OR he could unload it all at once... but obviously the larger amount you buy the more of a volume discount a person gets on the street.
So the guy who grew the 10 lbs he probably will sell off 1lb at a time for 3,000.00$ a pound or let the whole ten pack go for 20 grand.
then somene splits that up.
On the street small time growers buy ounces and then hustle grams and a couple 8ths to make money..

the next fish above that person might by quater pounds then hustle ounces to people.

that guy gets his herb from the seller who sells pounds.. the guy who sells pounds doesn't fuck with selling grams... chump change to them

the guy who gets pounds gets them from the grower.
in every transaction the price increases.
Wow, several items I take offense. But let's just say as a college GRADUATE with an ACCOUNTING degree and being self-employed I DO KNOW math and market analysis. I have done my research and if you go to (one source) you'll find that the current pricing ranges from $12 - 20 per gram for Grade A medicinal quality throughout the nation. It only lists pricing by strain. In NM the prices range from $10 - 15. Maybe some strains are more, some less, but the average price is $12.50/gram. You also stated that you paid $45/eighth of Cali. Hello! That's about the same price as here. And there is CA quality medicinal cannabis available in NM from the LNPPs RIGHT NOW. Once the program in NM has been in existence for 8+ years, I would expect the LNPPs here will be able to provide better and less expensive cannabis to the patients. Don't forget, too, the LNPPs have to charge sales tax, the street dealer doesn't.

Obviously you only read what you want to read. The numbers don't lie and I spelled it all out for you in my prior post.

I get so tired of the LNPP bashing on this site and at the meetings. You stated you could grow for $300/pound. Great. Get your license application submitted and you will be able to offer medicine at the prices you feel are fair. When you're preparing your business plan, don't forget all the costs involved with a larger operation. You will have labor, electricty, water, nutrients, equipment, rent, security, supplies, etc., etc., etc. Oh and don't forget to offer the lowest price ALWAYS. Regardless of your costs and how litte is produced each harvest.

Obviously you haven't done your research with all of the producers in the NM program or you would know the true prices being offered. That's not to say that all of the producers have medicinal quality meds, but they are all trying to get there. It takes some time to be up and operational on a consistent basis. Give it 8 years or more.

Those that can, DO. Those that can't, sit around and criticize.
