I Feel That Dispensary's Are A Rip Off

you may have already bought, paid for, and insured the car, but is it not a 'supply' or 'utility'?

you may have just used a spare room in your house, but does the grow nonetheless take up a percentage of space in that house?

the hanging your lights question was leading you to think about all the hardware and gidgets that eventually get consumed during a grow.

my water and sewage bill is $65 monthly, so i am not as lucky as you are.

maintaining proper grow room conditions means preventative care, often. even so, you can still run into issues that call for reactionary care.

anyhoo, just pointing out how one can easily make the case for cost accounting. i think we both agree that about $5 a gram ($140 an ounce) i reasonable and fair to both grower and user.
word.

i also get some hash out of the deal. speaking of which...

You use a lot of words but fail to make a good point or argument. A dispensary is a business, businesses need to turn a profit or at least break even to stay in business, this means bringing in enough money to cover what is going out. Pizza hut charges more than the cost of ingredients for a pizza does that make them a rip off? And when is the last time you saw the guy at pizza hut give someone their pizza free because they couldn't afford it? I see the despensaries giving out compassion sacks= Free MMJ to those truly in need. If you don't like the dispensary don't go. If you don't like Capitalism or want to live in a Democracy please move out of the United States, we have enough people trying to ruin it already.
I don't think anyone has an issue with a business making profit. If pizza hut was charging $50 a pizza though it would be a rip off.

What country are you from? I thought dispensary's were a U.S. thing? what is an eight? Do you mean eight grams? or were you trying to say eighth, which would be three and a half grams? yeah of course pizza's are cheap if you don't include the costs of ingredients, If you didn't count all the costs of marijuana it would be cheaper but in reality pizza hut pays for cheese and tomatoes and they pay rent and pay for ovens and pay someone to make the pizza. A dispensary pays rent security and bud tenders they pay electricity and insurance and taxes and have to pay for grow equipment and lights and electricity and warehouse space- So in a fantasy world where you don't include costs maybe your right. Do they have dispensary's in communist countries? Maybe it's cheaper because they wont have to worry about costs or profits.

And if dispensary's were charging $1500 an ounce it might be considered a rip off. but the price for good Chronic has been around $400 an ounce for more than 10 years and dispensary's are part of the reason we haven't seen the price go up, in fact they have contributed to the prices falling as we have seen, unlike other things that have gone up in price by 400% in the last decade.

look guys i am not asking for a free ride i understand everything has a cost to it. just be fair about it and cut it for what it really is not for how much it has been.

READ MY WORDS THROUGHLY
Is a Dispensary giving eighths for $10 a rip off?

so what that the prices had stand still for ten years does not mean anything at all. really there is things that go up and down
i do not belong to no communist country but rather a fucked up joke democracy STATE.
about all those expenses you mention im sure selling 3 oz and maybe 100 grams a day for a month can pay all that and keep some money in that bank account over seas.

actually, beardo makes a good point for once. can you name a single thing that grows from the earth that costs less now than it did 10 or 20 years ago?

the only things that i can think of that have gone down in price are walkmans and VCRs, but they don't grow from the earth.

i have no idea what you are trying to say here.

What are you talking about? where are you from? what is your first language? your from a democracy state? what or where is that and what does it mean? you obviously don't have a good understanding of the world or how it works, forget the dispensary's for a while and go to a library.

Thanks U.B.- even a broken clock's right twice a day I guess. I remember when they used to make a big deal an ounce of pot was worth as much as an ounce of gold watched a special where they talked about it, I think it was 60 minutes. Around the time I watched that I was paying 99 cents a gallon for gas { I drove then }

credit where credit is due. you made a good point.

everything else has gone up in cost, but pot has gone down or remained the same.

The United States is not a Democracy and neither is California- Both are Republics look it up, good luck in the U.S. I only asked because by your lack of understanding of business and poor grasp of the English language I was hoping you were a foreigner and not just a product of our failing public education system.

i looked deeper in this and actually we are both wrong since.
The electoral vote for California is 55 so which ever party you would like is really needing it. But research shows that it is back and forth, but has recently been in the Democratic favor.
Its State legislature and Federal Representation is firmly in the hands of the Democratic Party but it has a Republican Governor.

Awesome thread! Healthy debate about this kinda thing is just what the cannabis world needs, especially here in So Cal where a lot of robberies/shootings have happened at the dispensaries.

All I know is that it looks like it's heading to where there will be armed guards with uzis protecting the meds at a huge super center, and it will cost like $100 an eighth...not cool.

I agree with the author of this thread to a degree- SOMETHING needs to change, an we need to come up with ideas.

I would agree with bigmoney. However, with the feds refusing to give up this assinin harassment and pay attention to what they're actualy meant to do....such as defend this country and let the states deal with their own local issues, there will be no change...and what may change won't be for the good. Reference this administration that got in on the 'change' platform.
