Excess harvest-Will the clubs buy it?

Basically put my question in the thread title....Im a cali patient, and given youre allowed to flower up to 6 plants, you'll more than likely harvest over your 8oz dry bud limit...Im guessing clubs wont buy excess buds from EVERYBODY, but do they do it and is it possible? Ive heard that clubs wont even talk to you unless you are giving them 1lb or more, ive also heard they dont like to take less than quarter lbs.

What is the truth?

edit: I know i only have 3 posts, ive just always frequented the city as my forum of choice, but the more time i spend lurking over here, the more abundance of better information im finding

Dan is right. Most of the time they only want lb's and up. Buying an lb is better business for them.

A) they get a big amount all at once (instead of buying 4 1/4's from 4 people)
B) they get a bigger discount since they are buying in bulk

However if you snoop around there ARE clubs who do take 1/4's and up. most of the time it says on their website what they'll take for a minimum donation (usually its 1/4's or 1/2's). so my advice is try weedmaps or something to find dispensaries and then visit their website to see what they take, etc. if you find a club's website often it'll tell you what they take. if not use the "contact us" link and send them an email. most clubs respond within 24hrs. its a good idea to send a pic (clear and full of detail...not a cell fone pic) with the message to show them you're serious and have some good looking bud.

Budtrader is a decent source for finding some dispensaries who are actively seeking vendors. Best bet is to post in the "wanted" section under a similar title of "vendor looking for dispensary" etc. theres also a fair amount of buyers and sellers on budtrader. so its up to you if you wanna deal with a club or a person/delivery service/ etc.

bud trader has a feature where someone can be "budtrader verified". all that means is the user submitted proof of their doc's rec and (i think) their ID/driver's license.

If youre gonna deal with someone from there (and not a club) then you best bet is to request a photo or scanned copy of the buyer's ID/driver's license AND their dr's rec/card. this way you know if you're dealing with someone legit or a robber.

also they have a ripper section where people post bad experiences with buyers from the site. so thats a nice helpful tool to keep it from happening over and over again.

Craigslist isn't the way to go...no dispensaries (as far as im aware) use that site to find vendors...more so to advertise and even then not too many do that. craigslist is probably the most shady why of going about it.

Use to sell to clinics back in the day. Was easy just contact them. Better yet walk in and buy bulk of something from them. Say Ediblies Like i did. From there strut your swag in the game. It's fairly easy to get connected with members of collectives. Once one comes they all come...haha really my list goes from norcal to socal sandiego el centro area

Cool thanks guys, appreciate the feedback...it seems like a sticky situation....you are allowed to flower 6 plants to every 1 person, and 8oz of dry bud....but you cannot have more than 8oz, well shit if youre flowering 6 plants you'll most likely go over 8oz if you know what youre doing, so its like....what do i do with all this extra when the clubs only want to buy from reputable commercial growers and want to buy in bulk? imo, assuming the bud isnt complete shit, i think all clubs should take donations from patients who harvested over their allowed limit. But I realize that isnt the case

You have to understand, clubs are businesses. They aren't there to help you any more than rite aid or target would be. They are all about the money and running their businesses smoothly. Now they can either spend all day looking at all their members extra product an ounce at a time or they can buy 10 pounds at once from a professional and usually get higher quality, a discount, and the convenience of not having to waist a day seeing a couple hundred patients who have an ounce a piece and having to have separate negotiations with all of them. If you owned a club which would you prefer to do?

I understand that from the business perspective, i was more so looking at it from a legality standpoint...they only allow us to legally flower 6 plants, and have up to 8oz, but clubs wont take your excess bud so youre stuck over the limit and need to do something else(wont incriminate myself by saying the obvious options)...I guess leos would just confiscate the excess or make you dispose of it somehow in order to avoid legal troubles?

What other options are there?

The limit laws are specifically designed to allow cops to go out and play cowboy kicking in doors and shit. They wouldn't make you dispose of it. They'd either steal your shit, ignore it and let it slide, or throw you in jail. That all just depends what county you're in and who the cop who shows up at your door is.

Realistically though, if you're not doing anything shady or telling everyone where you grow/keep your stash, the cops probably aren't going to kick in your door.

Take the extras and kick them down to your friends if you're that worried about it. You know the other options.

If you want to get paid by the clubs, you need a pound in most cases. Clubs that will take less exist, but are rare. I'd recommend trying small clubs without big reputations if you're going that route. Just ask them. The worst thing that's going to happen is them saying "no thank you". That isn't so bad.

i disagree with dan to an extent in terms of clubs buying relatively small amounts. Being a cali patient myself and having had family members who have been patients for years, i have a moderate amount of "club" experience. In my particular area, the demand is greater than the supply so this is obviously a huge factor, clubs want to buy a pound at least but it depends on quality and strain. other factors include who you know, who you are, your price, etc. I should say that i have yet to produce, let alone have an excess in meds. Nor do i have any experience selling to the clubs, but have spoken to local distributors about buying my strains. I just happen to be flowering 12 in my perpetual(wife has card too) and intend on having an excess in order to make room for possible errors in my journey. I want to stay legal, otherwise ill give the excess to known cardholders.

It was my understanding that the CA Supreme Court threw out the limit laws as long as you can prove you harvest what you need for your condition...

hmmm, interesting article....however, not sure if i would want to risk growing over the 6 plant flowering limit just yet....the article/law seems pretty vague. You can flower whatever amount you want "as long as you can argue in court the amount youre growing is necessary for your ailment"....so basically it seems like, if you get busted and have say 10 plants instead of 6 theyll just arrest you and have a jury decide your fate. Seems too sketch to risk at the moment...?

No, he is right. As long as it is written on your doctors rec, you're good to go. Usually doctors charge extra for doing this, but it can be done.

Oh I see, so the plant limit isnt universal, meaning its not that anybody with a medical card can grow however many plants they want, it all depends on how many plants your doctor has signed and allowed you to grow...I was looking at it like: in cali you can flower 6, now there is no limit for patients and they can grow as much as they want. Thanks for the clarification.
