actually almost everything in this post is off. clubs aren't making shit right now because of the flooded market. the people that make the most are the "runners". they can make 1000 a pound just driving for the day. pick up at point A for 2000 drop off at point B for 3000. they make 100 grand a TRIP, not a year.
kids.
and you won't tell other patients how many clones you have but you tell the cops you grow? dude, you don't have to be like that to fit in here. we love everyone equally.
and how do you start a thread asking if clubs are mob run and how do they operate, then go on to explain how it all works?

my buddy has grown since the 70's and has made all sorts of drugs. Hes been growing since mercury vapor. He grows both outdoor and indoor he says there is defiantly a difference. How do you explain that outdoor is so much cheaper? If its the same then the cost would be the same. Even now I can get $3400 for grade A indoor weed. Dispensaries ask me specifically for "A+++ Indoor" for a reason. Obcourse any "outdoor" grower would say that there is no difference cuz they want to sell their product, and I suppose if it gets you high it gets you high! But seriously bugs, dirt, mold, smog, ozone are all factors in an outdoor weed.
Anyway dispensaries sell many more times the dope then a drug dealer sells, and its not just dope, its candies, cookies, doggie weed, seeds, clones, pipes, joints, just everything! I agree that business probably isnt as good as it was before due to alot of people loosing their jobs but the ones I know do make millions, i promise you. Thats why there are over 100 dispensaries in LA alone!.
Lets do the math, if a dispensary sells 1/2 a pound a day at retail (which is about double the wholesale price) $6000, for 365 days a year that ends up to be.... 1,095,000 in pot alone gross, imagine how much they get for the other products.
To make $100k per run you'd need 100lbs of A+ weed and someone crazy enough to buy outdoor for $3000 per pound because that's indoors price. Outdoor is currently selling $1500-2400 per pound, and i doubt the people at the high end are actually selling it. You'd need to have the balls to make 10 trips, and the very very unlikely connection to 1000lbs of weed. I doubt anyone will let you on the street with 100lbs of their weed nor you the cash to buy that much, thats $200000 to buy the weed in your scenario.
I know a grower in Humbolt who does about 100lbs a year outdoor. He says he "has millions" stashed away, but he has a connection to a dispensary that guarantees him that they will buy all his shit when he has it. Its very hard to make that kind of relationship with a dispensary, its alot down to your connections to be honest. Thats why I say you cant make alot of money being a vendor, cuz its not easy getting rid of all that weed.
NY has the highest price for weed in the country as far as I know. It usually runs for $7k per pound, but its illegal there. Can you imagine driving 10lbs to NY instead of LA for an additional $30,000. You have to have someone(s) there with alot of money (Mob) to buy it. And balls the size of water melons to drive it there.
BTW, this is what 70lbs of bud looks like.... They are in garbage bags!
