Prices

[Lemonhoko]

From my experience. there are clubs out there that rape both patients and growers.
Growers need to unite and expose these clubs and black list them.

Im tired of hearing that they are trying to pay low prices so they can bring down the prices for patients.

I have seen first hand them bartering down ounce prices to below 200 and then selling eights of the same weed for 60 bucks.

It makes me sick to see the dispensaries make more money than the growers...and lieing through their teeth about why they need to pay the grower lower prices.

I know a club in Tacoma that pays less than 260 for TOP of the line meds only to sell the same ounce for a 300 dollar PROFIT.
Not 300 dollars total, but profit after selling the ounce broke down at ridiculious prices.

If things dont change with the price structure soon, I will personally make it a project to expose these rip offs.

I wont post names of Tacoma Dispensaries...yet, you know who you are. I suggest either paying the growers more, or giving the patients a fair price compared to what you are paying for the meds.

This is a fair warning to all you high priced clubs. Either get your act together, or the local growers will do it for you.l

weird...i bet i know exactly which place you speak of sir. i couldnt have said it any better, thats how it is with these places and it makes me sick. they have a lot of nerve abuseing it like they do. thats why i feel their has to be something set. how can patients help patients if the co-ops make it their duty to fuck them both over. i like the idea of the "farmers market" gathering because of this period. problem solved, no fucking middle man to ruin it for everyone with their own greed. yeah co-ops are middle men, legal middle men that take advantage of their jobs

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 am just talking about the realities of the cannabis markets as they currently are. Its very hard to say what would happen if cannabis could be grown like wheat. The US produces something like 154 billion pounds of wheat crop each year, that much cannabis would indeed drop prices to near flour levels. But I don't see that coming anytime soon.

I would like to see a true co-operative started where the growers and the MMJ patients can work together to get reasonable prices and to weed out the middle man. I understand that we live in capitalist society and the rule of thumb is whatever the traffic will bear. But this isn't what we as MMJ patients are all about is it?

Why dont Patients just contact growers and buy their meds wholesale, cut out the middle man. I believe that this would be best for all involved :jointsmile:
(except co-ops)

[killerweed420]

Thats what a true co-op is. Connects farmers with buyers directly. Thats why its nice to shop for veggies at co-ops or farmers markets, you get to buy directly from the grower.

most patients dont want to buy the amount that most growers want to sell at a time.

I am not familiar with Washington Law. You are all bitching about the middleman mark up. Who needs them? Growers should form a co ops and sell small quanities directly to the consumer. Small quantities ( 1 oz a day)can not be resold for a big profit. In reality the growers are in the drivers seat. They just haven't got together and figured that out yet.

As your bussiness expands, you bring new members in. You brick and mortar opperational costs could be made public and a cut added to each sale to keep the lights on. Your profit rate should also be shown, so everybody knows exactly what they are paying for. The co op should be totaly transparent.

It all comes down to why you are doing it. A group of growers that actualy care about patients I think would do quite well. So well in fact I would follow that other distributer in the area could not compete with the co op and be forced to lower prices.

I do not have a dog in this fight. Sorry for putting my nose in here.

Here's my genius idea.lol
Get some growers together
Form a co-op
STart a members only smoke club(they're legal)
Sell to club members only.
Plus 1 gram free samples

This gives you a nice safe environment to sit down try out a couple free samples to see what you want to buy, hook up with grower for the buy.

It could be expanded to a club type atmosphere with maybe some live music and pool tables. Would stay away from all alcohol though otherwise it starts getting too complicated.
