Michigan Growers Tell Your Plans for This Year

dayum hic you gonna be a busy man bro I like your moxie bro it takes balls to grow out all the strains you growing and looking for potential mothers\ fathers for a breeding program. I hope you find a good Michigan specific strain to the region hell ya mon that would be way coo bro. I have a plan for next year that includes some BW, Medicine Man, Super Lemon Haze, Blue Berry and some Kandy Kush fem freebie from an order I placed with Attitude last year. I hope it has time to finish in Michigan and the weather holds a good growing year in its future...

Well needless to say I spent a good fair amount of time reviewing michigans so called compassion clubs on the net..needless to say I feel like crying like a little bitch. WTF happened, how do you medical marijuana patients feel about that?

If I had some pals- we could make this right.. we could be called the 'regulators'.lol

I think hes talkin bout the prices they charge for meds. I do know to grow the killa it is expensive to do it inside and do it up proper..

Cool upcoming line-up delstele. You gonna try to run all them this summer?

Well got bubba kush and Blueberry in my hands now, so that is that. Heads up KB.

rzza I want to supply a CC or dispensary with all I can. I myself do not have the abilities alone to give this CC or dispensary enough power. I simply cannot provide enough dope to a dispensary by myself and keep it running. I am also not willing to give my pot to a disensary and letting them charge $20 a gram for it.

What would happen if I walked into a dispensary and told the guy running the show.. "here is this dope, you cannot sell this dope for more then $10 a gram"? What if I told the guy "here are seeds,that I expect you to give away for free"? What if I told the guy "here are some clones you may not sell the clones for more then $10 a piece"? What if I told the guy "here are some clones you must give to those who cannot afford the othe ones"?. Then we have the whole hash issue that I would simply give to the man if I liked him, and tell him " here is some hash" do with it as you like... he would laugh at me and tell me I was crazy.

This is my only real issue that I can see coming.. I have nowhere to give my smoke, because I do not believe a place that I would agree with giving my smoke away too exist yet.. I know I know there's programs there's programs. But if I give my dope to these so called programs my objectives will and cannot be complete.. If I break my stuff down in pieces it will hold no power and the market price will only go up.. I must have one place, and this place must have more like me to be able sustain itself and ourselves.

I know the market may eventually go down, but I am ready to start now with the whole dismantle of it. I know that the medical marijuana community is very much new here in MI. And as far as I am concerned "it's off to a pretty shitty start" It is no more then a gathering of crows.. feeding off the weak. I am not saying everyone is bad, I am simply trying to say the good are scattered therefore hold no authority.. I want a CC or dispensary built for me and the others.

If the ones that can come together that love the plant more then the flower, then it will be changed before it ever began

If i can get the prosecuting attorney in my town off my dick my plans are to get our new greenhouse up & running,so far its built but still empty while the powers to be interperate the law & quibble over minutia.

We are also working hard at getting a dispensary off the ground,possibly as early as march if all goes well.

After reading your posts i now understand your question to me so im editing my post.

How can you say we are feeding off the week ?

Have you researched how much capital it takes at start up to open a dispensary,to do it right & to stay legal at all times your looking at $50K easy, & thats just start up costs,monthly expenses are another matter,there is alot more to it than what most people see when they see an 8th selling for $60 plus dollars at the dispensary.

Just last week we had a patient ask why a dispensary cross town wanted $60 a gram on some hash & they thought they were being ripped off,that is until we explained just how much bud goes into making a single gram of hash,after explaining the costs & time involved they felt better about their purchase.

The ones who are making the real profit are those at the top of the food chain & it's not the operators of the dispensarys,its landlords & insurance agents.

Ya mon that's the plan hic I like growing outside it must be the thrill of seeing if I can go all the way to harvest ..

Hic, I agree completely... (didn't want to show your whole quote,) there are so many people now who are just scared, even if they have their MJ cards because MI isn't cooperating... Fuck Mike Buchard for his 'dispensary busts'... There are sick people in need, and we need to all be advocates for them and ourselves! And let's face it, we all think the prices are outrageous!

Big props to all you guys for doing this shit year in and year out!

I agree panhand that the choices the owner/operator makes in the begining phases of their dispensary plans. the people will have to pay for.

I can say many of the dispensaries are feeding off the weak is because they are. I tell you I bet the people do not want to walk into many of these establishments simply because they know that when they go in thier wallets are going to get rapped. yea thats how the world was meant to spin

I also must be in another world compared to many of you pot gods. I do not have the ability dumb enough to let it cost me a $100 to produce a plant.. I have proved over and over and over I can grow a half pound for $5 damn dollars. I can grow a half pound indoors for no more than $100 I guess all of you are growing pot wrong? 20 dollars a gram.lol

so if financially responsible choices are made in the begining. The dispensary I supply will not run into as many little hidden fee's for the patients.. thanks pan hand for the reminder.

Hell if thats the case..we will take phone orders only. Therefore cutting out many expensise for our customers

nice to see ya again Captbooya. I come in peace

I wish the best of luck to ya,fyi a phone order only delievery service has allready been established in Michigan.

Im not sure how serious you are about opening a business but no mater weather you run a store front or a delievery service you'll need liability insurance,here is the info for the insurance company ive contracted with,they are the cheapest of the 3 companies i found that even offer liability insurance for those in the Med Mj business.

Meadowbrook Insurance Agency.

5311 Hampton Place

Saginaw Mich 48603.

Insurance agent/ Ronald K Scott.

The cheapest policy available has a minimum premium of $2,750 with a minimum deductable of $2,500

Bottom line pan hand if I were to buy dope from a dispensary it would cost me $1200 a month to smoke at 2 grams a day. this is unacceptable to me and the public.

As for the liability insurance, the money around here grows on trees. and future insurance companies in this particular area will begin to have more competion as well, sooner then later

I wish the best of luck to you too panhead.

Hic i'd totally be game being a delivery boy for you selling your quality medicene at quality prices for patients in need of resonable meds. Do you really need insurance to start up a business like that?

I remember watching something on tv and they said in cali all you need to get started to do a delivery service at its simpliest was a cell phone, a vehicle, and some medicene. if it's that easy, than i'd totally be interested in trying that out. Selling Quality meds at quality prices, you'd take all the business. Especailly when other companies that are selling good trimmed meds are going for 55+ an 8th

hic, good luck also with your grow and I would like to think I'm a halfway decent person.

We are all halfway decent people ,Its the other half of us that makes the differance
