The Clubs, They Lie

The prevailing local theory for why many dispensaries hold street prices is so you can't go in, buy an oz, and turn around and make a profit. Reasonable, imho.

It's also more expensive for a club to buy a pound and sell it buy the ounce than it is a street dealer. Street dealers have no overhead expenses. It costs tens of thousands of dollars a month just to keep a club open.

lol. I'm not talking about a couple of shady clubs. I'm talking about the vast overwhelming majority of clubs. As a former vendor to ~10 clubs in your city, I can say with absolute certainty that it's happening at most of the top clubs in your area.

You might very well have an impressive knowledge of strains. I'm not doubting you. But even the top professionals can pretty easily be bullshitted. With the amount of crossbreeding being done now the strains out there is now counted in the thousands, not hundreds. It's unlikely that you can distinguish all of them by looks/smell. The best in the business can't. It's pretty easy to spot GDP, trainwreck, sour D, etc. But when you get into the less common, it's not so easy.

Believe me or don't, doesn't matter but it's a fact that most clubs will switch names/pricing to move a pack that isn't selling well. Not a couple of shady clubs, most clubs. That doesn't make them bad clubs, that doesn't mean they are selling shitty weed, it doesn't mean they are ripping people off. It's just business. Most successful clubs are good at business.

if your a vendor PM me and we can talk business..and get san jose on the right track lol

Soil, hydro, indoor, outdoor.. I'm not even gonna pretend like I can tell the difference. And strains? Most people are always looking for kush or diesel or widow.. I bet they don't know the difference.

im like a cannabis connoisseur..pretty good with smells and looks of certain strains..and indoor or outdoor..hydro is kinda hard to tell though..it seems like the crystal heads get bigger but i only grew hydro once so im not to good with the dro

Throw OG after your made up name and you're really good to go.

I've been in clubs that have the same fucking bud in 2 separate jars with different names, side by side!

These 18-19 year old kids don't know the difference at all. If the budtender says it's fire or dank they're sold.

People literally go into dispensaries only interested in buying the highest price thing they can. Not just a couple of people, a lot of them, maybe a majority. Many of the most successful clubs have realized that they'll actually sell out of a product faster if they raise the price than if they lower the price. Raising the prices to sell a product faster would make no sense in most businesses, but when people come in and only consider buying the most expensive thing on the menu, it works.

SO true! on 4/20 at least twice right when someone walked in they said, ohh I only want to see the top shelf. I laughed to my self! got a gram of med grade "jack h" at one place (420 special $5 gram) and the guy said "good choice! thats the best we have, people have been passin on it because it isn't stinky!"

Yep. It's pretty easy to fool people. I'd bet I've been fooled many times and never realized it. Hell, even Oaksterdam has been selling "707 headband" as one of their featured strains and they still haven't figured out that it really isn't headband at all. lol

I can pretty easily identify the ~100 strains I've grown. But even with popular strains I've seen several times and smoked before, I'm not sure I could identify them all with a high degree of accuracy.

If someone handed me a bag of master kush and told me it was kings kush, I'm not sure I would realize it. Those are both long time mainstream strains. Now if I can't do something as basic as that, no way the average club customer will.

You guys are all talking about San Jo well dont get me wrong I am not an employee or anything but the only club in San Jo that I have found worth going to is Emerald Crossing. They grow all their own shit, and sell clones of everything they grow. Their chem-4 is the strogest sativa I'v ever had. This club has the best weed I have seen in the bay and the best part is 50 1/8 is the most expensive it gets.

check out Eko fresh..get cool with the females and they hook u up everytime (i get free joints and grams all the time even when its not a deal day) another cool one is ARC HEALING they got the best/healthiest clones i have EVER SEEN..i noticed there the ONLY club who keeps humidity domes over the plants..HARBORSIDE has good clones to and a great big selection of every and anything u can think of but there prices are kinda high and no deals really..ELEMENTAL WELLNESS is also a good club just like harborside, shit its exactly like harborside.

Nice trees in your avatar

yes sir..sour diesel and purple diesel, cali clones.

Those things are big as fuck. Outdoor yeah?

o hell yea..it's my boys garden in Mendocino i wont claim the fame lol but i helped him grow it, harvest and smoke it lol

Haha very nice.

"Dude, if people buy high priced shit at the dispensaries why is the business owner to blame?"

I agree. I see people buying shitty wine and beer all the time, and I wish they wouldnt, but I dont really give a fuck. Some people have bad palates and dont denote the taste in smoke enough, and some people don't feel (or are as sensitive to others) the differences in buzzes between different strains. And people in drier climates that have only tried mmj from that area generally don't have the palate of people that smoke in more humid areas because terpenoids and cbds and other compounds etc dry out/die off , mendecino county and san bernardino county are two worlds apart

So support http://www.regulatemarijuanalikewine.com/

That'll give everyone the choice of quality they want.

I saw this ad for a local dispensary in the May 25 issue of Kush magazine. It perfectly illustrates what I've been saying, so I had to cut it out and have my neighbor scan it for me.

(Image has been cropped to hide the club's name. I'm not a complete asshole.)

Can you spot the funny?

wow man at least use a different photo....octopus,grimdawg,woody kush and church og all the same photo. and to make it worse the "effects" of the medicine are not even close to the same.Now i understand business and renaming to move etc. but this is an out and out lie.....
