Because its a stupid idea and we've got more common sense than that. The whole reason people can buy weed is because you become a member of a club, therefore the business conducted is on a donation/trade process.

You can't just go set out on the curb and sale weed legally.

If we wanted to be dispensary owners...

prices are way the fuck up right now in the bay area. light dep sour/OG 18-23 depending on who it goes to. i havent seen a single full season LB for under 15, and they are bottom of the bucket quality.

only thing holding steady is indoors at low to mid 2s, but the low end market is drying up very very fast.

makes me wish i held onto more of my fullterm i was dumping at 12, i could easily get 16 right now.

prices are so bad in the bay area that i might just be making a trip up Top for the first time in 2 years.

I feel you, I kick myself in the ass every year for not holding on to more, or is it that I didn't grow enough...

It's just too easy to set up on 13th and ride the wave

Why do people ever say their stuff is sun grown or outdoor? You can't look at it and see a difference so why would you say it's outdoor? That's just asking for a much lower price point to negotiate from.
 
It just amazes me because it seems to me there is a lot of people who don't know what fire is or how bad there tree is... It's not 1985, but it is who u know because I know people that are middle man charging me 14-1600 now, same tree was 1100 a couple months ago lol, supply and demand pretty simple, people are getting better standards finally, and if we look to Colorado there will be many more people smoking if we legalize it, plus new smokers probably won't mind there bad outdoor

There's a huge oversupply of ins 5 hours east of LA because of the low population and lack of brokers. Can't give it away. Long term problem. Chronic you might say.

We are VERY lucky to have this lifestyle regardless of where we ply our craft.

SOMA style Jelly Hash, my new favorite smoke, a good use of bubble. Marketing it here is different as it is still illegal, although buds are no prob.
35+ Dollahs to the end user BHO concentrates - dispos want them for 15/g not worth doing. Bubble, no one knows how special it is. Except a few.

ID buds / lowballers trying to get p's for less than 27 / p . Not gotta let it go for that. 'Cause if I dole it out a little slower, I'm getting 30-32.

Glad to be here. Surprised to be saying it.

fwiw riverside is close to 2hrs from apple valley, both are no farther than 1.5hrs outta la....5hrs east of la would land you closer to blythe/needles...not too big of a population out in that little corner of the shit hot desert...not surprised that it would be difficult to move bulk...although I would say hoppin on the 10/40 east for a long drive may prove to be a fruitful endeavor...

50-50. half the brokers are greedy fucks thinking they should make 5 X more then the grower.. others understand that they shouldn't be making MORE then the grower..

im sorry but I think that growers are UNDER CUT all the time by a lot of grimey fucks.. look at that show.. with Matt Shotwell.. telling Mike Boutin.. ill give u 1000 for each plant.. when the plants produced more then a pound EACH.. those people piss me off..

I think.. if the broker wants to be GREEDY.. then ya.. they should be sold.. untrimmed.. cut down .. and sold.. u want it for that cheap. you should have to do the REMAINDER of the WORK...

i just personally don't like how brokers think they deserve to make the same profit in a LEGAL BUSINESS.. then the black market.. or more.. its like i understand you wana make yours too.. but if all your doing is buying it .. and selling it .. then how much work are u really doing?

your better off growing.. and having a family member be the broker.. allow your family to make some money off your grow instead of paying some dick broker to rip you off and make more money then you off your work...

If brokers are so greedy why do people use them? I'd guess that's either because they cannot logistically sell it all which would be hundreds of pounds or because their product is sub par quality and nobody is really interested in buying it and they need help. At least half of the growers out there are stupid, stubborn, and greedy and their quality sucks but they grow much more of it to sell, and that's a large factor in why dabbing is so popular. People starting turning their whole harvest of untrimmed plants into concentrates because they could not sell it as flowers. That supply could not be met just from the trimmings. IMO if you need a broker you're either too big or you got ahead of yourself.

If ya don't like your broker find a new one.

I could spend days driving to multiple dispensaries to get 28+ but my time is better spent just growing more.

If you're 5 hours east of LA, why not find a broker in LA and make one trip each month? There are hundreds of em that have huge orders 24/7.

You just need a broker that is a) straightforward and easy to deal with, no lowballing/fronting and b) has a market for your product. If ya got cookies, find a guy that will take 20 packs at 27 and take em to the bay for 31. If ya got sour find a guy that moves east, his market will PREPAY 36-39 and you can walk away with 3k.
 
Good brokers are as in demand as good growers. The better brokers can never get enough and the better growers can never grow enough. I suspect if their were a brokers forum they would be bitching about growers with huge egos and unrealistic ideas of their crops value or their market share.

Things to think about in the legal market: What is a fair price for a broker? How many points per unit? A percentage? The traditional commodities "broker" wholesaler typically got over on the farmer from my small bit of knowledge. Thus the reason for Co_Op and the grain elevator....?

@DaubMarley I agree. Especially on the sub par product being turned into concentrates. I feel like that is a consumer/customer education issue on many levels.

My 2 cents...

Nice Avatar, wrong planet... Yes, a pound a plant.. I've heard that one before. Granted, I've seen and trimmed a 7 pound plant, yes, from the Comptche sunshine 10 miles from where I was living on the Coast for a decade.

I'd gladly take 1k per plant ready to flower. Want a few..? Hold on, let Me take a few or a hundred clones first. Sucha Deal - My House & Garden Bill would go down exponentially. haha

Some peeps can't get rid of flowers cause not enuf buyers, as in NorCal. And they opt not to ship.

In the first decade of the millennium, most brokers were content to make 2-300 per p. Sometimes, even One. Now, they often just buy as cheap as possible, and are able to double it. Good on 'em, that's good business. But, ya ain;t getting my best for your pittance..! Not Desperate - move on, Vultures..!! Perhaps go to Florida, there's a whole state of buzzards waiting to descend..!
