How much do you think most caregivers give away? A gram or 2? You must not be a caregiver or ever look on craigslist, an ounce a month seems to be the normal amount given to a patient from their caregiver, dispensaries in general give 1/8-1/4 a month to members. I've seen co-op ad's advertising 2 ounces a month free for members. Anyways, its pretty logical to assume a caregiver flowering three plants can afford to give a percentage of just one out of those three plants in flower to the patient that gave the caregiver the right to grow them in the first place. lol
FYI to Jim and his wife, take Highpopalorum's above post with a big grain of salt. There are plenty of caregivers out there willing to give an ounce a month, me being one of them, unfortunately I can't take on anymore patients. I have patients that need less than an ounce a month and they do not have to pay a single penny for their medicine with me as their caregiver. And other patients that need up to 4 ounces every month. I didn't just decide out of nowhere an ounce a month is what I give my patients, I did plenty of research and went with the same amount most caregivers I could find we're offering. There are several caregivers right now posting on craigslist offering $200 an ounce if their patients need more than their free ounce a month. I don't think it will ever get better than that :D

yea, a z / month is what I give to patients. I am going to give organics a shot, so I'm a little worried about the math going forward.
extra ounces for patients are cheap, and depend on the strain. of course, in the big scheme of things, I lose money at what I do. and that's okay...

Still think its an intro incentive grfxdsnr? :D Depending on how much medication you two need, you might decide you're better off having a caregiver than spending an easy grand or more yourself on a small, quality grow and flower room. By the way HighPopalorum you have a really amusing name, is that a product you used back in the day? :rastasmoke:

Wow! Thanks for the info! So, tell me how this caregiver thing works. Do you ever run out? Do you deliver? Do you grow the plants for your patient? Can a patient go to a "store" if your out? And if Jim finds a strain he likes can you grow that for him?

most caregivers plan things so they never run out, ie harvest every month or couple weeks. I answered most of you're questions in the previous posts, some caregivers deliver, and some will grow multiple strains for their patient.

I cant even believe that this is a question that is being debated. Sante Fe and Green chile are the only up NM has on CO and thankfully one of those can be imported...

Heh. High Popalorum is from a colorful Southern figure of speech popularized by Louisiana Governor Huey Long in the 1930s:
Quote:
When ??The Kingfish? was asked to give a comparison of the Republican and Democratic Parties, he would tell the story about a traveling salesman who offered two patent medicines. One was ??High Popalorum,? which was taken from the bark of a tree from the top down. The other tonic was ??Low Popahirum,? which was taken from the bark of a tree from the bottom up. Governor Long said, ??The only difference I??ve found in Congress between the Republican and Democratic leadership is that one of them is skinning us from the ankle up and the other from the ear down.?
But it's a great forum name, and is as appropriate with regard to the current set of pols as it was when Long first used it. When next I grow from clones, one of them is going to be High Popalorum (harvested from the top down) and the other is going to be Low Popahirum. (harvested from the bottom up) I have a feeling they'll be totally different!

Interesting idea. I hope, for your sake, that your bud turns out better than the current "crop" of politicians that are running this circus we call America.
All those guys are idiots and leave my head thumping. ;)

Hi all, I suppose I have been looking in the wrong place. I have heard of caregivers offering up to 1 ounce per month free for the caregiver status, but as far a actually finding one....nada. I must be looking at the other Craigslist.
