I've been sounding pretty hard on dispensaries in this thread. The reality is that most that I have dealt with have been very good people and I consider some of them to be personal friends of mine. They are in business too and they have lots of expenses as well. There's nothing wrong with them trying to get the best price they can for their product. This law is the problem and I guess I need to remind myself that we are all in this together. Change, especially under these rather unreasonable time constraints, isn't going to be easy. Big grows require big cash flow. If you're doing a perpetual harvest, this makes it necessary to cash out weekly to pay your overhead. The bigger the crop, the bigger the overhead. I've also envisioned a scenario wherein the grower would wholesale part of the crop for an immediate payment and consign the rest for a larger percentage of the net retail sales. Just make sure you don't consign too much and come up short on your operating capital.
every shop i called to contract with has told me the only growers they would accept is zoned l1,l2 warehouse grow sites.they won't touch a small grow or even a big one if it is in a residential zoned area. reason was because if you contract with them you are somewhat part of the biz and those auditers will be wanting to stop by each and every off site grow area as they plz.


btw to all, if some shop offered me below 4k per i'd say if they paid all the state fees and the site/power/equipment to grow i'd take 3k per lb. and they would still make a killing.cause if you were able to grow for them as part of the 70% which thats what they will be doing with you as you would be an offsite grow for them.even if they put up 15k/20k or whatever it takes on the return of only paying 3k per lb per they would make that back first grow cycle.

casue after the state fees and equipment is paid all they would be paying would be electric and site rent. say 2k/3k per month they would have to pay.for a 10light setup.they would still be way ahead.but all that i called even mark now is only looking for growers that are already setup in a l1,l2 zoned warehouse/shop/grow area.+ pay all the state fees + pay rent,lights,nutes,equipment,have a tax id#,business lic,llc/scorp.so on all of that up front then wants you to contract with them for only 2500/3000 per.sounds like an outright your my bitch "now":S1: slap in the face to me wow.
