So if licensed patients consume on avg 1oz/month then there are 44oz/month/grower to satisfy market demand, and there is 159oz/month/dispenser to satisfy market demand. That doesnt account for licensed patients producing to satisfy their own demand
Some licensed growers are not producing, but I'm sure the ones that are producing are growing way more the 44oz/month.
If testing batch is 10lbs (is that still the test batch size?), then minimum target production is going to be 10lbs per cycle, but that will not produce enough revenue at current market. Likely, the minimum target per cycle will be 30lbs for a small commercial op (I imagine this is in the ballpark of your target). If a cycle is ready for delivery every 3mo, then that's 160oz/mo.
So, what does that say? I imagine 1oz/month is a reasonable WAG for avg consumption. Then, the stable market will support 75% fewer growers than the total number of grower licenses (that number assumes an avg of 160oz/mo/grower).
The only way to support that many growers (if they are all growing) is to pull additional consumption from outside of the licensed consumer population. I've heard the good herb on the street in the surrounding prohibition states is that OK stuff.
I know you do quality
@DoubleAtotheRON . I really hope it works out for you. I really wish I could do commercial. It's been a dream since a long time ago, but I guess I'll stick with my day job.
