money being made but it gets well dispersed for the risks being taken.
oh make no mistake my brotha, its like that all over from sacramento, thru marysville/yuba city, all the way up thru redding, and to the oregon border. from the nevada border all the way to the water.

MOGREEN,

you dont have to come by and buy from me, there are literally hundreds of people from my place to sacramento and everywere in between that you can buy it cheaply, and get the same quality as you get from those shops. i know of one guy that lives in my county that has 15 different strains all the time, and he has some of the BEST stuff ive EVER seen in california, for about HALF of what those shops charge. i thought about opening up a shop. i own my own properties, shop space,ect, but like i said, i have a conscience, and really cant see making money off of someone else pain, as i know how i feel everytime i have to go to the pharmacy and pay over $3k a month for my pain meds from them, especially when it probably doesnt cost the pharmaceutical company pennies to make it.


like i said, my whole point to this is that when you do the math, these dispensaries are NOT paying even a small percentage of what they rake in each week/month/year out in expenses. if a dispensary can show me that they pay as much as they are making in legit expenses, ill be the first one to get on here and post it and eat my own words, but they cant. i worked in managment for a large retail store that made literally millions a month, and even with multiple employees, utilities, store insurance as well as health and dental, the stores operating expenses didnt even come CLOSE to $50K+ a month.

ill virtually GUARANTEE as long as these guys are making money like they are, the counties are not going to cut them any slack whatsoever. all they see is the thousands of legal ( and illegal) dollars that run thru these places each week, and wonder where their shares at. i wonder how many of these shops started out in the 80s and 90s selling mexican dirt weed on florin rd either next to AM/PM or 7-11...LOL!

another thing ill guarantee. the anti-MMJ people will eventually shut most of them down because of it. why in the world do you think that there are so many "pro" AB390 people in our government now?...its not because they are "compassionate" to the plyte of the working man with health problems, its because they see BIG dollar signs. if one small shops making $50K+ a month, what do you think the shop whos selling 5lbs a weeks making?..or 10lbs a week?....thats literally a fortune for the state in just taxes alone......
ShastaCoMan Reviewed by ShastaCoMan on . Don't let the Sacramento City Council shut down dispensaries!!! The City of Sacramento wants to limit the number or shut down medical marijuana dispensaries!! The patients in Sacramento need to unite and let the city council know that we will not stand for this.
