*DISCLAIMER: I know that this probably isn't the right forum for the thread to stay in, I just wanted to reach a large audience initially. Sorry for the hassle mods! Won't happen again.*
I created this thread for the purpose of educating new vendors (like myself) on the ins and outs of marijuana vending (selling to dispensaries). Included will be a monthly report on the in-demand strains (Regular, Top-Shelf and Medicinal) and any recent developments in the vendor/dispensary world here in the Bay Area. In addition to these reports, users can contribute to an ongoing guide on the business and etiquette of vending to dispensaries, including quantities, general pricing, presentation, quality assurance and just generally not getting ripped off by greedy dispensaries. Obviously I don't expect names, exact numbers or any specifics that would put vendors at risk or compromise their income, but simple tips on how to deal with dispensaries, or mistakes to avoid would be of great help to all of us vending in the Bay Area!
Cheers,
Hal

Medicinal Strains (Strains with a higher CBD content designed for the sole purpose of treating severe medical conditions.)
1. Harlequin (Hal Incandenza: High CBD, low THC. Very popular for pain relief without intoxication)
2.
3.
Top Shelf Strains ("Name Brand" strains of medical marijuana that fetch a high price.)
1. Durban Poison (Hal Incandenza: All four of the dispensaries I talked to mentioned this as being a very popular choice among their customers)
2. Girl Scout Cookies (Hal Incandenza: This one is being sold at just about every popular dispensary in San Francisco)
3.
4.
5.
Regular Strains (All other strains, usually sold for about $40/g in dispensaries)
1. Blue Dream (Hal Incandenza: This one is always in demand, though this may make it harder to sell as just about everyone grows it too! High quality Blue Dream variations fetch a high price)
