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.
I've talked to many dispensaries and have found the same thing... NONE of them will associate with growers now unless they are in industrial zoned building, LLC, etc. Many of them even seem giddy about it. Greedy fuckers.

In the future, I think the smart and resourceful "patient" will not be buying their weed from dispensaries... At least not if they want quality. This whole bill (1284) is an epic failure. I hope it comes back to haunt every SOB that thought it was a wonderful idea. Many of these backers were the dispensaries that post on these very same boards.
