Increased overhead you say. OK, now they pay taxes on their non-profit? They even insure their weed? You think only co-op drug dealers need lawyers, but not regular dealers? Are you serious?

Cigarettes cost less than $1 per pack to produce.
If you want proof, go to Korea or Mexico where American made products are imported there, and still sold for less than $2 per pack.

Weed grows basically the same way.

Dealers can make $500,000 a year from ONE garage with ONE person doing all the work. This is a fact. There are people in California doing this right now. I'm sure people here too. This is after all their costs (a few grand in lights, dirt and electricity)

It's hard to argue that their labor is worth $500,000 per year.

Outdoors - OK, you have to get sticks to support the plants and some other equipment. Sorry I said it's basically free, it does cost a few cents per gram.

Obviously you'd like to argue it, but if you look at the numbers, you'll see it does not cost more than $2 a gram to grow it indoor or out.
Yeah, it might take some skill to stick seeds in the ground the 1st time.
Just like it takes some skill to grow tomatoes.
After you've done it once though, it's easy and cheap to clone and repeat.

Watch your mother slowly die from cancer, or your best friend from Chroms, while you are spending $20,000 a year to keep them comfortable before their inevitable death.
After that, come back on here and defend these humanitarian non-profits that are 'helping' dying patients.
seattlegreens Reviewed by seattlegreens on . Medical 'donations' Recently my caregiver stopped growing. I contacted a couple dispensaries in the area to see what 'recommended donations' would be. To my horror, I have found that they all charge as much or more than those doing it totally illegally. How is it that criminals and street dealers charge for example $10 a gram, making large profits... and then these co-ops claim they are helping the community, only volunteering or taking donations to cover their expenses? Dispensaries have an economy Rating: 5
