The big boys got the independents by the balls and they take advantage of us every day all day, but now those days will soon be over as Romers bill is going through and the small shops and independent growers will soon be gone, now the market belongs to the politicians and the Cali money hogs. It is so sad how the nice folks of Colorado welcomed the set ups from Cali and now as usually they have paid off our politicians and secured the industry for their profit and the sad thing is we let them, Coloradans have been fucked over yet again.
A few months ago, I had a dispensary owner approach me with a grower's contract for well below $800.00 per qp. This is a big dispensary chain. The rationale was that they wanted to keep prices low for their paitents. I know for a fact that they did manage to sign up a few growers because the dispensary calls me when they run out of the meds their growers provide and they offer me a higher price......and they haven't lowered the price to their patients one bit.
