Whats up RIU? I was curious how vendors are being affected with this current situation we have with the dispensaries being shut down, and some having to stall things. How is it looking for you guys? I don't really see as much news about suppliers being shut down. I have grown previously and have some buddies in the business as well, and I'm curious how others are doing. How will this affect the grower/supplier crowd?

From what Ive heard from commercial growers, they are pissed for the most part. Small time growers that ive talked to arent really too mad cuz they still have plenty of ppl on the street that will buy from them. Idk, thats like 4 ppls opinions tho.

The marijuana industry needs some type of regulation. Regulation but not government regulation. It's the wild west here. Many dispensaries that I have been to need to be shut down. Selling weed with silica, mold, pesticides. Not paying growers or flat out ripping them off. Abusing medical marijuana laws. Not paying taxes. No business license. Every dispensary, the employees are high as hell. They should not be allowed to smoke while working. I am frustrated so many times because I have a hard time communicating with them. They will short you, forget what they are doing, dont remember if you paid them or not. The list of problems goes on when they are trying to work high. I have even seen an employee fall and hit his head on the counter. When problems happen at or near dispensaries people never call the cops even when they are needed. It's strange all this stuff goes on.

Thanks for the input, are they pissed in the sense of less dispensaries that will pick up from them? or the concern they may be fucked with so to speak. I think the small time growers got a good market right now as well.

I totally understand you Nightmare, the problem is this gov. can not set up a basic foundation of laws, they end up fucking everything up, or nothing at all you know. But the beauty in that is that people are the final decision makers, if they do not go to a shit dispensary, then that place won't profit as much and have to reconsider their business practice. I know of some of those dispensaries that you are talking about, it comes down to their work ethic. Some people look at it as a quick hustle to make money, regardless if the patient/customer comes back.
