Are MMJ patients paying illegal prices?

Umm I don't think she has a business selling MJ bro. Im pretty sure she has some legitimate business providing some kind of service or product. I could be wrong about it, but to me it looks like you kinda stuck your foot in your mouth.

ok.. ill play.

my advice to you is to GET A REAL FUCKING JOB and stop trying to get rich off of sick people.. People like YOU make ME sick(er).. you say your an "entrepreneur".. Well I call you a glorified drug dealer.. If you were truly an "entrepreneur" you could and would make money other ways besides trying to bilk every cent you can from sick people.. I dont think you have ever done anything to make as much money as you do "selling MJ".. Thats why YOU are the one that thinks prices shouldnt drop below a certain price for MMJ.. If you want to make your money, then continue selling to your rich friends and/or your local high school kids.. Im sure they wont mind paying your prices.. But you should leave the MMJ comminity alone as your nothing but a greedy,lazy wannabe buisnessman ( err, woman ) that has no other buisness skills other than growing some weed and selling it for a 10000% profit..

your turn

The numbers may be little off but they are a good average and very close.
Ok let’s assume your room is 4*6 with 2000watts and flowering is 77 days. You want to provide a high grade medication that is organically grown in a controlled environment. Let’s assume that you are a master grower and can get 4 dried lb. in this area and with this lighting.
Expense
Lease let’s say 800 per month
2053
Electricity (fans, cooling, pumps, lights, etc)
288
Nutrients let’s say Botanicarepro bloom, liquid karma, and cal-Mag,
150
Plants ready to flower 78
1560
Supplies ph control and other control , pots, etc
200
Water
90
Labor let’s say 1hr per day at 20 bucks per hr
770
Labor to finish trim let’s say 4hr per dried lb.
320
Filters fans other stuff that needs replacement
300

5731 dollars total


So this averages out to around 57 dollars per ounce. Now let’s not forget that the industry is still illegal under federal law, so do you think you might want to be prepared to pay legal bills? You might think about making a little for yourself, I mean just a little for yourself.

4lb is 64 ounces, 64 ounces times 25 dollars is 1600 dollars. That’s a 4131 dollar loss. Even if you take out the ready to flower clones the loss is still 2571 dollars, but then we would have to add the cost of seeds, vegetation, cloning, and vegetating the clones back into the total loss. Hell let’s take out the lease; you still have a loss of 518 dollars. Let’s say it’s a labor of love take the labor out (our still getting paid for the trim work), there you go you just cleared 252 dollars.
Realistically you will need more space, more time, more electricity, well more everything to produce 4 lb. of quality medical marijuana. You will probably be lucky to produce 2.5 to 3 lb. Let’s be honest quality and quantity aren’t found together very often, plus you are probably providing multiple patients with different needs so you need different strains for the different patients. That’s going cost the provider more time, space, equipment, and etc…
If you are providing your meds to a coop or a broker there will be a wholesale price, then a middle man price, and then a retail price. Now if the retail price is 25 dollars per ounce the grower will be getting another chunk added to the loss.
I’m not saying prices shouldn’t be reasonable but the caregiver or provider is still committing a federal felony, and risking their life and freedom to provide for someone else’s needs. I think that the caregiver or provider is entitled to a little compensation for their hard work and sacrifices don’t you?
Also realize that the growers (for the most part) aren't the ones making 500 dollars an ounce in the first place; not even close in most cases.

Having the Feds come and cut your crop down...$0

Getting thrown in ass rape prison for a victimless crime....Priceless!!


If you ask me the chance of getting thrown in ass rape prison alone is going to be worth $250 an ounce alone

He is just a little mad that he is totally wrong. He can try to take it out drug dealers. But most are busy selling drugs and not on RIU.

Sunlight dirt and rain are good enough to make marijuana for recreational use only. You have not read any of the posts about the quality of medicine? You want the seriously ill to be smoking bud that has not been kept in tip top shape?


I bet if you calculated how much it would cost in electric trimmers and workers to cultivate your MASS field of MJ, 25 dollars an ounce wouldnt cut it. And thats not even mentioning any other costs.

You cant get into trouble if the crops are legal so your theory is flawed.. And after all, thats what this entire debate is actually about - MEDICAL MARUIJUANA.. Not the shit that ppl grow to sell for a profit illegally..Go back through my thread and read my posts about the "gvt regulated outside MMJ grow op" idea I had..

wait a minute. Did you call me a liar! Do you want to take this outside. Credibility ZERO! I don't lie. I'm not smart enough to keep up with it and I enjoy my good karma. Just what exactly do you think I'm lying about?

Please check out this thread on ASA's website. http://www.safeaccessnow.org/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=3108

These guys think that medical marijuana should be $25 an ounce but they don't want to grow it themselves. What a bunch of shit. Speak up growers!
