We understand that price is a major barrier for people with low income or large prescriptions. We get a lot of requests for low income subsidies, which is something we have been talking about implementing in the near future. That being said, we don't have anything in place at the moment, but our prices are some of the lowest out there at the moment, and we expect they will drop as more competition comes online and as the industry becomes better capitalized.
Yes, unfortunately we cannot sell derivatives like oils, hash, and tinctures. If the laws change though, it's something we would offer right away.
We've been getting that question a lot, and the answer is no. We were unaware of the Greenleaf Medical Clinic when our designer created our website's theme. I admit, there is some distinct similarities between the websites and the logo. We're actually considering re-branding ourselves as a result.
Oh really? I thought you guys were actually the same place. Sounded like a genius business move, prescribe people weed, then sell them your product lol.
Hi german1,
Thank you Raider,
I don't blame you for considering re-branding. Perception is reality.
Hi again, sorry for the delayed response. I realize that buying marijuana from a Licensed Producer will be more expensive than it would be to produce it yourself, but we have to comply with a whole host of regulations that make production more expensive and time consuming. As I stated in one of my previous posts, we believe that, over time, market forces will drive down the price of medical marijuana purchased from Licensed Producers.
We feel like that the lack of derivatives is a problem for a lot of people who want legal access to these products but are stuck buying them on the black market. Making products like oil and shatter, ect. takes time, and capital investment, and requires the use of solvents and a degree of knowledge. Making derivatives is not something that most people could easily or safely make at home, and it is unfortunate that Licensed Producers cannot supply that for them.That right there is a problem!! For YOU!
Only because patients can make for themselves. What they do with their medication is up to them once they have it. Making a concentrate out of your self made medication is what it is all about after all. Making the best medication you can take in the ways in which you want to medicate.
Having to buy something off of an LP for 10 times the price or just 'more' is well, craziness!!!!?????
Not to mention that we'd have to destroy our medication that we were allowed to grow FIRST and then buy the same amount(not same quality or strain) off of an LP.
I'm sure you see the backassward ideals there too.
Lots of BS on both sides of the fence and I wish you only the best. Unless you end up fucking patients, then you can pppppphhhhhtttttt. Just Business!
lol
.50 cents/gram for something that could be made into good meds that are illegal. How sad is that.
I think one of the LP's already sell their trim to patients and their bud to the black market lol They only show crumbs for med pictures...kinda scary.
Isn't that going to be a fine balancing act in that you can't really grow in anticipation of customers, but you obviously can't stockpile either? I for one am all to aware that patience is key to growing. The minute you put out a sub par product...you're done. And since you are small ( although I still don't know how you define that) that could be problematic couldn't it? I think you will find that people will be more willing to deal with a small outfit rather than a large one. If and when I have to go the LP route, I'll be going for the smallest because I don't want to be a just another number in someone's books.
Heh, somehow I doubt that BC hydro is interested in donating electricity to Greenleaf Medicinals, but I get your point.
Juicing is definitely not something an LP can supply. The regulations limit us to dried marijuana only.
We can grow in anticipation, and we can stockpile. The stockpile limit is set by the government and is based on the security level you build to. Level 7 allows for around 100KG in storage, and level 11 allows for over 10,000kgs.
I'm not sure what you mean. What option?
