I don't know about other peoples experiences with alibaba but I ordered a simple 1 liter boiling flask from them and it took nearly 2 months to get it. I don't buy from them any more.

No... I don't. We got a notice from the State that we're producing 32 times the amount to what gets consumed/sold. Currently, we have around 7200 growers. In order for us to get to a viable market, we would have to get down to around 225 growers.... not gonna happen. Eventually, weed will be as cheap as vegetables. Too easy to make yourself, and as a patient for $50 a year, you can have on hand, 6 flowering, and 6 vegging per person, per household. For instance.. There's me and my wife, and my parents that have a home on my property with the same address. So, we can have 24 flowering, and 24 vegging at any given moment. On top of the legal commercial grows, the patients are selling thier excess to the BM. ... Current legal grow prices are $300-$800 a lb. The cost to produce a lb. including electricity, water, nutes, etc. is about $500 a lb. So, if you spend 5 months producing 30 lbs, you might make $9000 in a best case scenario. ... or lose money. .... IF you can move it. You'd be better off flipping burgers without the headaches of reporting, inspections, failed tests and losing the whole crop, and working your ass off for nothing.

Sorry to hear that, not a promising sign for the future when the prices for top shelf indoor drop below 1000 even as a best case scenario, dont know how a craft grower could survive on those kinds of margins. So basically the market out there has collapsed to the point where only the absolute FIRE even moves/ has value and everything else just sits? I remember reading that yalls medical program was pretty wide open, do you think things would have been better if they had included some sort of limit on the size of facilities, either plant count or canopy sq/ft when they wrote the law? I really thought OK had done a good thing with their program being pretty reasonable in terms of licensing fees and taxes etc, so sad to see it turning out like this. Thank you for all the info and sorry to hear about your situation, hope the future holds better days.

Bottom line is.... they wrote the law with NO limits on how many licenses you can have, no canopy limit, no limits at all... For $2500 a year. That's why we had every grower from OR, CA, CO, WA all come flocking to our State. Their States have limits, and fees are much higher. We also had every Asian come set up hoop house everywhere trafficking illegal grows out of State, human trafficking, and other drug trafficking. Im glad we did it. Things turned out fine. Im only working 1 day a week, mostly retired, and debt free. The wife got a killer work from home job, so we good!.
