Why can't the growers that do remain and go the legal route form some kind of union or co-op and set our prices?

Most commodities have a set price. If you go to a pharmacy and buy little blue or yellow pills for whatever ails you, pharmacy A doesn't deeply discount in order to compete with pharmacy B.

Growers have some bargaining power now, we have what the MMC's need in order to stay in business. No longer will they be able to strongarm us into ridiculous prices because they have 100 basement growers they can buy from.

I've heard over and over about how much overhead the dispensaries have and in order to compete, they need product well below the $3000.00 a lb mark. I don't disagree with the fact they have overhead. I've heard many say it's just a weed and monkeys can grow weed. I've seen a dozen vendors hit one dispensary in a matter of a couple hours and watched as one grower let his meds go for $2100.00 an lb, ridiculous!

As we growers get into compliance with HB 1284 and align with a dispensary, our costs to produce AAA meds will skyrocket. The rent alone on a properly zoned facility with a cool landlord has tripled in price. How in the hell can I let my product go for less than $3200.00 a lb and stay afloat?

I'd be more than happy to sell them my AAA meds for $2500.00 a lb if they pay all the cost's associated with the grow.

Seriously folks, we have some power back in our possession and if we can stick together, we can be fairly compensated and prosper.

My 2 cents. Peace!
