You do not know every caregiver but have the option to buy off every caregiver without consequence, whereas the caregiver takes risk of being arrested for taking donation. So you have an open market and hell yes there is a shit ton of variety around that this state has never seen before.
as for 250 a zip then your looking in the wrong place cause average price is 200 for excellent quality because let's face it the state is flooded and everyone claims to pay bottom dollar elsewhere. A lot of people actually do 175 plus don't forget all the free meds given out to patients.
yes look on the laws for dispensaries, it has to compete with street prices so patients cannot buy from them and resell on street.
finally and most importantly, caregivers need to have patients signed to them to legally receive donation for meds which takes time and money to grow. Most caregivers give free meds to there patients for having them signed and the extra meds go to dispensary so they can make extra profits. Cause again this takes time and money so would you rather patients pay 300-400 for premium because caregivers cannot pay bills from dispensary money so they charge it off to patients? Also, you are missing main facts. 10 more dispensaries??? Clearly you are not up to date with dispensaries in this state. They cannot keep doors open without buying meds from cardholders cause they IMO too low plant count with to high of customers.
many will disagree but I don't give a fuck... I will say the obvious right now. There is not one thing wrong with growing for profits. The dispensary needs more meds to keep doors open and like anything else people will be there to sell to them for those profits. In return patients who need meds can go to dispensary for them because cardholders grow them and sell to them. without cardholders there are no options for meds in a dispensary for longer than a week. You notice as is the dispensary sells in grams rather than ounces. Now take away cardholders and highest sold will be an eight. Every business needs workers/suppliers and they sell for a wholesale price and the dispensary in this case sells for retail price. In our state specifically this retail price is already low low so I cannot honestly see why every feels like they are entitled to something where another person is not.
i am a patient and caregiver IF I grow extra meds to give to dispensary for a check where they can then put on shells for patients who do not know myself then I see no harm done. And yet in our current state the dispensaries are BEGGING for more meds off cardholders cause they cannot keep up and people like yourself say obnoxious comments that do not have any thought put into them. O now back on topic take 500 caregivers who all grow 2 or more strain to give to dispensary and you have variety of meds of shelf for people who do not know or are uncomfortable meeting strangers with access to the meds. This is an easy process and should be the process and how it's run. This will be in extra income for countless people in our state and help rebuild broken economy by allowing the little guy to make something extra than his normal job which nearly keeps them afloat. There is huge customer base and can be huge supplier base and make it a community action.... But instead people will think like you and most likely vote for first legalization bill that comes up without making sure its one which helps us rather than brings in all taxes and only helps the large Fortune 500 companies all the money. Yet again all the little people who are the consumers get raped with large price tags and not allowed the same rights as the companies who can afford to pay for all the political donations for there campaigns.
You do not agree with above then look at Colorado. There first year open to public and a single company sells over 500lbs a month and then does not have enough meds to keep up. Think about all those meds being purchased from everyday people like ourselfs. It will change lifes and create a new economy. Instead they can only sell what they can grow UNTIL it is legalized federally and the big companies start shipping it in. Why? Because the little guys need to stay in there place as consumer nearly staying afloat. It makes no sense to not allow normal people the right to supply them and make something in return, but makes all the sense to allow the multiple millionaires to become billionaires.(sarcasm)
im done with topic people will never learn or think for themselfs. Majority are Sheeps to society. One day they will see the big picture and it will be too late, all laws will be in place and big companies get larger with only CEO making profits and the little people who work ass off will always just stay dollar to dollar consumers because they do not have the funds to donate to political funds.
Patient , caregiver , consumer ect. All should have the right to sell a product to a company in need just like any single store in the world. No one has the right to deny or pass judgment on that... Especially when the product will not be available without them. Just remember me when it becomes legalized and tobacco companies ship and flood market with outdoor garbage that has been sprayed with chemicals just like our food we eat is. It will be no difference and we will have no say in it. The prices will then be based off what they want not what is fair.
damn I did forget we will be allowed 1 mature plant
