TELL THE PRODUCERS TO LOWER THEIR PRICE, ASK DOH TO MAKE THEM LOWER IT!

[MimbresValley]

The DOH is accepting recommendations for the next 10 days on what the patients would like to see happen in the program, lets ask them to have oversight on what the Directors are paid, and for the DOH to require producers lower the prices for patients.

Tell your current producer that you will not pay these inflated prices anymore and if they won't lower their prices that you will simply grow your own, if they won't serve the people, lets put them out of business by not giving them any business in the first place!:thumbsup:

NICE I also think that the price is inflated BUT if you need the meds. and cant grow then you are under a barrel. And as I said already I THINK that DOH wants to keep price high,

[MimbresValley]

why wouldn't someone be able to grow? I bet very few people are actually physically unable to grow, and if they cant, wouldn't their caregiver be able to grow for them?
If someone reads this and needs help, I will come by your house and set you up on an automated system for no charge other than materials. (If you live in the southwest part of the state):thumbsup:

How many people are going to write the DOH?

[MimbresValley]

The letter could read something as follows,
(just some ideas)

To whom it may concern,
I am a medical patient, and can not afford the medicine the Licensed producers are selling, because the prices are outrageous. The cost of cannabis is inflated due to its prohibition, it is a inflated black market price,so when the DOH says the producers can charge a fair market value, that is an inflated market value. It costs no more than 500.00$ to produce one pound of dried cannabis if grow in controlled growing environment indoors. The producers are charging on average of 4,000.00$ to 6,000.00$'s per pound. Where is all the other money going?
If for some reason the DOH wants to keep the price high, please reconsider, most people who have medical marijuana, cannot afford these inflated prices, there is no reason to make the patients suffer, just to possibly prevent one patient from selling it to make money, as it is a person can buy cannabis for less than half on the street here in new mexico, and in Colorado, California, etc. it goes as low as 1,200.00$ a pound with the growers still making their money. That equates to 2.00$-3.00$ a gram as opposed to 12.00$-14.00$, for the sick patients of new mexico.

what do you guys think?
I took some points from some other people on the boards.

We have been fighting for a year and a half to get more producers approved in able to get more medicine to the patients. Now you want them to go out of business at the expense of hurting patients.
If your issue is the price, then I believe the more producers we have and the more medicine available will drive the price down. If I am remembering accurately from the DOH's statistics read at the meeting this week, the average price in the latest report is $13 per gram and some were sold as low as $9.
We need to work hard to move this program forward. The future will work itself out.

John I do think you are trying to help the program but I do not agree with you ." Now you want them to go out of business at the expense of hurting patients". It is suppose to be nonprofit and yes it will cost to produce BUT give me a break 11-15 a gram.They are able to have 95 plants.By the way where is the 9 per gram

Knowledge and experience and IF they do have someone to help Will they have the KNOWLEDGE not everyone has done indoor growing. You are lucky to have that knowledge and experience. You do sound like a nice person offering to help others.

I am out of the loop on street prices. The last time for me was in the $350 to $400, That was a year and 1/2 ago. That was for average no name bud with some leafy shake at the bottom of the bag. I thought it was always B- at best. Never saw connoisseur or Medical grade. Please enlighten me. I always want to learn.
