Some more gooders, check out my new wheels:
$3 / g ,,,,yikes. I don't think our local CC would like to see the LPs dropping to our prices.I'm with hippy until LPs bring it down to 3$ a gram, if uruguay can be at 1$ I don't feel we need to be at 10$
Uruguay just postponed everything by at least a year because they aren't even close to being ready. Anyone can say they can produce for $1/gram while still adhering to strict QA and tracking requirements, actually being able to do it is an entirely different story. I'll believe it when I see it.I'm with hippy until LPs bring it down to 3$ a gram, if uruguay can be at 1$ I don't feel we need to be at 10$
But where's the tax revenue at $1 per gram? $1 per gram might work if it was 100% legal but then no way would it be $1 as the the gov and provinces would add tax to it. Look at the excise taxes on cigarettes now, they are going to want their money and they will tax the shit out of it to get it.Uruguay just postponed everything by at least a year because they aren't even close to being ready.

Tax revenue isn't the main goal over there, it's undercutting and eliminating the black market and drug trafficking that have become issues for Uruguay.But where's the tax revenue at $1 per gram? $1 per gram might work if it was 100% legal but then no way would it be $1 as the the gov and provinces would add tax to it.

It's only legal to buy government weed, or to produce a limited amount for yourself. There is no government weed yet, and I don't think it's actually legal there yet either.....not until the program is fully ready I think?So it's legal in Uruguay but there is still a black market? That doesn't make sense.
They are not selling it yet but it is to be sold for 1$ a gram when the government starts selling it. The 1$ a gram is to undermind the black market. Even when having conflict with law your not subject to criminal charges only fines from 2$ to 87$.It's only legal to buy government weed, or to produce a limited amount for yourself.

Still got your back up a bit I see. Well Devil any consumer enjoys choice. CC's are very much like stores where people can see and handle the product a bit to see if they may want to buy it. I like the CC model because it's basically a store. Maybe some day these CC's could buy from LP's and show that stock. I'm cool with that as long as the patient is still allowed to grow if they want or can. Or have a friend or relative maybe do the growing.One thing that I find interesting is that no patients are criticizing the barrage of "CC's" (I use that term very loosely in reference to many of these new outfits) that have been popping up and are charging the same prices as LP's without all of the overhead that LP's experience. LP's are all evil, but buying bulk BC bud at $1000/lb and selling it for $8+/gram to the sick under the guise of a 'compassion club' isn't? Doesn't seem so compassionate to me......
Seems to me that there is a double standard, that's all.
Ok...Don't have my back up at all, just presenting all sides to the argument. It isn't all innocent angels on one side and all greedy devils on the other. Just trying to help you see that everything isn't always in black and white my man
