Dispensaries already lowballing growers

[ShadySadie]

I was asked by a dispensary that wants to team up with my grow operation if I would accept $140 and oz.!! He tried to convince me that the larger groups in this vertical structure will drive prices down real low.

Any other growers getting this kind of lowball offer for meds???

ALL GROWERS PLEASE;

It is time we tell them to f off, this is insane, 250.00 is a fair price for quality aA bud, anyone disagreeing with that can kiss my ass, most are now only paying 200, and that is a joke as they sell it for way more, and do not give me the overhead bullshit, we all have it and we all work hard, at a 140 oz I can not even grow.

GIVE IT BACK TO THE PEOPLE AND THE MOM AND POP SHOPS, SCREW THE BIG DISP. ROLE MODEL

I feel that this is just the beginning, I am not a grower, just a concerned patient that is worried that so many of us will not be able to afford our medicine. I wish you growers well in the coming times, but I think it will get quite a bit worse before/if it gets better. Thanks for your hard work and good luck

LOL who told you that??

Obviously a shop run by businessmen not growers...

so many of these shops, they lobbied for the bill, cause they think it is oh so easy to grow good meds.

No self-respecting grower will associate with a place that already assumes they know how this will all turn out in practice to such an extant they already want to rape their grower. And electricity prices go up next month.

Do you get a percentage of the dispensary? I might go 200$ if they kept legal with a %.

Do NOT do it!! Part of this new bill that is killing the mom and pop places was back by big dispencaries and with big money backing trying to control and own the market "push mom and pop out". They are trying to do what wal-mart did to all the little people.

You should be concerned because if this actually does go into effect that is exactly what will happen, the price of Medicine will skyrocket.:wtf:

I agree, if all growers and patients went back to the underground it would force changes, I would rather give my meds to patients for the wholesale price I give it to disp's. for, anyone wanting that feel free to hit me up just check the contact page at klonzinc.com, my site will only be there for 30 more days then I am going to be forced to shut down. I will not contribute my time, money, or meds to a government, only patients from now on!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a few friends who have been told that the going rate is no more than 200 dollars a zip here. This is a beautiful medication that takes time, money, and effort to make, not machine made SHIT that destroys your liver. I work at a hydroponics store, and this hobby has become unreal in popularity. Unfortunately, just like everything else, it is an industry. I hate to say it, but most of the people in this industry are money-driven. Where I grow 6 little gals in a tent as a hobby, they have warehouses full of plants to make money. With the rapid popularity jump in growing, I give it 5 years before wal-mart has their own section with ballasts, nutrients, and hoods. They know where the money is.
I know every node on my girls, and truly appreciate the plant. Must be hard to do with 100+ plants in a warehouse.
With a mass of plants it's also easier to sell it cheaper. This probably isn't going to change. Sell to your patients or friends and leave the dispensaries to mass-growers. Only way you'll make anything close to what you want.

Guess I need to kiss your ass, I disagree...
250/oz might be ok for some people and for some strains but for sativas that seem to take like 6 months or more to finish (accounting for the cure time too) - 250 isn't even going to come close to covering my incurred cost & overhead!

So true. I've seen other say it but I think there is a curve of quantity grown vs. quality of herb. And at a certain point... when you get above a certain number of plants/size of operation the quality takes a hit. I think when you're growing a smaller number of plants you can really give the individual attention to each plant and get a better result.
I think this is misunderstood a lot. I even saw a dispensary post on here something about their excitement for the warehouse grows and the big money's ability to use new technology to create "high-tech" grows...:wtf: Herb has been growing for 1000s of years. High-tech?
