Imagine this-

A smalltime caregiver serves himself and 5 patients and he does a good job and has some overage. To legally sell that overage, he HAS to sell to one of his patients. So somehow, he needs to convince THEM to pay his electricity bill, nute bill, dirt, coco, fans, and so on. How can he convince one of those 5 to take more than they need, so he can pay the bills? By lowering the price to a level that it makes it possible for them to be able to do something with it. I'm hearing 150 as a common price now.

It's what the poorly thought out regs do. Instead of figuring out a caregiver to mmc path for overage, adding it to the above ground, taxed system, they've diverted all this overage to.... where?

it's the sad lesson in economics that is pushing tax dollars away, makes businesses and caregivers, and state tax coffers pay the price.
