I have to comment after reading through all of the inquiries about the price of medicine - something that isn't taken in to account is that, yes, us as dispensary owners do this for a living and in order to sustain that, we need to profit. However, all of the hype about dispensaries pulling in ridiculous profits may have existed when there were only a dozen or less in the state often touting their best week's business and the total patients that ever visited their location. While there are MANY shady operations out there, there are a few of us that are working as hard as we can (easy 70+ hour weeks for me) to make your experience as easy, safe, clean, and professional as possible. Keep in mind the fixed expenses that your street dealer didn't have to pay worker's comp, rent, advertising, insurance, taxes, etc (I don't think I need to go on with the list). I only say this as I see how many people are upset at the price of meds - hopefully the black market won't drive the prices as they have - but I assure you, and we're proof as we had to start at $60-$70 per eighth and recently dropped to $55-$65 (this is before Caregiver 10% discounts), that it will come down. The cost of business does exist and must be covered, otherwise, there won't be any dispensaries and unfortunately with the new licensing and channels the gov't is working on, we'll have a harder time bringing it down. I know, for one, that we're working our tail off to provide the best possible meds at the best possible price - and importantly we hand it down to our patients.

All the best people! Have a great New Year! -S
I have to comment back. Street dealers didnt have to pay sales tax, workmens comp, insurance, but you dont have to worry about going to JAIL. Do you know how much bail, lawyers fee, probation cost? Do you know how much it sucks to quit smoking for a year and having piss in a cup once a week? You are doing this LEALLY! The reason street dealers charged $50 is because they could lose their "FREEDOM", which you cant put a price tag on. Weed is plant that grows easily, it should be cheap. If you grew your own for the dispensary, you would make a lot more $$ and be able to charge a lot less. To me, Just the fact that it is legal know, means the price should drop at least %50. More and more people are gonna start growing their own, and there will be less need for dispensaries. Why go to a dispensary and pay $60 and eighth, when you can just call up a buddy and get one for $40. Or just buy a light for $400 and grow you own for free?
