The Clubs, They Lie

[Cali.Grown>408]

I'm not going to mention names because I have good relationships with many of them. I'm talking about the non-shady clubs. They pull the same shit every other club pulls. Switching names/prices to make certain stuff sell better. Almost all the clubs do that. And even the ones that don't, still get bullshitted by their vendors.

It's not that they are bad clubs. That's just how the game is played. Some of them have good values and fair pricing. But business is business. If they have something that isn't selling, they switch the name/price. That's just how it's done. They aren't going to eat the cost of the pack.

i dont know any clubs that do that and from my experience, if they cant sell something they drop the price.. EX.-if they had two strains and were having a hard time selling both of those for 16-17 a gram they would make a special like buy one gram get the other half off or maybe 2grams for $25...dont get me wrong tho im not really disagreeing with u, there are shady clubs out there that probably do what ur talking about but i've yet to experience it but take in mind i dont go to the co-op's unless im gettting HOOKED UP..i'll go in there and walk out with nothing if im not getting hooked up

That's right! My dispensary hooks us up ALL the time!!! There's about 30 of them getting ready to skydive @ a discounted price and the club picked up the tab for a couple guys who couldn't afford it. Our sacks ALWAYS weigh heavy, like .5, .7g. The wax and oil is awesome and there's ALWAYS some special running. On bud anyways. $10g's for ALL top shelf. No bud in the house more than $10/g and SOME at $5/g. BBQ's several times a week during summer that are completely free. The members that live close to the club go there, spend money on bud that they WOULD'VE had to spend on dinner, and eat great food for free while smoking the hell outta the wax. GREAT group of people.

hey budlover you from SJ to?? where do u go?? med ex or that place in the eastridge mall shopping center?? i personally could get top shelf from the streets or straight from the growers so i never really buy at co-ops unless its a Special deal day, like at eko fresh i buy a gram of earwax or hash then i get a free gram with any purchase..i do that every now and then but it's cheaper on the streets and tax free

 

[budlover13]

I go to Buds4Life in Fresno. I'm in the Central Valley. Yeah, I grow my own smoke, but I am just starting to learn to make wax(got a fellow member that just took a "class" and is willing to show me). I DO get bud there though just b/c they have SOOooo many strains. That's how I found out about Black Jesus. But MOSTLY, I go up there to hang out with the members and put our heads together. They make it REALLY feel like family. If you're EVER in the area, check 'em out. I plan on checking out the Bay Area, time and money permitting.

You can check 'em out online if you want. Just add .com after their name. Great online menu, delivery, curb-side pick-up, and a fairly small but friendly forum.

Black jesus..black domina and gods gift??? never heard of it, i've had the baby jesus though..that shit is hella good..if your ever in SJ holla at me i got the best prices and deals around especially on ounces lol "club cali.grown>408"

 

[budlover13]

Right on! Definitely do that when I head up there. I think we are headed to Crescent City to visit friends this summer. Can't wait to kick it in NorCal!

 

[budlover13]

I forgot to address the strain! LOL!
It IS Black Domina, but idk if it's a God's Gift cross or not. I'll be doing some more research. I googled it and really didn't find anything so idk if it is a new local strain or the "renamed" strains that hit the clubs sometimes. I trust my club, but idk their vendors.

 

[budlover13]

I know where I can get 2 seeds, but idk him too well and they are NOT cheap. Going to ask him to SEE the seeds and still don't know. I mean, well, you know.....

all the hippies-

saying one love, and hey man. or fucking whatever, are just the same as the big business and government. everyone(almost) i know has forgotten where they come from for the almighty dollar.

tell a lie make abuck.

posers. fakes. counterfeits.

as a business owner you make the best out of it. sometimes oyu make a gain, sometimes loss. it's the average of your endeavor that weighs you. faking for a dollar is unsustainable.


i hope all you guys makin it big off of the medical industry fall down and poke a stick in your scrotum.
at least make your money on the black market.
it's the old fashioned way to be a criminal.

don't get me wrong. i believe in capitalism. the caveat is there is no inherent principle of honesty in it.
the people doing this aren't even trying hard is the thing. it's easy to exploit the system.

earning real credibility, i s much more difficult.

Dude, if people buy high priced shit at the dispensaries why is the business owner to blame? Mmj is just the mainstream "black market". There have been growers and dealers long before mmj. Mmj is just the avenue for people who want to turn that "black market" into a reputable business.

The prevailing local theory for why many dispensaries hold street prices is so you can't go in, buy an oz, and turn around and make a profit. Reasonable, imho.

Right, that thought was in my head, but to translate my thoughts into words is hard when I'm stoned

that just goes for some of the co-ops..some co-op's will sell u quarter pounds and some wont..i know a club that will let u mix a match any strain they have in stock to make a quarter pound and charge u $950..i would never pay that now cuz i can get top shelf quality off the street for no more then $850 but 2-3years ago i would have been all over that

 

[budlover13]

B/c mine(i don't own it, just a member) sells $10/g's and it's then "Dispensary Bud", I'm sure there's some turn-around for some members. But that's on them, not me or the club. B4L just tries to make meds affordable and comfortable.

$950 a qp? Wow! mine has it between $567 & $950. Outdoor Tornado mix(a little bit of everything) or top shelf. So I guess $950 isn't bad if it's good bud. (Sorry, started post then used calculator)

im in cali so yea its some GOOD shit..they got cheap shit to but i thought we were talking quality..thats all i fuk with but yea were in 2 totally different spots so its ganna be a little different

 

[budlover13]

Yeah. Central Cali here. And agreed. They have everything from good outdoor to high-quality indoor. And then everything else. Just depends on finances. For ME, I stick to the top-shelf since it IS my medicine.

everyone does it! if you've ever bought weed from anyone but the grower you have most likely got a name that wasn't right! even from growers! a friend swore he didn't like northern lights, I told him it was some white widow and he loved it! I just laughed at him because I had been growing the same NL for 3 crops! I got some "bubble gum" before that was covered in hair! I when I gave some to friends I told them it was called chewbacca! It really did look like chewbacca! it had a coating of hairs, couldn't even see the bud at first!

The problem with strain names is that once someone gets some bud that is poorly grown, they think it's just a bad strain. Most strains can be either fantastic or crap depending on how they're grown. The average customer at a club is going to have a hard time making that distinction. That's why clubs play the name game.

Right, because black market selling is waaaaay more honest. No one would ever lie to sell bud on the black market.

It's not like they are going to tell you they're doing it.

People literally go into dispensaries only interested in buying the highest price thing they can. Not just a couple of people, a lot of them, maybe a majority. Many of the most successful clubs have realized that they'll actually sell out of a product faster if they raise the price than if they lower the price. Raising the prices to sell a product faster would make no sense in most businesses, but when people come in and only consider buying the most expensive thing on the menu, it works.
