How To Become A Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Vendor?

Do you think it wise to email the owners of the co-op's and ask them if they are looking for vendors?

Thanks

I'm looking into this extensively also. I had no idea it could go up to $4800 a pound. I was thinking $1800-$2500 because I figured it had to be whole sale. If its $4800 a pound I can't imagine what the retail price would be. Can probably get a good idea on the strains they look for by looking at the menu's that dispensaries post.

Do they pay in cash on the spot?

I wonder what the tax situation is with the whole thing.

Your sale should not be taxed to a club. This is a wholesale transaction and they are responsible to collect sales tax at the time of the sale to the patient. You can't tax the same stuff more than once.

where I am guys come in all the time with really good OG asking for 5200... 325per oz...its usually retailed as the top shelf $75-85 an 1/8th stuff (don't forget the clubs are supposed to keep the pricing above street level/blackmarket to discourage resale...). 4800 for reimbursement is a great deal in comparison... especially when the product is superior. its my little way of helping out the shop and forcing the the others guys to come backdown to earth some.

some clubs like to work on the "stretch program"ie "net terms" or consignment. some will pay in full at time of deleivery. some will pay a down payment and reimburse in x amount of time... each situation is different.

you do not need to pay taxes on "reimbursement transactions" as far as I know. hope this helpsyou some.goodluck

haha sir uhm 75-85 a 1/8th haha?
ive seen that a few times in some dispensaries and those are the ones i never return to
why spend up the ass like that when you can go to a fucking dealer or go on down to medco in Hollywood top top top top shelf for 60 doller 1/8th cap
Im sorry buddy but i grow some rather dank bud and not once have i ever heard of it going for that for a legit dispense.
Good for you i supose tho your making the bank i guess you must live in a bud scarce part of the state hah.
Geesh where the fuck is the compassion in those prices?thats almost forcing fixed income patients to grow their own or go to a dealer lol -.-

Anyone asking about growing I'm California should seriously enroll in oaksterdam university of Oakland CA. The prerequisite classes are Legality & Politics. This class will teach you everything you need to know about the legal nessesities of California. Also going to this college* opens up despensary jobs growing jobs etc... Use humbolt county's nutrients for all those people having hard times selling ur product!

what i have seen from me and some buddys travels is. san fran-bay area buy for low prices most of the year cuz everyone one from humbolt drops there harvest off there. sac valley gets lil better prices but if you want to make the real money jump on I 5 to LA. i heard thats where the clubs pay the big bucks

In Jan 2010, the California Supreme court issued a ruling that supercedes all limits established over MMJ. The court decision in effect negates "ALL" limits for growing for MMJ patients, and no matter where in the state you are, there is no limit to the amount of MMJ you are allowed to grow. Furthermore, the state now has to put any future grow limits into the election process to allow the people of Ca. to vote on a proposed statute and only the voters can establish any limits to growers. So if you are not aware of this court decision, start researching the topics and get up to speed. I have been growing since 1974 and although it is much easier now due to the numbers of outlets to obtain seeds,clones,etc. The game has become very difficult to play due to the shear volume of people playing. It is extreamely hard to find buyers for your products whether they are "top-shelf" or other, and nobody is paying $4k!!! for any pounds here in this state. I don't care who you are or what you grow. The top prices now are in the 2-3 K range and the products have to be perfect!! If you want to become a vendor in Cali, you had better paid close attention to the teacher in your economics class, Supply and Demand is the thing here now cause the supply is so large it has surpassed the demand ten-fold, so vending your products will keep getting more difficult. Also, dispensaries and entities like "Oaksterdame University" have become linked together and are commercially vending their products(i.e. BlueSky cafe)as well as commercially growing them. Good Luck getting started but unless you grow 50lbs of the best purple or white widow type and sell it for 1K or less you are going to get very hungry this winter! Peace, Jman

Just to mention the legal and business aspects that everyone seems to forget. Selling medical marijuana in California prevents you from making a profit so keep good books. If you're not doing that, then it doesn't matter what the price is because you'll be in jail. Read the California laws BEFORE you start any MM business.

so lets beat that dead horse, whats i look like in cali for growers now in the medical despenceries know, and as far as patient to patient is growing worth all the truble on should one not plan to grow extra meds to help fellow non growing patients for reinbursement. j

Just teh facts and personal experiances.

hello everyone
this is very good things for helping purpose of the marijuana related and its help for pepole and also gain the knowledge .

The guy above claiming $4800 is all talk! If selling by the pound LA for top notch usually $4000 if he does get $4800 the people he deals with circle is very small In NorCal where the real growers are Collectives sell top notch medicine for $300 ...... 4800/16 = $300 ZERO profit ...... 28 grams x 16 ounces x $15 -$4800 = $1920 profit if grammed out! Anyone paying more then $15 a gram or $45 an eighth is a fool for supporting the collective!

If you want to vend
1. Grow only top notch strains - know what you are growing
2. Quality OVER quantity - grow tight well trimmed solid nugs or you will smoke your crap alone
3. As long as you are a verified member just ask if they are vending today or this week
4. Have 1 gram sample ready
5. GROW INDOOR ONLY - all outdoor junk belongs on the Street or cooked for edibles..fyi though...outdoor Norcal $1300max Bay Area/Sac $1600max LA area $1800-2300 anything above that is a bonus

Any club dealing with outdoor garbage (i dont care if its an indoor strain its still garbage) doesnt deserve to be supported by its members.
Pricing Norcal collectives $200 ounce Bay Area/Sac $225-240 LA $275

If you want to supply medicinal cannabis buds to a club, its pretty straight forward.

1. grow the plants the clubs want
all you have to do is ask them "what do your patient's like," or "what do you like to have in stock?". understand most clubs expect a minimum 1/4qp (113.5 grams kids, NOT 112... there are 28.4 gs in an OZ) available.

2. grow your plants better than everybody else is growing theirs. THIS IS THE HARD PART.. "growing your plants" means not only growing, but also flushing, manicuring, & drying them properly. good luck

3. pound the pavement and start working. discreetly bring your product, properly packaged (turkey bags are nice), to the shops and ask to speak with the buyer. if your kung fu is true all you need to do is open the bag/s and the buds will do the rest.




I get $300 per ounce (yep, $4800 per LB) of for my Bubba Kush & Sour Dubble cuts... IN ADVANCE in few times due to demand from LA clubs. My phone rings off the hook when the buyers know I am clipping the buds off of the branches (I call them when i first hang the buds to let them know "5-7 days" and get their mouths salivating for my product... and get their money right, too).

i don't know where you are going or what you are growing, but either your buds suck, or you are selling yourself very short dude. you gotta fix that.

Nice, you get top dollar for bud that hasn't even been fully cured.

no comments... obviously a great post to get a vast information related to vendor.

Almost April and noone has bothered to update this thread? Looking to get rid of around 10 lbs of indoor top shelf top colas, what would you guys recommend. If anyone is wandering yea I'm legal and do have other patients I grow for but they don't need it all. Neither do I.

Sounds very genuine.

if you really need money its okay but your losing out like 100% of what you would of got in the end because they only pay wholesale and some people don't understand wholesale does not equal cheap street prices, to run a storefront you have to be be doubling up its the way of retail business and anyone saying they get much more then half of what its worth from a retail outlet is full of shit. If the dispensary are not doubling up they wouldn't be able to pay their bills and would be out of business in no time. Selling to a dispensary should be your last resort if your meds are valued at 4k a lb then the dispensary is only going to give you 2k to 2.5k.

I'm sure ur in cali but in michigan at some of the places u rent a locker and its ur responsibility to keep it stocked. u can choose to pay tax or not to. they ask u what u want to sell it for as long as it reasonable and usually take around 20% the less u sell it for the smaller percentage the take. I guess this is to help keep the prices down for the customers. And just so u know the last time I went they had 16 strains and none were sativa, so if u dont mind the long flower time try a haze. The retail on the top strains were around 60-75 an 1/8

great thread, keep it updated.
i'm curious as to how much the vendors actually profit from this, i am looking to start up a dispensary, but i hate how people are just money-hungry and trying to get rich quick .

I like this idea where is this about? I am in michigan actually never seen such a thing.

Here's a little sample of what it's like up in Washington:

Suzie Q's

She ends up giving you twice the amount you ask for. Literally, it's twice as much consistently. Either somebody thinks I'm special, or that's the way they normally do things. I'm going with the latter.

What you guys aren't getting is that 2500/lb is still MUCH GREATER than the actual market value of pot. With only a handful of patients you could be making 50k+ a year!
