I know they are prevented by law to promote over another. You have to understand what I said, I said they USE a business TACTIC. Just like any good business does, they find ways around those laws. They aren't TECHNICALLY telling you to buy from them or recommending 4th street meds, I never said that. But by them running SPECIALS, that is they're way of promoting they're md over another without actually stating it. Just like Burger King, they have a dollar menu but they aren't advertising it as a better deal then Mc. Donalds, but everyone knows WHY they are doing it, because of Mc. Donald's. It doesn't take much common-sense for someone to say;I do not buy my medicine from a doctor the doctor gives the rcomendation. they are prevented buy law from promoting and dispensary over another they cant say heres your rec now check out mary janes on 4th they have great medicine. some doctors have started opening offices in the same buildings as dispensary which is questionable and im sure does help both doc and dispensary buisness. The doc I was reffering to dosen't have a dispensary and has been known to give free recomendations to homeless people who had a legitimate medical issue not for publicity not for profit but as compassion. And I have not seen anyone in need shut off on free compassion meds I know my dispensire is a buisness and i'm sure their not losing money-sometimes I pay 30$ a gram for THE BEST- but I have been really impressed with the compassion i have seen shown many times to those who couldn't afford meds- I see that their not giving away the top shelf I pay for but I have seen many bags given away that I would be very grateful to receive if I was in need. I understand buisness is buisness and not all promotions are done to be 'nice' but their is more compassion to be found in the mmj community than in most buisnesses. Some shop owners are dirt balls -some are not
"Who should I pick, MediCann for $150, or 420hookups for $45?"
Of course they are going to go with 420hookups, did 420hookups have to tell them to go through them? No. Did 420hu tell them they're deal was better then MediCann? No. Because the SPECIAL they are running says it all without saying it. Common-sense business tactics is what we call that. Catering to the public in a common-sense light, that is irresistible. Spend $150 or spend $45... no brainer.
As for them hooking up the homeless, blah blah blah. I don't take that as a legitimate anything. Because like I said, there is a select few that are good, but the majority of them are bad. Of course there is always those "select few" there is a "select few" in every business that are good. That's just life. But you have to look at the STATISTICS & who the numbers favor... in this case, they favor the fact that most are a business & most are greedy.
It's like saying, "Last night a cop killed a innocent citizen, all cops should be fired & new ones rehired!"
Really? Why? Because ONE cop fucked up? Your going to account for EVERY cop because one fucked up? You have to look at the statistics. Now, if there was 40 cops working & 20 killed innocent citizens, then you would have a legitimate argument. But like I said, you have to look at the numbers & the numbers show that there was more GOOD cops then BAD. So, I don't care if they hook you up, because that is just ONE good dispensary & you might know a few more, but there is hundreds out there & you haven't even been to 25% of them, most won't do what yours does. I'm sorry that the select few GOOD ONES have to go down, but that's what happens when your in a business that is run by greed, you have to be aware that at anytime the people within the same business as you, can give you a bad name.
You said it yourself... "Some shop owners are dirt balls -some are not" 90% are dirt -10% are not... so who do we favor here?
