Selling back to clubs?

[mistaman]

GET MO I dont know how it is in the bay area but the clubs around here sound the same. The most popular one never has fire because they all wanna make good money off it so even though they could easily charge 50$ or more per 1/8 they would rather push shwag. For example they buy bullshit Canadian import for 3200 a pound here. They sell them for 80$ per 1/4 so they get 320$/oz 5120/pound. Then they add a 5$ service charge for each bag. That easily makes 2000$ per pound profit off Canadian import.

Now lets say they bought really well done local weed for 4400$ per pound and sold it for 50$ 1/8 or 100$ 1/4 then they would get 400 per ounce x16 would be 6400 per pound.

They make more money with the dank!!! Everyone wants better bud anyways. if they don't wanna pay extra they can buy the beaster buds lol..

as far as bay area clubs the answer is simple http://www.weedtracker.com/forums/directory.php

wow 3200 for bullshit import?

seems kinda high, my friends up in seattle get that canadian outdoor stuff for ridiculously cheap.

I think selling to the clubs is hot, any feds tracking MMJ will be on the clubs, i just think its hot i dont wanna catch myself walking in and out clubs with a couple P's on me.

I got a few comments:

Here in grimy ass oakland, you can not find a house in a nice neighborhood where you don't have to look over your shoulder too much for under 1600, and you'd be real lucky at that price for a 2br. EDIT: After looking on craigslist, I don't think you can find one for less than 2000.

Your electricity bill is lovely...that grow from your estimates uses about 3960 kw/h per 30 days...If I did that in my house...my bill would be $1,456.87

The whole perpetual multi harvest thing requires a seperate veg area and inherently more plants, those of us trying to stay under 100(upon the advice of alot of good lawyers) can't run short cycles and veg at the same time, and are also forced to buy clones because even maintaining mothers and making clones would put us over 100 plants. Federal mandatory sentencing guidelines mandate that a federal conviction for growing over 100 plants nets you a minimum of 5 years in the pen, of which you must serve atleast 85%. If you have a prior drug felony conviction its 10 years, 2 prior drug felony convictions gets you 25 to life. If you guys wanna take these kind of risks thats fine, but don't call us dumb for being inefficient in exchange for peace of mind and assured freedom.

Your average of 2 lb's a light is not by any means the norm and its real hard to believe you are doing that with low plant numbers vegging under a single 600 watt light. Anyhow not saying you are a liar but again I think this is very very atypical, noone can expect to pull 1 gpw like you are suggesting is easy as pie.

i got a three bedroom in east oakland/san leandro for 1750 a month, i run about 1200 watts + my flat screen TV plus a bunch of other things, my electrical usage this month was about 160 but about 40 of that was for gas. i run one 400 for veg, 2 400s for flower + a 150w that covers the gap between the 400s, so i actually run a little more than 1200. i yeiled 7.5 ounces off 9 plants that took me 2 months to flower, plus i got another 4 big kush that i will harvest soon. (9 plants under the 400+150, and the 4 kush plants under their own 400)

when i do the math, i really have to tax people on this medicine to even come close to covering my costs, i estimate that i i paid around at least 500 to grow all these plants, not to mention my initial costs for the lights and other things. it barely pays the rent, unless its some bobby brown outdoors shwag people should not complain about the prices.

i am rebuilding my grow from the ground up to make it more cost efficient, i am gonna go with the perpetual harvest technique, but i need to find some nice mothers asap.

Um you do realize that rent is not an expense that can be deducted in your "out of pocket" expenses, right?

Ask any taxman and they will tell you that if you are running a legitimate home based business you are only allowed to deduct the portion of the rent that is used SOLELY for the business. If it co-habitates with your regular living you need to factor how much is actually for work and how much for "living".

So your garage, bathroom, bedroom where you sleep, livingroom where you watch that big screen and the kitchen is NOT deductable as an expense to growing and is illegal for you to charge for it.

 

[Yes4Prop215]

yea you are right, i meant to say that the herbs barely pay for the money i spent to produce them, it costed like like 600 bucks to grow 3.5 ounces, its cheaper than buying off the street but its still not the best, but thats most likely because it was my first grow, the consecutive batches will be much cheaper to grow.

Just because "religion" does it doesn't make it right.

But hey, if your life's ambition is to be on par with jimmy swaggert and tammy faye baker and it helps you to sleep at night then so be it.

It may not be "Right"...but it is "Righteous"-- They have been doing it from the first time that "Non-Profit" was used-- Almost like it was made for them, huh??
I keep bringing this up, because it is the most blatant example of exactly what Non-Profit Companies were meant to be--
Now, Sir....my question is...Why is Cannabis any different from any other commodity...whether it be in Hard Goods...or Spiritual Flim-Flam??
All are Marketable, and none have ever been Bonafide--

I don't normally post another site on here...but one that I am associated with, is very in touch with So Cal Dispensaries...and has regularly updated menus, clone lists, and other info-- It is not so much a grow site...but for Dispensary and Cannabis friendly Dr's info, it is tops--

First off, you fucking Troll...you misspelled his name--
Now, why the fuck are you bringing a post from another Thread into here??
As far as the reference to making $$...so what?? How much of your weed do you give away Monthly??

Wait, you actually think the intent of 215 was for this??

Hopefully you'll never get sick one day and need cheap medicine.

I am appalled that you think that...I have been helping the sick and dying with Meds for years-- Check yourself son--

Does it really fucking matter either way? Your just pissed cause San Deigo sucks and you don't have the balls to grow your own fucking medicine. Seriously you talk about intent and shit, go to San Francisco grab a phonebook and look up Dennis Peron. Give him a call and ask him your own damn self. Seriously ask him. You might find out that helping people and earning a living can go hand in hand:friends:.

If Dennis' "intent" when drafting 215 was for him to be able to make money off MJ then he's not half the man I thought he was.

I've just found out that a club in the East Bay calls vending (selling to the clubs) "care providing."

I'm not sure why we have to translate everything in the language of compassion and care. It's just another PR stunt to "gussy up" what is actually happening: the buying and selling of cannabis to "patients," to people whom may or may not need cannabis for a legitimate medical purpose.

While I certainly agree that there are patients who actually need cannabis as a medical ailment, I question the medical cannabis movement masquerading something people buy for recreation as "medicine."

I have come to realize that if clubs were truly compassionate and caring, they would not be charging ridiculous prices. Why would I go to a club if black-market cannabis is of a higher quality and a lower price?

 

[DocLeaf]

Selling back to clubs is as much of a vicious circle as the clubs selling the clones in the first place

 

[Zeinth]

477 closing??

477 closing??

L.a. supers vote today...will they close 477 coops that filed hardship paperwork??


as far as selling back meds... most coops got there own grows...unless yours is uberdank... and under 220 a zip.

 

[JBIG420]

in SoCal I have a few friends who own dispensaries and mostly the reason they pay so little for meds is they see crappy meds but I know for example, 3500 for great quality would be possible... but if you have the absolute insanity, something really really impressive... they go 4000-4500 or even more

all you gotta do is bring it to them and they will make you an offer, but there is also a kinda click thing going on with most places and if your not a known person sometimes you get the run around

and by the way, I would love to just see better quality meds from other places get brought down here so I can experience them
