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 $45/gram illegally, so what is the deal about paying the same legally?
You obviously know zero about the market... california has had medical marijuana for like 10 years now?, the prices in the dispensaries have not dropped at all, when 215 was passed back in the day 8ths were 50- 60.00$ many many years later 8ths are still50- 60.00$.

THE PRICES WILL NEVER DROP...

do a little research about the market before you go making claims you know zero about.
NO DROP IN PRICE, WHY? because people don't want to give up that fat paycheck... google richard lee guy is a multi millionare from selling legal cannabis to sick patients.

... wholesale prices from the growers have dropped signifignatly in cali though for grade 1 buds, but the places that sell(dispensaries) still want to cash in at the expense of people who are suffering.

Lbs of the most dank herb can be picked up for 2,200.00$ a pound in cali, here in new mexico pounds imported from cali go for about 3,300 on the street.
as a personal producer who has grown for 8 years and lived in several medical states I can state for a fact it costs me only about 300.00$ to produce a pound of cannabis indooors. outdoors much less.

The herb on the street that I get here in NM(generally imported from cali) IS WAYYYYYY BETTER than anything being grown here currently and WAY cheaper, period.
(better growers in cali, more experience, more competetion etc...)
