i like the price right where it is in my area....when i buy erb i get it for 300$ an ounce, 1k a 1/4 LB and thats about as much as ill buy at one time....i dont sell buds i smoke them so i only buy the most highest quality bud(thats if i do actually buy erb, i usually smoke my own stash and trade someone my homegrown for another flavor or two)...once i crop i usually make the rounds to my local dealers or other growers and trade up my bud for what they ahve......variety is the spice!!!! i really think if you mess with the price of MJ it would probably not be appealing crop to the govt to legalize since its profits are gonna be shitty....
 
I agree with this thread.Though I dont live in a medical state i was talking to me friend and he said he was paying 70-90$1/8 in some of the dispenseries for the high potency strains and thats just rediculous.Some of the people that have conditions like MS mast likely have a fixed income and not very much money too spend on Marijuana that they need.If everyone started to grow there own maybe the dispenseries might lower there prices alittle bit.You have to remember though lots of those places obtain there cannabis from the black market and pay top dollarthey have to make a profit or they will not have money too pay for everything they need in order to run a dispensery.This would all be solved if the feds would straighten up and listen to the people of America.My heart goes out to all that can't aford to buy there Marijuana in the time of need.

Getting insurance companies involved with ANYTHING is never a good idea.


Free the weed!!

Are we trying to get the medicine to the patients or not? Simple fact is, most people couldn't afford prescription meds if it weren't for insurance.

So, keep them out of it if you want, but patients still won't get their medicine.

I don't know what insurance company's would do to prices but it is IMO one of the best ways to show the American people how legitimate MMJ is.

Even though its probably the right thing to do. I hope you fail in making the price lower. Anyone with me? LOL

The more corporatized the US healthcare system gets, the less affordable and less available is has become. Would is somehow be different just because marijuana is involved? Would it ultimately be a good thing for it to be controlled by profit-driven corporations? Would this get this medicine into the hands of more people? Guess who is going to be most influential in making any new laws?

We are talking after all about a plant that anyone can easily grow,and if it was not illegal, it would be ridiculously cheap. I have friends that make huge amounts of $$ from it, and they ARE risking heavy jail time and deserve to be compensated. But it shouldn't have to be this way.

naughty, naughty :spank:

my pal says the same thing lol..
anyway, i'm still 100% for this plan. i got mites this crop and had to start over.

I plan to have one bonsai mum to start off with and to give away the cuttings, and have them be given away through clubs.
This bonsai mother, if well fed, produce 10 to 30 good cuttings every 14 days under an HID or every 20 days under fluorescent shop light. This means a 4 ft x 2 ft shoplight with 18 Mums, could produce an output of over 9500 cuttings a year.

peace :joint:

If you had the nerve to tell your connection "No!" next time there was a rise in price it might help, but everyone would have to do it. Yup, like everything else price goes up over time as does the quality of weed for the most part.

But maybe your connect has gotten a bump in price? Do you want him to suffer the rise in price w/o charging for it up the chain? He won't.

Of course there is no set price on weed. No legit market place to establish those parameters so we're at the mercy of so many different variables it's not funny.

Expect it to rise to the point where everyone has to grow their own, only then will it begin to come down imo.

I'm currently growing OG Kush, and it hasn't cost me anymore than my other plants to grow...


ok,,,, asshat,,,,
one strain finishes in 7 weeks the other in 12 weeks and you think they cost the same to grow?

nevermind the fact that some seeds are selling in the 300-500 dollar per pack range -


and you still think it all costs the same?



I disagree.


Fact is - some people CAN afford silly prices, and I thank god for those people - so I can be generious and "kind"

I think you need better friends - and when somebody goes to the effort to grow that top grade - it's really shitty of you, to think they should sell it for bunk money.

Edit - - AND!!

That dosen't concider the hundreds of plants that were deemed good but not good enough. Not every bean is a keeper - hell not ever pack has a keeper.

So - by YOUR logic a brand new Z-06 Corvette costs the same to build as a new Aveo - after all - the both have 4 tires right?



Tell ya what - get Bill Gates to sign on,,, okie-dokie?
I think I see why you can't meet the right people

Its simple...If your a MJ Patient with Valid Paperwork then grow your own herb and you wont have to buy it.....Thats what I do....I was sick of paying top dollar for Weed so now I simple grow my own Herb.....I personally think that no Herb should be priced over $50 an Eighth myself.....

I don't believe I ever said it wouldn't cost anything. Keeping a bonsai mum around for a year and distributing the cuts freely will cost something, but it damn sure aint much -- imho.

wow, that last bit about the z-06 was a damn retarded comparison.

secondly, the 7 week / 12 week argument was a good point, and quite valid. so yeah, you're right. however, that doesn't negate any of my plans.

I'm not seeking any of you nay-sayers stamp of approval. how about instead of being overly critical, you contribute better ideas than my own. I was high as shit when I wrote that post, but the theory of the market stays the same. how about you _asshats_ ;) go and read up on the economy and how things work, then maybe you'll be a bit me inclined to manipulate it for good, the same way the neo-cons have done for evil.

I am not a believe in "great events" that consists of a bunch of smoke and ego about them -- hence why I've got about 4 posts in this thread. I only bumped to update

magnanimous :joint:

[edit] what's this about "meeting the right people", SolarT?

wow, what a great thought... but as others have mentioned not likely to happen as put forth. those w/ experience can see flaws in the thinking... doesnt mean we dont want compassion for others.

i've seen clones given free monetarly, instead a favor was the payment. sometimes it works sometimes it does not.

to grow ya set ya own demands... be it a smile or a wad of dough, depends on who ya are & who ya know.

I'll smoke a joint with anyone who asks for free, but anything else is to much to ask :O




I also try to have at least 5 connects to price compeate, for when I don't have my own herb for my patients, so they still get the best for there $. Of course I don't have very many patients left now, I taught them all how to grow and gave them free clones and lights lol.

It's not the seed dealers fault people are willing to pay big bucks for their product. The seeds are high priced because people are willing to pay. I may be wrong, but if people wouldn't be willing to pay big bucks for seeds, the prices would go down.

Being compassionate and having a "sense of self", don't go together. It's rare someone says they treat themselves in a compassionate manner. It's always, compassion within the community or to "others".

Growing pot may be legal in California and 12 other states, but it's illegal in the United States as federal policy.

Compassion or being generous is a noble cause. If you spend 150 bucks for 10 seed and you end up with one mother, because the breeder only had old stock with a low germ rate, and only get 10 clones, you have to get 15 bucks each if you expect to replace your costs so you and repeat the process. Even growing an ounce of weed can run 300 bucks.

Sure it's a great effort, and I like the way it ended in your second post with "I'm high", and silly.

Yeah. I got ripped too when I said I was going to sell my meds for 100 an ounce. Compassion only works when you are hard on yourself. Giving a band aid to a guy ripped in half by a shotgun who only has months to live is cool. Unfortunately you're dealing with 50,000 people who are not critically ill or wounded.

Better look for people with noticeable AIDS, in Wheelchairs, get all prejudice and forget all those people with who are able to help themselves. Or, If you really want to help a large number of people, start a growing the good herb class. Charge 5 bucks a week, and bring in snacks, or pass out cheap clones clones for them to learn to grow their own. Your time is way more expensive than your product and always will be.

I'm not high or smoking any weed, and my post is kind of silly too.

Best Of Luck! Really!

Just think of the questions you can ask in a class like that.

Did your clone make it this first week?
How many people forgot to water it?
How many people smoked it?

etc....

How do you 'only get 10 clones'? You only get 10 clones if you decide to only get 10 clones. You could easily leave the plant in veg longer / bonsai mum it.

the fact that i was high makes no difference. high or not, i have an understanding of the market. Obviously, that post wasn't a clear cut plan, but an idea. Ideas need work. However, a lot of what I said still rings true while I'm sober -- and I am now ;).

Ok - nuther offer.

I got 2 orders of seeds recently - I'll send 5 seeds to your safe addy - - check back in - 6 months - 8 months, whatever you like

Ok?
edit - I got 12 beans here you can have all 12.

oh - - about the vette - both are chevy's - have 4 wheels, the vette might have a large disadvantage for mileage and the vette is MSRP +$, +$, +$. oh yeah - THAT"S THE POINT! That and drive each to a party and see WHY they charge more.

Be glad that some can pay. Recently through the generosity of Rez, I snagged a couple packs of Strawberry D F2's $45 ea. Plus I got some Soma's NYCD - and a couple killer freebies - then I'm waiting on a pack of Blue Sonja (Blockhead F2's)

That's another thing - NEVER EVER has any of my buddies tossed me some change and said "Buy us some good beans"
**** NO!

From the day I learned to grow - I've strived to have the best buds; bar none. My moms are LSD, Juliet, Blockhead, Strawberry Deisel and 2 different Hashplants. I've tossed ak-47, Mr Bubble, B-52, Ledo uno, Golden Skush, about 5 skunk crosses, bubblegum, and several that I would rather never remember.
Point being - ya gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find a princess.

Don't get me wrong - it's hard work, only for the dedicated....

That's another thing,,,,
