I've seen a bunch of testing done through cannalytics but I tried some kush that tested at 23% THC and I was well.. disappointed to say the least. I know some people maybe sold on THC percentages but it doesn't mean much to me.
Maybe it's just my logic but I've never trusted that I would receive the same sample that a lab would. Part of it is some dispensaries do a vary poor job of handling the medicine. Not to sound like a snob but letting everyone who walks in the store touch the same bud kind of effects the quality in which it smokes...

I do lab testing for two reasons. First is to see the cannabinoid profile so I know what different cannabinoids and potency has different effects on me. The second reason is to try different harvest times and growing techniques on the same strain to ultimately produce the best meds that the particular genetics will allow.

The second reason is my driving force, just wondering if it will have any effect on the people looking to buy overages.

The market sets the price(and location and the people that are buying it) for weed not a lab test, that only shows how good or bad it is, and what's in it.
It's hard to say because one person that might give a donation of $100 for a quarter the next person only might do $80 so it could vary a lot.

The biggest part of all this is that it's new. I know mmmj in Michigan has been in existence since 08 but dispensaries and lab tested medicine is relatively new. If laws ever get changed then maybe one of us with enough money can open a "Weedmart" or "12/12" <- instead of 7-11
and have the very finest of medicines available 24/7

People get to scientific about weed. Just enjoy the taste,smell,smoke, and the feeling of being stoned. I'll be honest I don't care about lab tests and all that. Just roll me a big ol joint, give me a light, and let me smoke that shit. I'll let u know how good it is... Lol

Seems you've only been growing for a few months, remember. Your poor patient dont' know better. I do agree there is a lack of good meds in the saginaw area.

If you are growing 12 plants for a patient and you harvest 2 times a year....(3 or 4 is probably more like it) and you average a zip per plant(that is low end, should be like 1.5-2) that still comes out on the low end of 12 plants times 2 harvests = 24 zips...so what is so hard about giving the patient zip a month ..they get half an you keep half?

Maybe there yield sucks and you need to smoke 2 joint or more to get the job done! Even with one light one zip a month for some who needs it (and makes it legal for you to have) shouldn't be a challenge. There should be a patients guidebook to avoid amateur or greedy work. Lots of beginners here. If I should become a caregiver I would come up with an agreement based on what it takes to produce and keep producing meds, I'm sure there would be lots of free of damn near free. It takes skill and effort to guaranteed quality month after month. As soon as you can grow good enough to call it medicine the yield will follow. I remember only getting a half pound off of a light and I wouldn't have shared for free then, but it wasn't medicine at that quality either!

I don't see how you can be out of meds with your math skills and know-how......but I jsut read you are and not really friendly when you're out either. it's all speculation until it's real life and then it's different-every time. I don't want to be a dick but had to respond and now I am going to bow out of this thread beacuse like it was said earlier this is the kind of thread that attracts fights pissing moaning and arguing pointlessly. Not what I'm about.

Well my last harvest was last halloween ..been living off that for almost a year...should have kept a lil more but money was tight , and I moved here this summer...that will never happen again..never run myself that low again.. but my math is fine..lets say ya veg for 6 weeks and flower for 9..that is 15 weeks 3 times per year..should not be hard to pull those numbers...a lot of what Abe says is true though..people are greedy in this country and one zip a month is very fair imo..that is a quarter a week..plenty of smoke for doing nothing and taking no risk...

there is a bit of a pink elephant in our grow room,imho.. or maybe a grey elephant? I kinda look at patients falling into two catagories. A:Fucked up enough to get free meds. B:wants good herb at a good price,and jumped through the legal hoops. Part of the price when B deals with me is helpin out A... don't like that then catagorie C: as in C ya,bye bye

I'm on board with an oz a month free. But the problem with that lies at having patients that want the free oz but will not take any more than that per month. That wouldn't work with me so well. They need to at least try to help cover the expenses. But even then there should be enough left over to help out other caregivers, or go to a market or whatever to make ends meet.
Luckily my patient doesn't stop medicating all day.. One oz a month is only a weeks supply for him. He gladly donates me $250 after that. And he brought his ballast and hood over for me.
