Girl Scout cookies are a perfect example of what you're saying. The phenos I tried south of the boarder were all miles better then the noes I've tried up here.

Agreed
Now on the flip side the smallscale guy only has a small room in the property he lives on.
He can only grow 1/1000 the number of plants.
He can only buy his supplies in smaller quantities paying 2-300 markup retail.
He risks going to jail and still finds a way to carve out a living.
At cheaper than lp prices.

How?
Because greed hasnt taken over his mind while he steps on sick people.
Not sure many of you believe in karma or not but i hear shes a bitch

Well, I think i understand some of the reasons that LP's have more cost than a guy with 4 lights:

1 the small scale grower is using property he already pays for to live on, while the LP has a lease or building costs
2 the small grower doesn't have to meet electrical, plumbing or fire code
3 he doesn't have to carry special insurance
4 he doesn't have to pay employees and take the money left over as he is the sole employee asides from trimming, pruning , or potting up
5 he doesn't have to try to coordinate a new system with a bunch of random employees who don't normally work together
6 he doesn't have to deal with paying for product testing at a lab
7 no paying taxes on employees and product sales
8 at the small growers place- 100% of people working know what the hell they are doing
9 no large scale pest or pathogen problems
10 no dealing with uncooperative HC for endless hours
11 cash flow moves faster for a small scale because product turnover is way faster
12 coordinating more people is always slower than less people
13 the small grower doesn't have to deal with stakeholders, or investors that want a say in how things are done that know not very much at all, but think they are geniuses cause they have $
14 no training dumbasses and liars who are there to spy on the company instead of actually work the plan forward
15 the small scale grower is probably a GROWER not a businessman looking for a quick buck and his knowledge or the craft is far deeper

Quoted for posterity. Don't you think GROWERS should be growing the weed? Not people who don't have a fucking clue? Just interested in maximizing profits?

hell yes! HC should be helping growers do what the do, not making a system for big business who consider growers secondary. They just don't learn, even when the proof is right in front of them. Look at Prarie Plant Systems! what a fuck up! The patients were the ones who made the system effective. Once they were up and running the Gov tries to steal their work and hand it back to big business (LP model)

Speaking of pps i was on the hc website the other day and couldnt believe they are still listed as having a current cultivation licence but they are arent allowed to sell.
Makes me wonder.
There are like 10 companies listed as only being able to grow but not licenced to sell. Whats he point in that? What is the reason they grow?
Isnt growing for non medical illegal?
