The part where you state you will then expect money in return, that rather invalidates the use of the term donate and quite clearly indicates that you are simply selling drugs.

In fact in my view it makes it worse than simply saying your selling weed to a dispensary, to me, the whole donate but pay me thing, it makes you sound like someone simply exploiting a system for personal gain. But then again, that's what mmj is about 99% of the time, getting rich. It's little different to big pharma really. Ah well.
Do you whine about grocery stores charging for the food that sick people eat, do you complain about clothing stores not giving away things for free? Many of the dispensaries here will discount and yes even donate marijuana to patients that are physically sick, but that is a small percentage of the people that actually go to dispensaries.

And thinking that all the people involved are getting rich or trying to get rich shows that you have little experience with anyone who grows and your uninformed opinion comes from sensationalistic tv shows . Is there even medical marijuana where you live or are you just casting aspersions from thousands of miles away?

s been said alot on these forums... Especially in our area. The clubs will low ball you left and right. Good luck getting 2800 an lb for top shelf. They charge alot for product but do NOT pay for it themselves. You are far better finding some patients to hook up directly and cut them a fair price. Just my 2cents. Most clubs grow for themselves and vending to them is a nightmare.
Of course I am not growing professionally. If its your source of income you need to make connections with a business owner that is honest. I wish you luck
Its gone a bit similar over in Spain since the start of autocultivation clubs i think. Though its funny, not many people grow top shelf because the prices offered are soooo low, like a joke. So people just get the crappiest soil, some hesi chemical fertelizer y a tomar por culo. Why the fuck bother when the club will pay 2200 to 2800 a kg anyways? Oh yeah weed is always chopped early, thats the norm!! While the clubs grow what they call topshelf themselves or contract growers to do it. Then dealers have no market for top shelf really because for better weed people just go to clubs.The old timers tell me the clubs have completely raped the weed scene in Spain, I know a few people who are tottally anti clubs over here, im beggining to understand why.
When i first arrived here a club showed me the conditions and shit to grow for them legally and it was like absolutely BOGUS. A lot of work and stress, plus youre name on a goverment 'watch' list, random visits by 2 different police forces and letting the council know where it is. I cant remember what kind of compensation was discussed but it was fucking silly for amount of work not to mention the obvious.

I prefer using certain term when disclosing such public statements about my intent to do something that is still deemed taboo by some people who could use such info to possibly persecute/ hold you accountable, but thanks for adding your constructive feedback! :clap:

Doesn't CA law state something somewhere about excess meds can only legally be "donated" to dispensaries....?[/QUOTEoh ok gotcha
oh ok gotcha

The fact is unless the government can get the cash everything is illegal:)
Children were busted last year for operating a lemonade stand without a permit and the parents were held accountable.

Lol the growers must get paid for the meds they supply to the clubs.. everyone hates the term medical marijuana but why ?because most of us are faking ? So what!! alot of people are really sick and if anything it eases the pain and in some cases pain killers are replaced with bud ..and it needs to be grown that takes time money and skill ..... after you invest in a crop you dont give it away the person giving you money will make two to three times what he paid and the patient has access to meds ! Its a farming job and the law was written that way any other way would be breaking the law .. people say feds dont give a fuck you are right thats why they wont come out here for my few plants..any other way is against the law i rather not break the law twice ......

I took it to one club the asshole wanted to give me 400 bucks a lb...i took it a mile down the road and got 1380 for a lb of some outdoor.... some places will be fair they are a dime a dozen tho.. i had to give up personal info including my social .
Wow, just fucking wow. Indoor or out, it is not worth my time for less than 2500/lb...and I'm being generous.

Growers are way underpaid...we provide half the entertainment at most venues while the Rolling Stones(other half)etc rake in millions.

Time for a good old-fashioned cannabis drought.

Seriously, mj possesion in itself is not considered a criminal offence anymore. It's when they can prove conspiracy is when you go to jail.
So no matter what, if you get popped in Canada, don't involve your buddies. If you do you'll get locked up.
The best thing to say and I always do, I found it.
Even the guy popped with the three story underground never got jail time. But he did recieve a lifetime ban on having electricity, in any province or territory.
It really all depends on how you are classified.
If you've got a cheese the price is usually $2k. If you are selling to whoever it can go up to $3.2k. As far as I'm concerned if people want it they can come get it. And they always do.
Here's the new laws!!
Possession is still a crime in Canada! Are there exceptions to the rule? Probably, but I'm sure the guy had a lawyer lol. You always say you found it!!! How many times you been asked?? Lol. Oh and conspiracy is a mute point when they find it growing in your basement lol. Don't want to get off topic here but I get a bit upset when I read this stuff. People need to be aware of whats happening here! 6 plants gets you 6 months in jail!!!! I make some oil and its a year. These are mandatory minimum's!! We need to change this!!!!
The federal legislation (Bill C-10) includes the following new measures:

Mandatory Minimum Sentences for Schedule II Drugs
(CANNABIS AND MARIJUANA)

Trafficking: 1-2 YEARS minimum

Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking: 1-2 YEARS minimum

Importing/Exporting: 1 YEAR minimum

Possession for the Purpose of Exporting: 1 YEAR minimum

Production of 6 - 200 plants: 6 MONTHS minimum
With Health and Safety Factors: 9 MONTHS minimum

Production of 201 - 500 plants: 1 YEAR minimum
With Health and Safety Factors: 18 MONTHS minimum

Production of more than 500 plants: 2 YEARS minimum
With Health and Safety Factors: 3 YEARS minimum

Production of oil or resin: 1 YEAR minimum
With Health and Safety Factors: 18 MONTHS minimum

What are these health and safety factors?
I always 'find' my weed when asked:)
Trafficking is not possesion and on first offence you will recieve a three month sentence and will be released in two months if you don't loose your "good time". If a person can get on the ground crew within 1/6 of their time that person can apply to classification for an early release.
Possesion for the purpose is one of those very few charges where you are guilty until proven innocent. I have been charged with this also. What I did and not involving my friends of course JP'ed a sworn fact stated by myself that the weed was entirely mine and I hadn't any intentions of sharing it with anyone. The charge was dropped to possesion.
There's no way I'd get involved in exporting mj:)
Find an old brewery that is no longer used and set up the countries largest ever mj grow operation:)

It's not so all cut and dried. Like good old mj:)
I have been busted several times. On all ocasions over the legal set limits but through sworn statements and not involving other people had them dropped to possesion. First time in 1978 I had a qp. I recieved an absolute discharge.
These case files set presetants. You cannot give out harder sentences, giving circumstance. It could be said as prejudism.
The only thing the courts are truly concerned with is the safety of the public.

Have you been busted since the laws were changed? I believe fall of 2013 it passed. I have not heard of any production charges since and yes I am sure minimums will be challenged but not for precedents as the criminal code has been changed! Previous sentencing no longer applies. What will be challenged is the charter, and its cruel and unusual punishment I would hope!!! God forbid its me lol.

Never heard of that strain. You might be lucky to get 2500$. Only stuff I've seen going 2800$ is top shelf gsc or other in strains. Most clubs already grow for themselves. Walk In there and ask 3200$ they'll laugh. Unless you have connections they probably wont buy it.
I agree. It's springtime now so all the NorCal stuff has been absorbed. You MIGHT be able to get $28 for an OG. MIGHT. but I have had shops tell me they donate $2500 for top shelf OG so you know if you don't have that you gotta take less... that was in November tho. I believe it in november during the flood from 'up north' but not now. now its all indoor and that's worth more to transfer for donation than outdoor or light dep. not $900 a Q tho. they will laugh in your face.

another thing i'm always worried about, is then YOU are in THEIR books, and if the feds really want you, under the separate sovereign rule, THEY CAN SEND YOU TO FEDERAL PRISON, if things change with our government, it's not likely, especially considering the proliferation of LEGAL pot in other states, but they could, if we get a different president with a bug up his ass.
plus the paper trail of taxes too.
I have about a KG of EXTRA killer herb just sitting in jars, because i'm too paranoid/careful to sell it with a PAPER TRAIL.
And like you, I'm a legal prop 215 cardholder in CA, but I don't know.... course I've been growin since the mid 90's when they had infrared choppers, and pg&e informants...
so maybe it's just me being "old-school" I still treat it like a schedule one (corrected cuz i'm a jackass), federally controlled substance. WHY? because it STILL is.
SB 420 is the county card program. I have it too.
I also have a mutual benefit corp non-profit collective and two lawyers. hobbyist growers like us are way too small for the feds. they want the 500 light grows or the outdoor grows on federal land. they are not gonna fuck with some guy with 99 plants. cost too much in resources for them to bother. as far as a different president, I'm not worried. the tide of public opinion is inevitably turning towards legalization. one thing about politicians is they hate to look stupid or appear to be on the wrong side of history.
most shops don't make vendors join their club. really, the law is that in order to donate to you, they need to join YOUR club. a club is not supposed to transfer/buy from patients. most ppl don't know the law tho and they don't want to join my collective for that same reason (the paper trail). they stack everything in their favor, the clubs. bastards.

that being said, if it is good enough and the supply is low enough, you can get a good ticket for your excess meds.

whatever you do, don't use the words 'buy' and 'sell'. its 'donate' and 'transfer', to be in accordance with the law.

I would offer to vend it for you guys but ... nobody trusts anybody

Only douches get douche chills haha

What kind of feedback is that..

So I should get shit on for all my time and labor while the "compassionate clubs" charge you out the ass for just reselling it?!

They will likely resell it for $50-60 an eighth, $110 quarters, $400 oz

I can only donate it for what they are willing to offer.. that is why I am going to try and contact as many dispensaries as possible.

What do you think is fair? Have you been in these shoes?

top shelf most places is $300 an ounce so they will pay you no more than $150/zip
$150 x 16 = $2400
