Timing is a big part too.
Don't expect to get 3500. a pound for your outdoor buds in November.
Everybody who has a few extra pounds of outdoor at harvest time,brings it to the the clubs Oct Nov Dec. Supply is High demand is low; and even if it gets you wasted,you won't get much if it isn't pretty with major bag appeal !

Hey Doc Leaf, you speak of "cannabis culture" (esp with regard to Cali) as if you know anything about it. It was always about money and never about medicine. You think you have a clue what it was like back then? Do you think the late sixties and seventies scene in Cali was all peace and love and free dope? It most definitely was not.
Way back even before the Cali MJ scene started, we got our grass from Mexico, Central America. The agrarian populations of those nations were busting their asses in the hot sun for $$$. You see it has always been about money. MJ is a crop.
ON what then can you base your ideals if not on Cali? Surely not on English traditions. I have spent much time in the UK over the years. Not that long ago it was tremendously difficult to get cannabis at all; mostly you could only get hash and even then you twits rolled it up with tobacco. That's your cannabis culture: Smoke some shitty hash in a Player's and off to the pub for a pint (so you could actually get high).
Nobody was giving it away that's for sure.
By the way, your criticisms of USA as Nazi-like are ironic are they not in that they reference a European tyranny?
It's all very easy for you over in Europe to be glib and self satisfied with your postage stamp sized nations and your monocultures. You don't have the same challenges the US faces, not even close. But don't forget that the US is populated primarily with Europeans - your culture, you know the one that conquered and tyrannized the entire Earth for almost half a millennium. More irony - Mr Leaf you rule in that respect!
Alright I've ranted....

All marijuana use is medical; even recreational.

1 of the major reasons i'd never move to CA is because of the price of shit/cost of living so i dont think people shouldnt really be bitching about prices, its like moving to alaska and complaining about the cold

What do the clubs in the east bay give farmers for an elbow of the fire? It seems that the prices around here the clubs are doubling what each eighth costs them. I understand operating costs are high but seriously seems like too much of a markup.
Almost every retail non-perishable finished goods seller you can imagine works on wholesale prices being 40-60% of retail, i.e. a markup of 100%. Sporting goods, clothes, whatever. It is considered normal markup for goods in most businesses, so while you THINK it is too much markup, it is in fact the norm.
Truth.
Jewelry stores are a 700% markup. Hell, Microsoft makes an 80% profit on sales of office.
I would say at the moment
low - 2-2.5k
mids - 2.5k-3.0k (nobody wants to pay the worth of mids sadly, eighths that sell for 40-45)
quality ($50~+ eighths) - 3.0k-3.6k
absolute fire ($60~+ eighths) - 3.6k-4.1k
this is from inside experience on the dispensary side and is pretty realistic from what i've seen many many vendors ask for initially and what they end up getting.
Dude,, California is NOT the center of cannabis culture... Cannabis is native to Asia!!
Our observations are based on the work of global medi. activists including GrowDoc (USA/Europe) ,, Todd McCormick (USA) ,,,
Marco Renda (Canada) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S_Ut35x-zw
Wernard Bruining (Holland) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E5w5boFDiY
Sarah Martin (UK) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9B8e_ByoCY
As you can see ,,, "Medi. Marijuana" is a global phenomena ,, only we call it "Medi. Weed" over here.
Plenty people manage to give away Medi. Weed for FREE
Peace out...

If i was ever going to move to a place to grow weed, it would be thailand to grow thai stick.
Hehe mrred.. perhaps the Manali valley instead
Btw,, i n i nah hating on Cali. ,, just emphasising the fact that their are medi. community members all over the world. And perhaps that Positronics was the first cash-free clone-club (in EU if not the world)
To be honest its the 'selling back' part that confuses us most.
Selling to clubs we understand,, but "selling back",, what exactly does that mean?

This mirrors my experience as well. LA prices are a couple hundred higher.
after living in the kingdom for a year and watching an aussie on "holiday" get busted in Hua hin for growing 2 plants god nows what happened to that guy i came back to the us before his trial started. I'd pick a place where you cant get the death penalty for growing herb
holy shit that sounds like the worst possible way to get busted.after living in the kingdom for a year and watching an aussie on "holiday" get busted in Hua hin for growing 2 plants god nows what happened to that guy i came back to the us before his trial started.
