ok heres how i feel about prices and co-ops. co-ops are good and bad. good for the fact that patients who can not grow their own have a place to go, yada yada yada. the bad is the fact that you can not trust any of the people at any of these places...they are drug dealers trying to be "legal" and they screw patients over everyday for self profit in this non-profit business...ask me how? well when you happen to sell an oz of high quality stuff to a co-op for $210 because they are telling you that they will let it go for $260 to other patients, BUT then turn around while your still standing their and tell another patient that "this goes for $300 an oz"....wtf??? how are you not supposed to think that these guys are scaming patients for profit. i know its easy for them to "justify"(make fucking excuses) it, since they have "overhead" to cover, but fuck you co-ops, growers have more overhead per oz then you do.

all im trying to say is that from a growers view point, the co-ops are trying to look like(to other patients) they are paying "high" to the growers and thats why they have to sell "high" to the patients. when the truth is that they buy low, and patients pay high. so in a sense, if you as a patient go into a co-op for meds and end up paying $300 an oz(when they paid $210 for it not even 5 minutes ago), your paying them $100-EVERY OUNCE- why? its not even like they are providing you with a real service(they didnt help decide what med would be best for my condition, or even ask what it was) and they justify this? just doesnt seem right to me.

patients should be able to pay less then the black market, not what IS the black market.
