best way to approach dispensaries to sell product?

[budsndrums]

Also curious about this...

Also, what is the minimum increment they will consider picking up? Would they purchase just 1-2 oz?

Hi lampost - yes I sold just one ounce to a couple of places; one of those called me back a couple of days later but I had to tell them 'sorry, all gone, snooze you lose (OK not in those words)'.

Also, I guess legally you are not supposed to have more than two ounces on you at a time, but , well, you know....

oh and BTW puntacometa, like your sig - those words are coming true as we speak

He provides to his patients at $200/oz and they are pleased. Any suggestions on how he should approach dispensaries to sell his extra meds? (Free samples to dispensaries are a given) Rating: 5

The more I read this the more the dispensary model just bothers me...

They're gonna buy my 4oz @ $200/oz and then sell it at $400/oz!! We all know that's the case as most dispensaries are in the $50/eighth range ($400/oz). Just doesn't add up to me! So the dispensary gets to make the same amount of profit as the grower even though they pretty much don't do shit for work! They put the buds in a jar and wait for someone to come in and buy them...

I think I'll look a little harder before going to a dispensary and getting hosed...

That is how it goes, therefore I put a 200.00 trim on it, used to trim nice and remove all wood just for 275.00 but not anymore............what a shame huh.

That is a good idea; I think I will now keep a 'dispensary' batch and a separate well trimmed batch. If I am not going to get compensated for it, why go to all the extra trouble for a perfect trim?

lol problem is they will sell it that way too, and ultimately pass that cost on to the patient. I do agree with ya though, their prices should come down. And I'm talking about a lot more than just 5 dollars an 8th like some good ol dispensaries have done. And if their going to hype up some strain with real "medical" value, you'd think they could atleast prove to the patient that it was tested rather than having to just take their word on it. Oh well, theres others doing it right out there, I'll be supporting them if I ever run out.

I just wish people would quit taking $800 for a QP, its not like dispensaries are charging less, they are just paying less. If growers would just walk out when told they wont pay more than $800 for anything they would start paying what they should real fast. Most could give a rats ass about quality, and some wouldnt know quality if they saw it.

when this bill passes, the price is going way up. throw it in the fridge.

8 months ago, shops were paying folks I know as high as 1300-1400. In my experience, the price is not down to 800 except in the shops that carry only junk. Any shop that has offered me 8 or 9 hundred has just been laughed at. If I was throwing serious weight, lb's and such, then I'd happily come down. That said I wonder what d9 pays cause their prices are pretty low.....

A friend of mine is a vendor and one dispensary who buys from him on a regular basis flat out told him they had stocked their shelves with some low price product from California and wouldn't need anymore product at this time.

I didn't catch the name of the dispensary as I was too disgusted over the Cali purchase.

Hey Cozigzag you should find out the name so we can spread the boycott word. We need to get Cali weed out and keep this local, to support local. If they want Cali weed then they need to get the genetics and grow it here.:rastasmoke:
