You can have the choice to join the co-op at different levels as either a grower or as a member. By being a member you should get your cannabis at a very fair price by offering your script to the co-op to grow for you. You get a guranteed delivery at harvest of X amout based on your script and buy in.

What would you consider to be a fair buy in to gurantee say 1.5 lbs? $1,000? Thats what about $48 an oz? All you have to do is wait for the harvest to cure and you're good till the next harvest.

They can. The people running the co-ops, and farms in legal and illegal states right now are greedy and that's why they are on top. I am in the process of trying to fix this. Organization is definately a good idea, on an international level. Coordinating with everything to get it to run smoothly and stop the highway robbery of $20g in illegal states, and $50 1/8 in legal states. I currently live in Colorado and am going to start meeting people here. But I already know people in Cali and Texas, and I am planning on a small part of our efforts being towards fixing prices. I say small part because I plan on meeting people in many more US states as well as internationally soon, and I have more plans that adjusting prices to a stable low place. It won't be that hard, it was cheap in the 60's-80's and it just takes some strong will to put things back on track.
