Prices

ya their should be set amounts for "lows", "mediums", and "highs" i think, for both the grower and the co-ops to stick to. but since their is no ground rules here currently, people(some greedy shops) are taking advantage of this non-profit B-S and making lots of money screwing over the sic.

Growers do sell for 100 an ounce. Just its large outdoor operations. The large indoor operations tend to go up closer to 200 an ounce, and the smaller indoor ops go above that.


The clubs are going to charge whatever the market demands. If a club started selling 25 dollar 1/8 of 15% THC totally organic super bud, they'd be out before 9am.

Yeah I think you would find a lot of indoor growers would sell there overage to a dispensary for a $100 an ounce if the dispensary would guarantee they wouldn't mark it up to $300 or $400 an ounce. The dispensaries should just set a flat fee that they mark up every ounce to pey for there overhead.

there isn't a large enough supply of cannabis to meet the demand that 1/8th for 25 bucks of good indoor would generate.


There just isn't.

I think you might be surprised how many indoor growers there are that just don't know how to get rid of there excess. There's a lot out there but a lot of them are afraid of the government thugs.

i think you'd be surprised at how terrible most of that herb is.

yeah thats pretty much what im getting at, they need to only be alowed to "mark up" the price they sell an oz for so much. i mean the way they do business makes it look like the growers are the ones screwing everyone over...but were not, its the co-ops. i find it hard myself to let an oz go for $200 seeings that everyones is so greedy and just think "hey, i only paid $200 for it, why not get $300 or more for it, i know people will pay it".

there is a huge difference between MASS(more plants then allowed) produced LBs of mmj, and small scale high quality personal smoke grows who dont yeild more then say a qp each harvest. its these rare, small scale growers who know what it takes to make high quality meds that deserve to get the most per oz because they put more time and effort into it because well, we actualy care what we are smoking, not just to chop it and make a quick buck. its like going to rent a car, you have two options, one is to take the porsche, pay more for it because it came from a higher form of automobile manufactures who put more time, effort, money, etc into making the car and you will enjoy the hell out of it. or you can take option two which is the ford escort, you pay less for it because the car is produced faster and cheaper then the porsche, comes from a lower grade of manufacturers, but because its a lower class car you dont enjoy it at all when you drive it. see the difference between "grower styles" and the cannabis being put out on the market now?

im sorry buts thats just BS. its not the whether or not their is a large enough supply, we all know their is, its the people who are running the shops and the patient/growers selling to them.
they need to either legalize it already so that this shit stops, or finaly set ground rules that EVERYONE must abide by(which legalization would solve) so that this hole "price" issue can disapear and people can stop making such a big deal out of something this stupid.

we treat cannabis like it is something entirely new to humans in general and dont know what to do with it or what it does...this is fucking stupid, we know what it does and why is it we can manufacture and regulate literally everything else in the world, even humans themselves, but yet we cant decide what to do with a plant for like 100 years now? people are fucking insane.

no, that's basic economics. There is NOT a large enough supply to support consumer pricing at 25 per 1/8 of top quality indoor, which is why the price is around twice that. The reason the shops can charge what they do is because of demand. If demand was matching supply at a price point of 25 per 1/8 that's what would be charged. Its not.

You're correct that legalizing would be able to increase supply which would lower prices to the consumer.

im sorry, im not in la la land where i pretend no one grows or smokes mj....the REAL supply and demand is being kept quite, while they are making up whatever they want about it. think about it, EVERYONE LOVES MJ, which is why the supply isnt their either because of the governments stupid laws. so then its up to the mmj patient growers to supply co-ops and such with meds for mmj only patients, which makes the prices what they are... but dont act like the supply or the demand isnt their cause that is just BS. if legalized that would mean yes, anyone could grow and more people WOULD be supplying and prices WOULD drop to the point of 25 an 1/8. i mean realy cmon, cannabis is the "highest $/G ratio" out of anything else, would you pay $300 for 28G's of Flour? i think not. do you see how we have created a problem that doesnt need to exist???? thats all im getting at, but since we act like their is a greater power then US controling US, we cant take the little "leap of faith" to see what happens if we stand up for what you believe is right, and we all agree on cannabis being safe and that it should be legal.... so be proud to be "pie eyed", relax, enjoy the herbal goodness for once
