Its the industry. Most that are in this business have no knowledge or business sense. Large untaxed cash income fueled by stoners who jump from one boiler room scam to another. Not many honest clubs out there. Quite honestly I'm glad garden grove got shut down. Only a handful of legit shops that got muscled by the bigger ones.
No one should ever have to leave product on consignment unless you own the damn place.
Bottom line, don't consign. Never. You are better off taking a point for cash in hand. If you have quality shit, you have MORE leverage. If you don't, grow quality shit or pack it up. There's already too many mediocre growers feeding the greedy dispensaries with free herb.
