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.
