North End Club 420 Raided

[jamessr]

I would like to point out here about leo claiming profit and how they can say that.

I have read some caselaw and some legal sites which leo claims that any price over what it cost to produce the drug is profit....some states allow for reimbursement for growing as a provider/caregiver...

It is this theory in which they are using here...so please stop with all the my prices are cheaper and patients deserve better than you stuff...cost of my enterprise over yours guilty statements it is very non-productive to say the least...

The key is to locate the documents in the search warrant and I.D. the infiltrator(s). Just as we did in steves raid.....get the evidence that these fools are full of meat sausage.

We have been collecting info. on the task forces since they started...1996 is a lot of years to witness them commit extortion and violate the federal hobbs act...one day the head will come about into what these folks really do...

Patients having a right to affordable medication is stupid??? cmon seriously??? if we overcharge patients then we are no better than the big pharmaceutical company that charges $30 for a pill that costs 3 cents to produce..... and no i do not know anybodies particular expenses but i do know those expenses can be kept to a bare minimum to keep prices low.. all i am saying is that prices are high and ppl wanna trip out over it cuz its their profit....sign of the unfortunate times to come...wont be long before the really sick people who cant work wont be able to get their meds.... its going to be big pharma real soon

Those '3 cent' pills don't appear out of thin air. A lot of money has been spent on research, approval, lawsuit expenses, marketing... Same deal with pot. Some providers spend money on comfortable and safe place for patients, some give away a lot of medicine, some do both, some do neither. Some get the cheapest available pot, others go for locally grown indoor lower yield varieties. I'd like to think that people can determine what constitutes good value.

I am sorry if I came off overly harsh, but you appear to not have thought out all of the factors involved. And yes, "right to affordable medication" is stupid. What's affordable? Ditch weed? Humboldt guerilla farmed weed, hydroponic weed? BC bud? Mexican? Nobody has a 'right' to others' labor at a discount. Some choose to provide charity, but access to charity isn't a right, it is a privilege. Some choose to profit, but as long as they don't force people to buy from them, that choice is between them and their god. Now, I have absolutely no idea whether NEC420 even made a net profit or if they were still offsetting initial investment, but clearly their expenses were greater than people advertising for meetings on craigslist. You seem like a reasonably nice guy with good intentions. Think about everything involved before you make accusations and insinuate things... it'll be better for everyone in the long run.

I guess you dont get it.
If the risk is HIGH, patients wont get AFFORDABLE medicine...thats why you can gloat on your 10 dollar gram price, the risk is LOW in King County...right now.

Apples to Oranges again....... explain why you feel that high risk (street dealers dont raise their prices) should equal high prices?? high risk means to me "illegal" .... I will always fight for a patient to get affordable meds..


If and when the Feds show up in your county and do a few stings until they find a slip up, the supply will dry up like the mojave desert and you will talk about the days of the 10 dollar gram......

The feds are already here and our documents are in order...(we do not break the law) Therefore there is no reason to bust us.... but im sure there is people that do not have their documents in order but them getting popped will not make me raise my prices!! imo we should be helping patients.... not helping our wallets.... you can add expenses all day easily to "justify" price... you know and i know it is all just a justification knowing that expenses can be taken way as easily as added... like i say i dont much care if ppl want to pay it i just find it apalling!!! I am sure the nec420 is a great club.. just high priced imo

Btw, Im not a dispensary or have any business with any. This is JUST my opinion and nothing else.
I do like the people at the 420 club, they are ALL patients too.

:rasta::rasta::rasta: wow didnt know i could type inside the quote....look up..lol

(we do not break the law)

Im sorry to say if you are representing yourself as a dispesary, you are breaking the law just as much as the 420 club is.

I think the real subject of the issue is not the pricing but the fact...are dispensaries legal?

I dont see pharmacies being busted because they charge higher than any one else for their pills.

So if you are operating as a dispensary, you are breaking the law as much as the 420 club was....

Its time to stick together and not fight about these damn prices...just like any other market, if people dont buy the meds because they are over priced, then they will go out of business. But if they meet a need, then they deserve a place in the market just as much as the 5 or 10 dollar a gram sellers.

I challenge you to find the word dispensary on my website... we are a private network of patients.it is not illegal for a patient to help another patient.. but whatever.... you guys are the ones who are (violently in some cases) Defensive about your prices....like i said imo its too much!!! i did NOT say they had no place in the market... but once again whatever!!! only ones fighting is you guys.. pissed off that someone else said your prices are too high....once again whatever i dont care if you like my opinion or not ... puff puff pass

[WashougalWonder]

Wow, what a surprise. Now you folks are all arguing about prices and dispensaries and coops, and all.

I first of all, hope things work out for those folks up there. Never met them. I assume the web site is down too, not looked yet.

The first concern should be for the folks that got in trouble. Regardless of the reason. 10/gram = $283 per oz. What is street price? $300? I don't know, I follow the law and grow well within the quantity of plants for myself and my patient, I haven't bought weed since 1993. Then it was $40 a quarter and only fair.

The law specifically states dispensaries are illegal... and Club420 said they were a dispensary.

This State needs a way for folks to get their medicine without the risk of buying street drugs that do not have the attention to growth that is necessary to provide really good medicine.

This whole thing is a big mess, I feel for the folks up there. Bummer

I had to clean up a piss fest in here this morning and it wasn't appreciated! I'd advise that EVERYBODY that reads this go to the link and look it over hard and heavy because from here on out infractions WILL be issued.

-- Asking for a hookup or a request for Mail Order Marijuana or anything of the related will result in an IMMEDIATE PERMANENT BAN this includes selling/asking/offering ANYTHING, including seeds, hydro,lights, grow equipment, etc etc, these are all a NO-NO

-- No Posts containing email addresses and/or the like

Likewise, if the only reason you joined this site was to be a troll and dish out insults think of this; How much time did it take you to join and post? It took me less than a minute to delete a recent trolls posts along with a permanent ban on that member. Waste your time if it's really that meaningless.

On a personal note, if some of you are so pissed off about pricing, etc. then why don't ya try to go back to living in an inbred state like I live in. There are no co-ops and if you try to do it on your own you can end up like myself with a felony on your record, jail time served, and all the fines that go along with it. If people in need don't grow their own they end up paying $400/oz on the street for "nugs" or $160/oz. for brick weed.

I'll be checking out ALL the threads/posts in the Medical Marijuana States forums on a daily basis and if this happens again don't be shocked with the results. This thread is now CLOSED!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
