RI patients need you!

[NoBarriers]

With volume comes more expenses. Like Rick said its 2lbs per month if you are renting a space after taxes. So if you are running 8 lights at 1lb per light on a 3 month cycle that leaves you with a 2 lb profit every 3 months. The math doesn't work. It will sort itself out as the market dictates prices. I am going to call them today to see if they are interested in my tinctures and edibles. I also have some bud that I put through a spin pro if they will take that then fine but I'm not hand trimming bud for 125 per oz.

There not allowed to sell edibles at this time !!! Also SSDI patients get 10% off prices !!! And no clones are To be sold at this time due to a numbers issue !

 

[Coastalnugs]

Ha ! What a joke! I wouldn't expect any less , this is Rhode Island after all!

$125 a zip on the cuff for 30 days! I can see they will be stocking the jars with the worst crap RI has to offer. I hope they will be testing for avid , floramite and every other nasty chems all the greenhorns around here douse their flowers with! Not too mention pgr's that are not meant for use on consumable crops. I wouldn't consume 99% of the meds I see in this state.

They are planning on charging $25 to 45 per an eighth . So they will be making $200 to $360 a zip. How are they paying a flat rate for excess meds, then they sell at different price points?

Then after you pay taxes on your 2 k , your left with 1300! Heh , and you will be paying federal taxes , while your breaking federal law. Genius!
Bring on the jars of blue cheese and white widow!

ps , for all you making packaging materials for your edibles, I wouldn't waste your time. You need to produce your edibles In a licensed kitchen , follow all health code rules , etc. So this means , not your home kitchen . You will need food safety manager cert , liability insurance , and have the doh come and inspect your professional work space prior to production .

Like I said earlier, I don't see any way to come out with more than $100/z after you've paid taxes -- and that doesn't include expenses. I don't know how it is all going to shake out -- I'm expecting either quality to suffer (40% rejection rate or not) or Slater to simply run out regularly until they get their own op harvesting.

If Slater is charging more than $250/z (a 100% markup), I expect their regular customers to be people who simply can't find (or are uncomfortable meeting) individual caregivers. Personally, I'm just there to check out their hash (if any).

 

[Coastalnugs]

They are charging $200 to 360 a zip , which I'm sure will be even higher in the end....

 

[Franklinstein]

$360 is ridiculous at what they're paying. Sheer profiteering.

heh , seriously!


oooooh but all their overhead......

 

[Wavegem]

Hey guys, I am gonna speak my mind for a sec. Overhead, uh... Ya I call flat out bullshit. They Telll you one thing and do another. Straight profit for them is what they want. 125 oz? Suck my fucking dick assholes. They gram it out at 17 plus tax. They spent more on the building, stone work, granite then they do on our schools. All you guys take your head out of your asses and get with the program. Some big operation they got.. Full of garbage meds because they spent all their money. 30 day consignment? What am I your bank too? They are liars and thieves working under the guise to help patients. lBH call me out you fucking loser.

 

[LBH]

lBH call me out you fucking loser.

I think u just called yourself out bud,lol. I'm good.

Just curious tho,...was the center supposed to personally fund your school too? Where'd that come from? Sure, they'll be dumping some good coin into special programs in specific school districts but are they OBLIGATED to? No. So just say "Thanks" for helping lower your taxes and try not to let yourself get too worked up about it.

As for their pricing,....If you don't like the prices on either end, do like myself and others have and CHOOSE not to sell/buy there while those prices are in effect. I sold them a batch to help get them off the ground but won't be growing extra till the market levels out, it's basic business dude. I don't see you in front of Starbucks bitchin that a Latte' is $5,....you either choose to use their service or not.

If you still have a bitch worth listening to, I'm all ears but for now you're just hatin' and it's making you look simple. Calling someone you've never met names on a board where their opinion is somewhat respected, that shit won't get you far either. You're obviously young, just a couple pointers to get you in the right direction. If you have an opinion, present it like an adult or go back to the sandbox

 

[LBH]

One other thing regarding overhead, forget the million $$ building,....how much do you think they spent in lost rent and law costs for the last 4 years? All those lobbyists fighting for your grow rights,...who do you think paid for that?? You?? Think again. You owe them a "Thank You", not a "fuck you"

Again,...I'm not spouting for Slater, don't work for them or anything, just very active in the community and I've been there and seen how psyched the patients are. No one will ever force anyone to participate so arguing or slandering is pointless here.

 

[HghFlyrJD1]

Not worth the energy anymore..No need.Just provide yourself and your patients and leave the rest to find there own means to care for themselves.Grow yourself,find a suitable caregiver,and or one of these centers.Dont bother with debating this one.

 

[madmikeri]

Between 1099 and the center rewording "excess" to poundage TCS can go fuck themselves! I dont understand the whole 1099 deal, 1099's are for services rendered... but the center is not paying for my service they are paying for a product... Are they going to 1099 they place they get the jars from? they buy jars and resell them just like meds so why is it different? Also TCS said they will not buy less then a 1/2lb at a time. They have some nerve asking people to openly break the law! I know they have a huge learning curve but i figured they were smarter then this, for now I will be keeping my distance! Lets hope greenleaf gets off to a better start!

 

[NoBullshit]

Regardless, $2000/lb is an insult. Sure, there may be 4 or 5 guys out there who are fine with it but 4 or 5 guys can't keep the shelves stocked. They have no meds now. Menu is lame and barren. Get rich on that. Greed will get you nowhere, especially in a biz where there is enough in the pot for everyone. I am going to venture and say that there is a big pre plan going on here. My guess would be that they , for some reason, don't want to be able to meet the demand, hmmmmm.

It's the only answer to the question of "why wouldn't a company in need of a local product, not be willing to meet the local fair market price for said product when that cost will leave ample opportunity to meet or exceed the goal?" Economics anyone??

 

[LBH]

Sorry, plant sciences major here and it was a 2 yr school,lol. Break it down for a layman bro, why would an entity do that? I don't see the motive

 

[Blowstrees]

LOL, NoBullshit, are you serious with that opinion? You'd have to be with a name like that. I feel like writing a page worth, but it would be unfair to you.

All the haters, PLEASE keep hating. It makes waking up in the morning worth it.

 

[NoBullshit]

Let me rephrase. What happens if they can't meet the publics demand? Commercial grows? No need for you little guys after that now is there?

Valid point. But..

The time it would take to draft and pass that legislation,.......and then the time for the DOH to

a. Establish protocol as to who can apply
b. Establish requirement for applying
c. process and awarding those contracts
d. GET THE FACILITIES LICENSED
e. get those grows up and producing

you've got to be kidding me. Have you seen the pace that place has operated at over the last decade??

I'll be dead and buried before they could implement something like that so to me, this point is moot,lol

Remember, full legal is right around the corner, it's going to be a Budweiser/Philip Morris game b4 u know it

 

[RB1956]

2k and front wow.. If ya don't have the money don't be in the game............................................... 2k lol...........

 

[NoBarriers]

All the haters, PLEASE keep hating. It makes waking up in the morning worth it.

The love of my family and friends makes it worth getting up in the morning. I guess we differ but statements like that don't make you folks look very "compassionate" if indeed you are speaking for them.

I'm not NoBullshit btw although the names are close...

 

[cheeba soulja]

there seem lots of hate towards slater and them wanting to pay 2k for meds.im just curious,what would you guys call a fair price?

i dont agree with slater and some of there pricing but they do have a business to run,employees to pay & lots of bills we dont even know about so 2k a elbow does not surprise me and kind of around where i thought it would be.
