I recently found out that The Grow Stores owner (the ones located on federal and colfax) was upset with his lack of profit and teamed up with Hydrofarm to track down his theoretical losses. They found out that resourceful growers were using their connections to order their equipment through garden distribution centers and the like in a completely legal manner. The Grow Store owner ( lets refer to him as Douchy McDoucherstien from now out for ease) was upset that his wall of 400% markup ballasts that was disapearing at an alarming rate wasn't quite going fast enough. I'm talking about selling 400+ ballasts a month and tripling his initial investment. Dont get me wrong. I love to see Capitalism in action, its a disgustingly beautiful thing. The problem is that Douchy McDoucherstien went to hydrofarm to point out that many of the people using the garden centers were using them to supply a garden of an illicitly delicious nature I.E. MMJ growing. He somehow failed to mention that his resourceful institutions have somehow cornered that market through the use of a profound lack of knowledge and his employees affinity for Methamphetamines( how else do they get so shady looking?) Its interesting to me that a store that has been around for it seems like ever is having problems with its gross sales. I wonder if its due to the fact that he taxes the shit out of the consumer while selling the consumer a product supposedly designed for indoor hydroponic tomato growing. Have you seen the tomatoes grown in there store? Besides being infested with spider mites ( "Oh, This bottle of Azatrol at 109.99$ + tax will definetely cure that! MSRP being 106.95$ Price to Douchy being less then $70 Trust me i have his distrubution prices) they look like the retarded baby that would come out of the prom queen and kings consumation of their love, in the back of a Kia, after drinking Mad Dogg 20/20 through the course of her pregnancy. The worst part about it is that Hydrofarm is playing the part of the cliche' dumb older football playing brother, protecting poor Douchy McDoucherstien's precious precious profits. Is this the Communist threat that Joseph McCarthy spoke so scarily about? It seems that if other distrubution centers are fine with selling more product at a reduced price, then they should naturally pull ahead of the capitalistic curve ( Reference McDonalds slightly less then meat Hamburgers and their domination). Hydrofarm sites not wanting to "provide a legal avenue to fund production of illegal substances". Hmmmmmmm, did Romer's Bill include something about MMJ in Colorado once again being illegal? Does Douchy McDoucherstien have an uncanny ability to be able to know which persons using for "illegal" grows and which one is not? If he has, congratulations! Hes smarter then the FBI DEA and CIA combined and should definetely get a job from them locating all these terrorists in the mist.
I hope people realize that both of these companies are participating in illegally blocking a small companies or individuals right to free trade and procurement of product. Does that mean that i shouldn't give medicine to a cancer patient for cheaper to meet their struggling needs? Should I make them go to the streets for medicine because "the streets" have been here longer?
What about everyone thats griping about prices of medicine being to high? I can tell you that anyone looking to start growing is now gonna have an initial start up cost that will be at least 2 to 3 times more expensive through Douchy McDoucherstiens establishment then through a garden center's wholesale. Hmmmmmmmmm, I wonder who that cost will be passed onto? If you want to really start attacking the price of MMJ I would highly recommend looking at the starting point of taxation and to me its seems to be blowing out Douchy's ass along with the rest of the smoke.
Example:
Xtrasun 1000w Convertible Ballast Sku BAC100A:
Douchy:$237.00
Hydrofarm MSRP: $209.95
Wholesale:$106.92
Wow! $20 + dollars over MSRP. You go Douche! Hopefully that extra money will go towards making your workers even sketchier, slower, and stupider.
I guess I'm thick, but I can't figure out what the hell you are talking about. This store owner went to Hydrofarm to get them to do what? And that affects us how?

(not bad, coming from a conservative capitalist, eh ?) :smokin:
Well, unfortunaly for every 1 grower there is 100 people who arent growing... dispensaries are a much needed enitity in this universe, and by the way i give away 8-20 ounces a month FREE.....so dont for a minute point the greed finger at me.

Went to a place today in breck. They had "Asteroid" kush for $75 an eighth plus tax. How is that medical? It looked and smelled really good, but that is just unaffordable, and profiteering. They also had a security "guy" and cameras. Their selection was nice. But $75 an eighth is a joke. I pay $75 a quarter from my caregiver. The guy had the nerve to ask me to make him my caregiver, and get a price break. Why would i make someone my caregiver who is trying to charge me $75 an eighth otherwise? Not a good strategy. I think if you give people good deals all the time, they are more likely to make someone their caregiver. They did give me a free gram for being a first time patient, and had a really nice selection and nice strains. But $75 an eighth is crazy!

Please explain to me the relationship between "medical" and price, keeping in mind that I just got a bill for $20,000.00 for my son's broken clavicle. Are you fucking insane? In fact, please explain to me the relationship between "medical" marijuana and ANYTHING other than a legal definition based totally upon whether the consumer went and lied to a doctor to get a recommendation. It has NOTHING to do with reality. Cannabis is cannabis. There is no such thing as "medical" marijuana, any more than there is such a thing as "affordable" housing. You're a putz.

I just think medical marijuana should be affordable. How can someone take a medicine that is unaffordable. My quality of life would significantly improve if all of my money wasnt spent on medicine. A bottle of aspirin doesnt cost $50. I have $10,000 in hopital bills, so i know that hospitals aint cheap.
I understand why black market drugs cost $50 an eighth. Legal medicine that grows out of dirt, shouldnt cost so much.
SenorX, if you dont understand where im coming from, you are the putz. And so is anyone that charges or pays $75 an eighth for "medical" marijuana.
In my opinion, medical marijuana should be affordable to the patient. We shouldnt have to pay heroin prices.

You DON"T "have to" pay "heroin prices" or any other price you don't want to. And if enough people chose not to pay the $75 these people want, I assure you the price would come down, or the product would become unavailable. That's the way the market works.
Are you suggesting that no one should be "allowed" to charge prices you think are too high, just because it's "medicine?" They GAVE YOU FREE WEED, FERCHRISAKES, ( oh, sorry, "medicine") What exactly are you complaining about? They should sell their product for whatever the market will bear. What a whiner.

Simple....When you are at the dispensary buy "lower grade"meds ! Please either grow your own or lower your standards.
I really think if you grew your own ....once...you might understand why prices are as they are:smokin:

I don't quite understand your logic. Growing is easy. Takes in reality, not much time to tend to (depending on which process you're using) and as he's stated $75 an eighth is $600 an ounce. Say you grow 4 plants for 3 months (1 month veg, 2 month flower) and you already have all the gear you need (lights, pots, etc.). You yield possibly 2 ounces a plant (total = 8 ounces). That's $600 an ounce x 8 =$4800 for 3 months of hardly any work. Most definitely can be done while working full time and can be done many times during the year.
I just don't understand. How is growing marijuana worth that much? And that's only one grow, with 4 plants. IMO no marijuana strain is worth that kind of money. NONE. :wtf:

Im just saying that im not paying $75. I think its ludarchris to charge that much. Anyone who pays that much is an idiot, or rich. Its just a plant, not an iphone. I know how the market works, i have been running my own restaurant for 6 years. I know if i tried to sell a pizza for $75, my customers would laugh and go down the street. I also take pride in having the best, and cheapest pizza in town, delivered hot to your door. We are in a deprression right now, and i am trying to give back to the community by providing affordable food, and not trying to gouge people.

Thats my mentality. It only costs $50 an eighth because it was illlegal. More people are going to start growing, see how easy it is, and then the prices will drop to $100 an ounce.

Then don't bore us with your whining. Buy it or don't. You want a Porsche at Chevy prices. I want a Ferrari for free. Ain't gonna happen, but at least I don't complain about it. Grow up.

I believe its "ludacris". LMAO!
Just grow bro. Get started for what you'd pay for an oz and put these crooks out of business! Anyone who gives up caregiver rights to a dispensary is not thinking.

Get off my dick.
Im tired of people selling chevy's at porsche prices. I get top quaility meds for $40, im calling out greedy people trying to charge $75. I dont want other people getting ripped off.
Im tired of you following me around. If you want to pay high prices, or defend people that do, you are an idiot.
You are the one stupid enough to go to the worlds best grower seminar.
Medical Marijuana is a Joke!
Oh, gee I'm sorry. You caught me following you around. How did you find me out? You sure have an inflated sense of your own importance. And you correctly identified me as a dumbass too. Very impressive. Your pretty obsessed with your dick, too. Congrats on the trifecta. I bow to your obvious superiority.

Here is the definition of "medical" marijuana
Medical Marijuana: The emerging science of applying marijuana's beneficial side effects to an individual patient's needs while minimizing the undesirable side effects on that patient's life.
One of the most undesirable side affects for me is being broke all the time. As a matter of fact, its the only undesirable side affect. In order to minimize the undesirable side effect of being broke all the time, I need to find good quality medicine at an affordable price. I smoke 2-3 grams a day. If i could get down to spending $10-$20 a day, my quality of life would go up. Doesnt matter, because now I am legal to grow my own for free, and provide affordable medicine for my friends. Just a matter of time, and space.
You just got owned

Everyone loves to villify the dispensary owner like were all making millions of dollars....but hell, 99% of my patients drive a nicer car then me....
The reason you may be treated the way you do, is because the majority of patients out here are very new to strain names and indica/sativa dominant hybrids and sometimes need a little extra help finding what suits them best. Ive lost three friends to this fight and they are my driving force to ensure that people like themselfs need not suffer when access is so readily available. Im not a doctor or a scientist, im a cannabis cultivator who comes from a place of caring.
Have a great wednesday fellas, life is meant to be enjoyed!!!
-Bryan.:jointsmile:
Your shop is actually my favorite right now, and one of the only 4 or 5 that i will actually go into. I can see that you care, it is evident in your product and personality. I have told my friends in Denver about your place and they LOVE IT! I had fun scratching with Blake too. Too bad shops like yours are few and far between. I wish the best to CCF, and hope you guys have a long and prosperous venture.

Ouch. If you knew me, you would know that i am that last person asking for charity. I bust my ass at work, and have always been a hard worker. I have been paying $300 an oz for organic sour diesel and durban for 5 years. I figured now the medical industry in Colorado is booming, and there are tons of LEGAL growers out there, that prices would drop. I spend around $600 a month on medecine, thats almost as much as my rent. I could easily smoke twice that too.
The problem with most dispensaries is that they dont grow their own. You shouldnt even have a dispensary if you dont grow a lot of good medecine. . If i was buying a pound of weed, i would want a good break too. 4k doesnt sound low at all, even for the best organic strains of medicine. 4k is a lot of cash to spend at once. I work at a pizza restaurant and we dont even spend 4k a week on food right now. We usually charge 3 to 4 times what we pay for food. If a large pizza costs $2.00 in food, we sell it for $10.00. That is what a dispensary that doesnt grow their own would need to do if they want to make a profit.
Marijuana is about to be completely legal. I never thought i would see that happen in my lifetime, but right now, i believe it will. Then it shouldnt cost anymore than any other plant or vegetable. I cant wait until i have the space to grow my own. After having a felony conviction for distribution of marijuana, i didnt think i would ever want to risk growing. Now, 5 years later, i got my medical card, and the felony is dropped off my record. I cant wait untill i have the space to grow my own medicine legally. Then i can just trade it with my friends, or sell them quarters for $50 like the good ol days.
