I dont see why dispensaries want to rip off customers who do not assign them as their caregivers. Your advice was good , but i am trying to get these dispensaries in line. And let some of the newer marijuana smokers know that they shouldnt be paying $60 .
I patronized the place I mentioned even though I grow my own, because I cannot afford the space or the time to grow all the strains I would like to try. Prior to the advent of "medical marijuana" (and the quotes are not indicative of doubt about the efficacy of marijuana as medicine but rather the sincerity of it's proponents, vis-a-vis legalization in toto) decent pot went for a minimum of $50 per 8th. Lets add a layer of profit takers, plus employees, taxes, now licenses, lawyers, etc., etc.,etc. You see where I'm going with this? I don't see where there is a huge profit in this business at this point unless the dispensaries are growing all their own product. Even then, the total uncertainty regarding the eventual legal climate is worth a lot, i.e. lets get all our money now while the getting is good. Can you honestly say you wouldn't do the same if you thought you might be out of business at any time, based on the whim of politicians? For the effort and $ I put into my grow, I would not accept less than $250/oz for my medicine, regardless of the buyer. If I sell to a dispensary at that price, what's a fair markup? You tell me.
