Can we get a list of folks NOT to deal with in the Arizona Marijuana Business??

So now you are just giving crap to patients, grown by novices that you claim is testing around 20%, waiting to release the good medicine when you have a dispensary license... Nice man, really helping people like you suggest.
Until you are honest everyone will try to defeat your claims.. Keep spitting more conflicting psychobabble bs.

re-read posts on costs, not kidding - you're welcome to see the books. 1 - anything sold by a company is going to cost more than doing it yourself - buy a carrot vs grow one. 2. the government has really stuck it to patients with the tax off the top. 3 - no landlords means many dispensaries will need to buy or build their own and recoup that expense as well.

ANYBODY can come visit and i'll be glad to share the books - dispensaries are not going to make a ton of money in this state - this is not cali or co

So then why haven't they come in to teach these caregivers how to grow proper medicine? For a business man your ethics are screwed up.

I have heard you openly say to Bill Hayes you would not support the 25 mile rule, are you a presidential candidate because you sure like to flip-flop

bill hayes wanted to challenge the constitutionality of the rule, something i believe would be a total waste of money. what judge is going to say the rule is violating someone's basic right to grow?: bill hayes was dreaming. not to be toooo repetitive, the only way to change the 25 mile rule is with another citizen's initiative. and i'm willing to help. why is this so hard?

Where was your testing done? Can you show me pictures of these so called 20% THC strains? Hell, can you even name them for me? I will come meet you when I am back in town and show you what Medical Cannabis is suppose to be. If you are going to rip patients off you better have the best damn medicine in town.

Just because it is sold by a company does not garner a reason for a outrageous price markup...
I have been at the table when a group of real cultivators laid out a plan to produce pounds at $1500 for a dispensary client that provides a facility....
Those are serious horticulturalist, who have done this in multiple states, those prices are already shitting on your operation.

I hope they get in touch with you and show you the light...

Still never addressed the exploding CO2 tanks.... Makes no sense with commercial cultivators
Never Never land is if you selling garbage at top-shelf prices, the industry will slap you in the face sooner than later...
The thrivers on here are the real growers AZ is in need of. Not self entitled idiots...

Kewl, "Flamer" No WAY are you Gerald Gaines... Grow some hair with all that money...

I can't believe 500 an OZ still lol... this is a plant that grows wildly without any attention to it. Oh my gawdddd...

I'm done reasoning with this scam artist. Done. Good luck arguing this one out guys, he's not gonna come with anything real. Don't bother trying to show him your meds.. would you honestly work with someone like this?

He has seen my meds before and his little puppet, Anton the Medicine man, offered me $3800 a pack. I told him that I would never sell him to him and let my meds be sold at retail. If patients wanted their meds they could come straight to me and get it at what I consider compassionate. I would like to show him my meds again...last year I didn't have near the genetics I have now. Just want to rub it in his face what he can have. And for that matter, NEVER GROW!

no one gets dispensary costs - here's one reasonable business plan's estimate for the COST of mmj during the relevant quarter. no dispensary is going to break even until 2014, and then it gets regulated as a nonprofit and prices will drop with costs. the costs are so much higher than home growing because of regulatory requirements, security and federal tax rates at 39% of top line revenue. That tax alone is equivalent to a 67% price increase to patients: (If i have something that costs me 60, I have to sell it to you for 100, give the government 40, and break even myself)

COST PER OUNCE:

4th qtr 2012	1st qtr 2013	2nd qtr 2013	3rd qtr 2013	4th qtr 2013
500	365	330	325	320

You MUST be out of your FUCKING mind........ WHo on EARTH is going to go from paying 200 a zip from fellow PT growers, to paying 500 a zip???? Fucking NO ONE.... i for one will go RIGHT back to pain pills for my pain relief. As an Disabled IRaq Vet i simply dont make enough to medicate with 500 an ounce herb. Do you care???? Not a fucking wink id wager. You will be making so much money, you could care less about the people 215 was voted into law to help. You are what is wrong with America, you are a scummy little worm and i hope someone knocks your chicklets out for being such a waste of human life. I fucking HATE assholes like you that have the balls to even USE the word compassion and then sell 500 an ounces SHITTY weed.
You dont want to stop the 25 mile rule b/c it allows you to corner the market and make TONS of cash. You are a fucking joke and i hope you get painful ass cancer.

Why did you even come here.....GTFO and dont come back.... id rather stop smoking than be bent over the barrel by halfwit con men like you....get fucked!

The sad thing is that people like me are pretty powerless to do much of anything...... I cant afford weed at that price, and my only alternative is morphine which is the worst thing on the planet....but is free.
Without the ability to either grow my own or get some REASONABLY priced herb form a fellow grower, ill be screwed..... back on morphine or back to buying regs...
the 25 mile rule is a way for people with money to monopolize the mmj market, and a way to line the pockets of the government using dispensary agents (like this faggot) to money rape the sick and dying in AZ by forcing us to buy from their ridiculously overpriced shops.

Im so disgusted with this situation, bunch of rich fucks taking advantage of a law passed to HELP people like me.

Gerald would probably turn down experienced cultivators anyway. He wants sheeple in his organization who are blinded but whatever wealth he has...
FYI Mr Gaines, there are people/businesses in Arizona willing to grow you MEDICAL pounds at $1500+, that is the current price of three of your ounces.
Be as powerful as you think you are and do all the patients a favor by networking.

I do not know many REAL compassionate people gardeners who would get into business with you. ESP. knowing that you would still charge $500 an ounce for a product you could potentially be paying $1700 max after all expenses are accounted for.

Your supposedly a business man and CFCC business model suggest large volume production, No?

Welcome to America, land of free enterprise with a system set up to get the rich richer. Other states have dispensaries with medicine that is comparable and affordable and on par with what home growers are producing. Some patients will get medicated by their network of private growers and some patients feel safer and okay paying more and going to a fancy dispensary.

I can go to the local swap meet and buy a $5 t-shirt with a logo that was made in China, or I can go to a fancy dept. store and buy a t-shirt with a designer label, also made in China, for $50....it's all relative to the story line that goes with the shirt, and what you're willing to pay for it.

I'm new here, but have been lurking for over a year. I see some some good growers, some beginners, some players, prolly a few govt agents, but the bottom line is there is enough patients for everyone and people will still buy Mexican Swagg, they'll still buy junk from a beginner grower, they'll still buy awesome meds from the amazing dialed in grower and they'll still buy good, bad or awesome meds from co-ops or dispensaries.

I don't think anyone is buying any of this snake oils bullshit. Its all about the numbers there is no justification for ever charging 500 per ounce. This jackass does not answer all all he questions being asked and the ones which he does answer are bullshit. You don't want to change the 25 mile rule because that's what the law is. Are you fucking kidding me? Since when is maintaining the status quo a reason for inaction? Why did we make marijuana legal at all with your shithead manipulative reasoning? If we could change the law of the land to make medical marijuana legal then why can't we go one more step further and make it more access able to those which really need it? Your so full of shit and are a parasitic scumbag.

500.00 a ounce????? WHat a butt wipe!

$1250 a month for a patient to get their 2.5 Oz??? I consider myself well-off, I am probably no Gerald Gaines by wealth standards but these costs make no logical sense. $1250 a month is more than most of the 30000 patients monthly mortgage/rent.
That is fucking CRAZY. So basically people need to possibly be late on some form of payment just to receive medicine that makes their day to day life the slightest bit more manageable. $500 an ounce even with the costs to run your facilities included is a killing and you know it.

YOU ARE NOT GROWING EFFICIENTLY!

I get it though, rape people in the MMJ program's infancy when there is little to no real competition and the market is sautrated with patients who are uneducated about medicine. Then when dispensaries come around the plan is the same but cost will be a little cheaper. His quarterly price breakdown never lists an ounce under $300, is that a JOKE? Are these prices based off the compassion clubs around town, where is the real market value/assessment.

Patients if you see Gerald Gaines make sure to help jump start his day with a swift kick to the groin area.
And for all the people blinded by a "free" place to grow, Wise the fuck up. You are the ones who promote this abhorrent practice.
