So I'm wondering......does this mean that I load my crop up in a panel van, drive it to the dispensary, unload it, we cut the plant off at the base of the stalk, weigh it and then I am paid $2500.00 per lb based on 1/4 the wet weight of the entire plant, I get paid on the spot while the revenue agent with a gun watches and the dispensary becomes responsible for hanging/trimming/drying and curing?


I think I would just sit back and let the smoke clear a little here. In the first place--dispensories are required to grow 70% of their own. If you look at the economics of that--meaning they will have to hire employees-or refer to growers as employees-meaning fica payroll taxes--unemployment insurance--workman's compensation insurance--etc.--plus the economics of growing a plant which is very expensive---and now state license fees- local fees, etc.--it's not to hard to see that the price per oz. is going to dramatically rise.

To add--many dispensory owners are little concerned (the 100 plant) that the feds may enforce.
