Vending?

[SoCoMMJ]

Yeah, i think there will be plenty of meds available. There are some 100 light grows going in down here. The patients will always have numerous MMCs to buy from. The MMCs should have plenty of options to buy an additional 30%.

There are well over 100 dispensaries here in Co Springs that paid the city app fees. Not sure how many of those ran the state application and stayed on after 8/1 though.

I believe that prices will come down once things settle in. Part of the reason for the high prices relates to contracted grower prices. If the dispensary pays +/- 200oz to the grower, the price goes up to retail from there.

As contracts get renegotiated, the prices will come down. But still there is the wholesale grower to dispensary price prior to retail mark up.

I could be wrong, but I assume some volume players will emerge soon enough.

They are here and have grow spaces of over 50,000 sqft. And those are just the ones I know about. I spoke to one guy in Rino that said he was aligning with dispensaries and he had 150,000 sqft of space.

There will be plenty of supply.

I think that many dispensaries are going to be a lot busier than they anticipated in the next few months. A 100 light set up will do a little more than a pound per day. There are MMCs selling 5lbs/day, currently.

I think a lot of centers will have a hard time with the 70% piece as patient numbers continue to increase and the number of centers remains static. It takes a huge operation to produce the numbers needed. Huge.

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

what range are you offering for vendors?

putting this thread back on track. I ask the above again.

I bet that will be exquisite smoke (LOL)

I wonder what the preventative regimen is in a grow that big.

serious chems!

Yep, it would take months just to discover you had mites, nothing a few gallons of Avid wouldnt fix though.

[copobo]

that's what I'm saying. You could NEVER let it happen! you'd be down the shitter just on electricity bills. Out months of production - from ONE pm or mite infection! The only way to deal will be with preventative measures. employee shower-in. clean room standards. I doubt anyone is up to speed on this. perhaps a couple cali/bc implants. then again, there are some people that know their shit around here,

Yep, step one:
NO freaking cuts, clones, or plants brought in from outside of the center.

Everything I see lately has either mites, pm, or the latest fun, Gnats. Thank god they weren't RA. And this stuff comes from "professionals". WTF ?

I have been to a bunch of huge warehouses in the last 2 months yes there will be plenty of supply but the quality won't be where it was I spoke to a dispensery grower who is spending under 10 bucks an ounce indoor that's including rent electric mutes etc! I think that the quality of growers is better here then in Cali but it is nowhere near where it needs to be....can you grow aaa bud in a warehouse? Yes but it takes alot of work to do it right

btw Soco weed is bomb and cheap as hell!! I think that in the next year everyone will see prices go down as dispensery owners are going to start hacking away at prices to grab a bigger slice of the pie yes 1284 hurt alot of caregivers I for one had to shut down a barn that I had sunk over 50k into but you have to adapt to stay alive in this business

So, if you have to turn down patients to keep within your license requirements/grow limitations, are you recommending caregivers for those who do not state your center as their provider?

I imagine most centers will not be able to boast of a variety of flavors unless centers trade flavors amongst themselves....but not the good ones, eh?

Also, is it possible for caregivers to meet their patients at your center, i.e., a neutral place (private room) out of site of the public rather than a parking lot, etc. if the patient is uncomfortable having their caregiver come to their home?

We haven't reached that point, but when we do, that's a possibility. Most of the caregivers we work with have maxed out, however. Trading might be more difficult than anyone thought, we're hearing whispers about how insanely regulated wholesaling may become.

We can't allow distribution in our center unless it's by our center, but that is a great idea.

what range are you offering for vendors?

Up to 1000/4k for the right meds.

your right they did help out in a big way...by staying quite while the rug was being pulled out from under them.

I've said time and time again it's unfortunate that caregivers couldn't unite and find a unified voice. We will be speaking up for them at the city council meeting.

I would assume some of the Centers are positioning themselves to be wholesalers to other Centers, more than being dispensaries themselves.

I think too many centers are banking on that. Also, if you're running a huge warehouse and supply is so high because so few centers are any good at growing, wouldn't you pick and choose which other centers you wholesale to?

For example, say The Releaf Center had a massive crop failure. We may have a lot of crop, but not much of it is usable. Why would another shop want to keep us in business? Or why wouldn't they price gouge?
