I can go down the street and get an 8th of amazing chronic imported from cali for 45.00$-50.00$ from the local drug dealer. And luckily the local drug dealer offers volume discounts, unlike the producers, so if me and my fellow medical patients did want to chip in and get lets say quarter pound, its only going to be 900.00$ dollars, thats about 600.00$ less than going through the producers.



I know with 8 years of growing experience it should not cost an average of 13.00$ a gram. after a recent meeting with some fellow patients, one of which has pancreatic cancer currently in chemo therapy,and could not afford the prices the producers are charging.

So I decided to stand up and make my voice heard and take a stand for the patients of new mexico, I could continue growing my own herb and sticking to myself, as what the producers charge has no effect whatsoever on me personally.


I have only positive motives, I am not against herb.

I am fairly new to these forums and found this thread. I am curious about your math. You state that you can buy "amazing chronic" on the street for $45/eighth. That is $12.87/gram. Which is $360/ounce and $5,760 per pound. Your quarter pound would cost $1,440 before any discounts. You're saying that your street dealer would discount that much if you only pay $900/quarter. WOW!!!! So with that deep of a discount, you would be paying $8/gram. 35% off. That's great. BUT do you know if that was grown organically as is required by the NM rules and regulations? Do you know if there is any mold? Do you know if there are any spider mites? Do you know what pesticides were used if it wasn't grown organically?

You are aware that the rules state that the producers CANNOT offer quantity discounts. It isn't that the producers don't want to offer them, they cannot. Big difference. Place the blame where it belongs.

You are not against herb. But apparently you are against the LNPPs and the way the state is handling the program. You probably think the medicine should be given to the patients at no cost. That would be great and would probably happen but for a few things.....costs to produce and risk. Unlike patients with personal production license, most if not all of the producers have built or modified existing structures in order to grow indoors. Indoor growing is a lot more difficult and costly than outdoor growing. The number of plants increases the risk. Risk of detection. Risk of arrest. Risk of the cartels. Risk of seizure and forfeiture of property. If it were so easy to do, all of the patients would have production licenses and there wouldn't be a need for the LNPP. As with anything, not everyone is able to take advantage of the least expensive way to go. If you smoke cigarettes, do you grow your own tobacco? Probably not. If you drink, do you brew your own beer or distill your own liquor? Again, doubtful. So, quality costs more. Be patient and the prices will drop. But, from your math, you are willing to pay $45/gram illegally, so what is the deal about paying the same legally?
