Dispensary Deals :)

Most people just assume that because we sign over patients to allow our business to exist, that we should just give away all of our product to all our patients. Although I do what I can to take care of patients, it is in fact [thanks SoCo], pretty damn expensive to keep this business running properly and legitimately. Not only is there an expense of overhead between the warehouse & dispensary including rent, utilities, insurance, security, maintenance, building upgrades, licensing, taxes, lawyers and etc.. We also run a business that involves everything from manufacturer to retailer to wholesaler and to keep up with never-ending changes of vague laws. It takes a lot and as someone who helps run everything, I do what I can to give something extra &/or discounts to patients for returning and allowing me to operate. I don't really know what you guys are arguing about, but from the perspective of a private care-giver [which dispensary owner used to be], you just won't know what it takes til you are in our shoes.

We have several customers that grow their own and it's great to see someone with the patience to create their own meds, more power to them. And when they are between harvests they come in to shop. Some places charge more & are more about just the money end of it, but have a higher quality product. Some people want the deals and to be able to spend as little as possible with as many discounts as possible, but they aren't going to end up with as high of quality. I am trying to carry Apple Products at Walmart so to say. Our quality is only improving and the prices are about to drop. If you don't like the way the industry is, don't ramble on and complain about it, just do something about it and grow on your own.
I never said give everything away free.

A one time free ounce, or store credit for an ounce, isn't much to ask, when they can grow 6 plants now that you signed over...

Lol I never said give away for free but you should give me a free ounce hahaha. I give away bud for signing over n take care of patients that really need assistance or pay for fees. I guess you're saying I should give away a couple pounds or more huh. I work for free at the moment so I can build this business. Everyone wants a handout n wholesale prices on ounces it seems.

And by the way we are only allowed 3 in flowering and two ounces per patient, which means to even have a 10 pound harvest we need 80 patients. So to get to that point, in your opinion, we should give away 80 ounces aka 5 pounds and even at 25 an eighth, that means $16,000. So you think that because we are allowed 3 plants in flowering that we can have the weight of 3 plants in flowering. Do some research and do some math before you ask for a handout...

Not to mention that it is Illegal to give product away at a dispensary.
But since a lawyer wasn't factored into the expenses he wouldn't know that and end up in jail.

You won't find me asking for a handout but I would like to know just what you charge for an ounce, signed patient price and non-patient price?

Yeah I have no problem helping people out, chances are the ones that don't ask for it end up getting taken care of. Although we can end up with lower quality and sell it for cheaper like $160, instead I try to stick with higher quality meds and price range depends on top or bottom shelf, but our ounce range goes anywhere from 200-250. Right now we have Shoreline, Cali-O, Pure Power Plant, Flo, Elephant, Pineapple Express, Grandaddy Purp, Big Blue & Alaskan Tundra. Once it's cured in a couple days, there will be more Purple Urkle & Bruce Banner #3. Our next harvest includes: -Purple Wreck -The Void -Plush Berry (Indica Pheno) -More Elephant -Cataract Kush -Banana Kush -More Bruce Banner #3 -LA Confidential - More Purple Urkle -Bubbleberry -Killer Queen -Chemdawg 4 -More Pineapple Express -Qrazy Train

I have about 27 genetics amongst mother plants, patients get bud for signing over with us, cheaper prices on bud, hash, keif, glass and if you're here pretty often I'll make sure to take care of you. I'm not trying to have a battle between dispensary & patients, I'm just glad an industry like this exists and that we can be in business like any other business.

seems reasonable, too bad I can't even stand straight bud anymore, I'm a wax kinda guy. you have some nice strains though.

Thanks man, I appreciate it, yeah I usually make Bubble Hash myself for the shop, but we do have some kill BHO at the moment. Well people build quite a tolerance and I always try n sell people on hash. I compare it to having to drink beer or liquor, less is more with some nice hash compared to smokin bud. Just depends on preference if you want more flavor with potency or just straight THC.
