I live in California and have a medical card. I'm getting into growing and I was wondering if someone with some knowledge could give me some basic info. Could you just go into a club with a sample and ask them if they want to buy from you? How much are clubs looking for, for example are they looking for just a few pounds every crop or much more than that, like in the 20-30 range? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Don't post if you don't know what your talking about please. And be honest, if it's a shady, cutthroat business like I think it might be, than tell me. Thanks.

It is fairly easy to sell at the clubs. Most of them are pretty picky and dont want to pay much.

If you have a lot to get rid of then it might be worth it. And it also depends what are you are in.

clubs are going to pay minimum dollar for your medicine. the dispensary here will buy a pound for a max of 3k. my knowledge of dispensaries is limited to the one i go to weekly, but all i did was get to know the owners well and then ask. typically they will only buy "medical" strains. so even if your grapefruit skunk is way stronger than their misty, they wont buy your gfs because it hasnt been proven to treat ailments.

If you want to supply medicinal cannabis buds to a club, its pretty straight forward.

1. grow the plants the clubs want
all you have to do is ask them "what do your patient's like," or "what do you like to have in stock?". understand most clubs expect a minimum 1/4qp (113.5 grams kids, NOT 112... there are 28.4 gs in an OZ) available.

2. grow your plants better than everybody else is growing theirs. THIS IS THE HARD PART.. "growing your plants" means not only growing, but also flushing, manicuring, & drying them properly. good luck

3. pound the pavement and start working. discreetly bring your product, properly packaged (turkey bags are nice), to the shops and ask to speak with the buyer. if your kung fu is true all you need to do is open the bag/s and the buds will do the rest.


I get $300 per ounce (yep, $4800 per LB) of for my Bubba Kush & Sour Dubble cuts... IN ADVANCE in few times due to demand from LA clubs. My phone rings off the hook when the buyers know I am clipping the buds off of the branches (I call them when i first hang the buds to let them know "5-7 days" and get their mouths salivating for my product... and get their money right, too).

i don't know where you are going or what you are growing, but either your buds suck, or you are selling yourself very short dude. you gotta fix that.

I'm looking into this extensively also. I had no idea it could go up to $4800 a pound. I was thinking $1800-$2500 because I figured it had to be whole sale. If its $4800 a pound I can't imagine what the retail price would be. Can probably get a good idea on the strains they look for by looking at the menu's that dispensaries post.

Do they pay in cash on the spot?

I wonder what the tax situation is with the whole thing.

where I am guys come in all the time with really good OG asking for 5200... 325per oz...its usually retailed as the top shelf $75-85 an 1/8th stuff (don't forget the clubs are supposed to keep the pricing above street level/blackmarket to discourage resale...). 4800 for reimbursement is a great deal in comparison... especially when the product is superior. its my little way of helping out the shop and forcing the the others guys to come backdown to earth some.

some clubs like to work on the "stretch program"ie "net terms" or consignment. some will pay in full at time of deleivery. some will pay a down payment and reimburse in x amount of time... each situation is different.

you do not need to pay taxes on "reimbursement transactions" as far as I know. hope this helpsyou some.goodluck

I'm planning on moving to Cali soon and trying the same thing and doing business with the dispensaries until i eventually open up my own and supply myself. just wanted to keep an eye on this thread

This is all good information. I would suggest reading up on all the recent case law and guidelines (e.g. Jerry Browns 8/08 guidelines) to check out viability. My understanding is that collective groups operating under a non-for-profit basis are NOT tax exempt, so there must be some mechanism for taxation.

So if you have your medical card in CA and you approach the dispensaries like stated above there should be no legal trouble you can get into being that you are within the legal limits of personal grow amounts of cannabis???? I just want to fully understand the right way to do it.

Thanks

If the Illinois “Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act” (Senate Bill 1381) passes, grow9000 will need vendors.
