How in the world are terminally ill patients to afford the average 370.00$ on ounce price tag. Almost 6,000.00$ a pound.

As blackhash and myself can attest to it doesnt cost anywhere near what the producers are charging to produce cannabis. Close to 6,000.00$ A pound.

I wonder what kind of salaries these Board of Director members are receiving?

I am not saying the producers should work for free,they should receive a reasonable compensation, but 6,000.00 a pound, they are just bending the sick patients of New Mexico over a table.

I think the DOH should regulate what board members are allowed to take home for compensation.

I would also have to disagree most of these non profits are well meaning, if they were, they wouldn't be charging these BLACK MARKET INFLATED PRICES!
Period!
The dispensaries may tell people they have gotten into this to "help" people, but I don't think selling somebody who is desperately ill medicine for close to 400.oo an ounce when it only costs around 30.oo$ to produce that same ounce.
Thats helping people?
My understanding of the situation is that the DOH makes the Producers charge a minimum price so that it will not be FAR lower than street prices because they are worried about patients reselling meds at a profit.
