.
You know my real name and my screen name.
I asked you to do the same.
I invited you to a public round table discussion.
I await your answers to both.

I have always been an advocate for the patients in the NM MCP.
I am patient #343.
Because there was only 1 "unnamed" producer last year with no meds for sale until September of 2009, I put together a meeting of some of the Producer applicants to see what a group could do to move things forward.
I also lent my name as a patient to a few of the applicants who needed a patient on their boards.
I am not currently involved in the current "Producers Guild" in any way.
I also lent my name as a patient to a few of the applicants who needed a patient on their boards.
I signed up for your email list for a patients group or guild because I am a patient.
My passion and actions have always been to help the patients.
BTW the original Patients Group was setup by Paul Caulkin on the Meetup site last December. A group or groups for patients is needed.
I invite alfonso2002, MimbresValley, DemmingNP, PatientNM, coolslayer or anyone interested to have a round table discussion with me on a recorded conference call that I will post on my website as an Audio Blog for all to hear.
Contact me if interested and we can set it up for a night when convenient.
I also want to do a round table to discuss the election coming in a few weeks because if Martinez gets in we are all going to be ......
John or Larry which do you perfer I do have a dog in this fight for the patients in the NM MCP. You say
"I also lent my name as a patient to a few of the applicants who needed a patient on their boards." What does that mean?
" I am on two of the Boards of recently approved producers."
It sounds to me like you are deeply involved WITH the producers . By the way are you in any of the executive boards? It also sounds to me that DOH has paid attention With them Limiting how many boards a patient can be on. Last ? Do you receive any compensation From your position on these boards like product testing or ???
