Do not be fooled or lied to by patients

[colagal]

First mistake was that we were too trusting. Patient says he needs a caregiver. Goes through the motions of signing change of caregiver to us (but not actually mailing as far as we know). We meet and provide him with free med samples, including free 1/2 oz as an act of faith for allowing us to be his caregiver. Never hear from him again despite repeated phone calls and e-mail attempts. Not sure what happened or if he has done this before...?

If a patient is not happy with their caregiver, for whatever reason, they should be considerate enough to let them know. Maybe something can be worked out.

Apparently some patients feel like they should get their meds for free and will unscrupulously take advantage to justify their cause no matter how misguided...?

Our thinking is, if a patient wants their meds for free, grow it yourself if you are able. We will even help you start your grow. We are not totally altruistic, but can make allowances (occasional free meds) for those who are financially challenged....just let us know in the beginning.

Palerider, you are right. We will learn how to recognize and "weed out" those mooches.

How is charging whatever the market will bear being "greety?" Sorry, if you don't like my prices, go elsewhere. If I don't like what the market is willing to pay, I'll do something else. Jeez, doesn't anybody take economics anymore? Oh, wait, obviously not, since Obama did get elected, didn't he?

this is for senorx12562, So if the market is 800 a oz that is your price or 400 a oz that is your price.KARMA is something to think about if your just want to sell meds at the market price as to sell to one at a fair price.you are a dick head.peace jazz

One of the reasons people who sell illegally charge so much is because they are taking a risk.

We intend to open a dispensary. We will operate as a non-profit and intend to sell high quality product at a price significantly BELOW street price. I agree - there is NO reason to be greedy. Dispensaries are supposed to be offering a service. I don't believe you should take advantage of the sick just because you are in a position to do so. Ethically, that totally sucks.

I am hardly a liberal moron. I don't see any reason to give anything away free either. That sets a really bad precedent. After all, the grower and seller have overhead costs too, just like any other business. I just don't think you should charge too much, because dispensaries are hardly a risky business.

I think if you operate a well-run business and charge a fair price for your product, you will have more business than you know what to do with. That is just as true for a retail business as it is for a dispensary.

Just my two cents worth.
