LOL @ being "entitled" to anything.
The only thing patients are "entitled" to is whatever they can afford and figure out to grow themselves.
After that its whatever $$$ they come up with to buy top shelf meds.

Nice pre-98 bud shot, any smoke/grow report info?
Not to be condescending but I know who will be charging 60+ and eighth at their
potential dispensary.
FYI patients are entitled to real medicine, if they cant afford it, you are not producing it right and there is a lack of compassion. Most likely the people who feel that they are being taken advantage of will walk right out the door, the other unsuspecting patients may pay that price, you can thank the compassion clubs for that.. (Just trying to inform not attack..)
If disp. owners are buying it outright from another non-profit then I could see higher prices, but not if you are growing in-house.
Our AZ hopefuls group will have a $45 dollar cap (written into their financial plan), that is plenty because they will have patient volume and grow their own. That will decimate competition that maybe has similar medicine for $60+
A dispensary that has serious cultivators should be pulling a gram at a cost around +/- $3-$5 to produce including nutes and electricity and that is with a very low plant count.
Put it this way, I have the money to buy $60 eighths but out of consciousness I very rarely ever spend a tank of gas on bud, even at an established dispensary. In overgrown states chances are you could go down the street to the next club and find those same med$ for less. For those who have not noticed, Arizona is broke... That $60 dollar stuff, unless you are poised to run a shop in Old Town/PV because property prices are insane, will have a very select market. And in AZ we already know that many of the genetics will not constitute "top shelf."
Im a caregiver and I give my patients a half for
free every month. (I dont ask them for donations for it either.)
