Ripped off by a co-op

[lunarose]

You know what I hate more then being ripped off is being ripped off due to my own stupidity! Donâ??t let this happen to you.

I am not going to name the co-op where this happened at, I feel I was ripped off as much from their dishonesty as my own stupidity and to get bogged down talking about a specific co-op would defeat my purpose. We all need to be careful consumers.

So I went to a co-op that has a ton of good comments from patients a solid reputation and where I have been happy with in the past. On the last visit there was a screw up I was charged the regular price instead of the special. I PMâ??d them they were nice and said to bring the receipt on my next visit and theyâ??d make good. Shit happens to all of us and I was happy to let it slide. Finances being what they are and needing approximately 2 ounces a month I usually buy the less expensive strains. When I got there they were sold out of the lower end strains, it happens. So I asked for shake which they had. The bud tender listed different strains of shake at different prices per gram. Okay I am mathematically challenged if you could be dyslexic with numbers then thatâ??s me there is no way I am going to be able to do the math in my head so I ask for the per ounce price I got a blank stare and he repeats the per gram price. Idiot that I am I asked him to give me $440.00 worth of shake. He then happily pulls out his calculator measures it out and bags it up. I get home and look at the receipt and see that he gave me 25g of one strain and 6g of anotherâ?¦.remember this is all shake it even saids so on the receipt and at home looking at their menu with calculator in hand I discovered that they charged me exactly the same rate per gram for shake tahoe as they charge for regular tahoe. I know I am an idiot! I am going to be kicking myself over this for a long time. And I am going to have to figure out how to stretch what I usually need in two weeks to four.

So friends be careful. Compassion, Care, and Love are all great words and I know many care but they are businesses with bottom lines. Never takes things for granted.

Peace

Hi and thanks for the sympathy I do feel like a total idiot and at my age I should have known better.

WH I do grow my own but I grow outside so I still have another 8-12 weeks until harvest,

The wife of the co-op owner knows what went down but the bottom line is that it was my own fault I know how I am I know I tend to get stressed out driving the hour to get to the co op. That is why I am not naming the co-op because the worse I can say is that for shake they have high prices.

Live and learn and find a new co-op for when I need to supplement my grow.

[Weedhound]

Yeah you DO have awhile until harvest. I didn't even know co ops SOLD shake but I guess it makes sense. Some shake has a lot of broken off trichs in it so it's not always a bad thing.

Ouch though, anyway.

first i gotta say, i am grateful that there are dispensaries for us to get the meds, but with that being said, i feel ripped off every time i go to get some MMJ. yesterday i went for the second time and picked up a 1/4 of "master kush". it's pretty good ( i'm no expert), but doesn't knock you on your ass. for 145 for a 1/4, i kind of expect more. that's 580 per OZ! yikes!!!

i'm not connected to the drug culture, but have smoked with others that pay 300 per OZ on the black market, and that weed was just as good, at half the price. i have one friend who gets really cheap (50 per OZ) mexican dirt weed. tastes and looks like crap, but gets the job done as good as the 65 per 1/8 indica i bought at a disp. you could actually even buy health insurance with the left over money(or a house payment in the latter case).

am i the only one who looks at it this way?

[silkyblue]

i'm not connected to the drug culture, but

I aint either

roflmbo!!


thats like saying ya "hope there aint no heaven
and ya pray there ain no hell"

puff with care


oh the pain (

$145.00 a QT OZ I thought that they were compassionate!!! They should were bandannas when they serve you because they only pay 4,000 a Pound max I'm told... WTF Go Black Market Before Dispensary... Why support the heavy pric of them... Were I live It is very expensive for those who have 2 pay but at least you get what you pay for... There is not delivery services BLACK MARKET guy's that deliver? We have over 30 of them in the City!!! They are raking in the cash w/ very little overhead... Well better luck next time Sorry for your Mishap GL1
