Why is medical marijuana so expensive?

[headband 707]

You are missing the Fucking point! This is whatever the ICmager produces it is in no fucking way your medicine. It is his crop. If you want to buy it and use it as medicine, I hope you are willing to pay his price; ELSE grow your own and shut the fuck up.

You are like ALS, I hope never to meet you or have my brain turned to communist mush like the two of you!

Peace,

LOL LOL Hydro really bro what does communiism have to do with it . That would mean it would be free dog and I could go for that lol lol.. But seriously why you guys keep fighting about the price and saying shit like I think it should be expensive makes me wonder who the fuck you are. Who the fuck wants to pay a lot for bud?? that doesn't make sense?????Unless your the one making the money off that bud........ But your absolutely right if you want to do anything about it you have to do somthing about it. It's not till you get sick that you see the great divid and that is all anyone on this board is saying. Now in a recession this is the worst time to charge ppl through the teeth . So ppl are going to look elsewhere and get smarter about this whole thing. This charging through the teeth is going to come back and bite them in the ass. peace out Headband707

Nobody gets to charge anybody through the teeth, out door crops are rolling in and prices seem to be lower on that stuff, but the top of the line hydro still goes for what it goes for. No one grower sets the price. This plant is the largest cash crop for almost every of the 50 states.

I'm circling back to my first post on this thread "Why in the world would anyone want to say a bad word about an ICmager, growing for the universe?"

Price is set by the market not individuals.

Peace,

Communism has everything to do with this!!
You are asking some, to grow for others..at a fair price...but you are not allowing for the Growers to make the extra $$ needed for Legal services down the line--
How much are you growing..and putting out there at less than Market prices??!!
Yeah...thought so--
Not trying to start shit bro...but ya gotta be realistic in this--

 

[pedrodepaco]

Look weed is money. Everyone in the game is risking prison. what is prison worth to you. If it was all about hippie shit we would still be smoking seeded mexi bullshit. hydro takes alot more money to grow and the risk of getting popped is way higher.

WOW all the hate.....man..... dude what is up?

So your tell me that if I need MJ to be able to keep food down during cancer treatments. That even though I am most likley dying from a termminal illness. You yourself as well as others feel they should a huge profit and only people who make decent living be able to get on MMJ let alone afford.

BTW if I am a communist ,,, ummmmm WOW ok LOLOLOL


I am asking you why MMJ should be modeled like any corporation pharmaceutical companies is all? All this about LEO setting the prices higher makes me wonder where are all the cases in court or previosly in court for peddling pot in CO in a dispencary?

If I am wrong I would be the first to admit it. : I am saying that the CO people did vote for MMJ.

Nuttin but love peace man,

Just because you are dying doesn't entitle you to things for free. Does a cancer patient just get to go steal whatever they want? No. If someone is generous they can give it to them because they feel sorry for them but that is their decision not some systemic action. Mj has always been a money game. I don't know where you have lived that people didn't make money on it. So for you to think that it shouldn't or wouldn't be a money game now is disingenuous. If you were dying of cancer would you complain to McDonalds that they were making a huge profit?? How about Wal Mart? What about your doctor that you are receiving your treatments from? They all make their living selling goods or services at a huge profit. Why should mj be any different? It costs people money to produce, process, store, transport, and sell. Furthermore, as long as the cops are going after patients, growers, and dispensaries the price will remain high. If they stop all the frivolous litigation based upon their impingement on our right to grow mj maybe things would be cheaper.

 

[headband 707]

This is the big problem with pot is that it has become this greed driven thing that has gotten out of hand for ppl that need it like sick ppl that need it for medicine. That is what the division is here. It's all good if you can afford it and you don't need it for medicine. Great I'm glad for you go smoke your brains out and make your big bucks. But in the meantime there are ppl that are getting caught in the crossfire with the price. It's not like a person with Cancer can fight like a healthy person can or has the resourses. I think everyone agree that there is risk but should that risk be brought to the person that is sick.? Would you want that to be brought to you if this were you and you were sick? Try to put yourself in the shoes of the sick and poor and if you can do that then your half way there. Hopefully we are starting to see things differently and not want to rip eachother off over bud. Thats not what bud is about .. Guys no one said anything about free it's you guys that keep saying free lol I'm just saying not what do you guys pay $70.00 1/8 holy shit I think $10.00 gr is high lol peace out Headband707

 

[Juice_Box]

so headband 707 and jbonham are you both sick and dying cancer paitents? Because I don't buy it for a second. Around my parts most dispensaries/clinics offer free meds to TERMINALLY ill patients. I don't think that you two


you paid $50 an eighth before it was MEDICAL then you can expect to pay $50+ per eighth due to the massive increase in costs, such as; electric for grow, electric for dispensary, taxes, payroll for employees, security, rent on retail space and on and on the list goes.

The real sick and dying are helped.

 

[zenoonez]

End plant number restrictions and canopy restrictions and people will flood the market with both indoor and outdoor. Indoor will always be more expensive but if there weren't these arbitrary limits on what you can grow it wouldn't be a problem. And what about patients being caught in the crossfire? What about the growers that supply those patients that are getting 10-15 yrs in prison for doing their jobs? Risking 10-15 for doing your job is a hard sell unless there is some serious cash involved. You guys need to look at it from both sides, people are going to prison to provide you with weed. If you are sick and poor some clubs have arrangements for hardship cases. It might involve getting popcorn bud but hey beggars can't be choosers. It is expensive headband, I don't deny that but what I am saying is that there is overhead that has to be paid for in a dispensary not to mention the potential for legal bills that could involve years of litigation and possibly prison time for growing a plant. We shouldn't be sitting here quibbling over the price of an 8th, we should be writing letters to our congressmen and women about how having any laws limiting our ability to consume and produce mj is a violation of our fundamental rights.

Nuttin but love peace man,

JB, my angry defensive tone is not from hate but rather a never ending NEED to observe the rights of others. I think it is evil to steal but to organize into groups to oppress your neighbors under any banner or cause is immoral and ethically bankrupt.

I was saying if you benefit from MJ as it helps many chemo patients you should grow it or buy it. It should make NO difference to you or anyone else if I have 1gram, 1Kg, 1 Metric Ton, or the stems and seeds again blues.

If you are communist that is fine it is your business, I don't want to force you to think or act in any way. I only wish you observe natural law and not infringe on the freedoms of others.

I don't think MJ or MMJ should be modeled, regulated, controlled, processed, or otherwise destroyed by NON-PRODUCERS. I think your home is your castle and I wish only the best harvests in perpetual cycles for all growers here on ICmag.

I understand that people in CO voted one way and that is great; however no free man needed their approval or authorization to produce on his own land.

Nothing but love here too!

Peace,

LOL LOL finally we are on the same page . No one should be going to prison and the ppl in prison should be let out ffs it really gotten out of hand IMHO. First they tell us that it's against the law then they want to tax us are you shitty me? Here there might be a little more protection for the growers of medical marijuana not sure about there? Insane prison time there that has to stop, no doubt. Still can't let slimbags run the show peace out Headband707

I could use every resource available to me, and it would barely scratch the surface of human need. But please, feel free to start a medical cannabis production unit and run it the way you think it should be run. Oh wait, you want others to do the work, and your personal favorites gain the benefit. Guess what? When you come to get your free MMJ from me you'll find I decided I'd rather you did the work.

I am asking you why MMJ should be modeled like any corporation pharmaceutical companies is all?

A better question is why you think that both can't exist at the same time. None of you whiners has ever bothered to even attempt to explain why the presence of someone making a profit keeps you from giving it away according to your personal ethics. I know I can't compete with people giving it away, why the heck can't you compete with someone who's charging a much higher price? Oh that's right, you're too fucking lazy to do it, gotta try to make it sound like people who are doing nothing wrong are dastards.


Anyway, tell us your genius plan for getting everyone the medicine they need for free. Remember, if you include the use of force in your plan it is you who is the sniveling dastard, ready to steal from others to satisfy your personal desires. I really hate selfish fuckheads that try to couch their personal agenda as some sort of higher ethical ground.

Path you sound pissed lol lol.. If you give this whole fucking mess to me I will run it the way I see fit and your right it won't be at this price I can promise you that. Will it be free for the dying ..perhaps.. Each case will have to be looked at with it's own merrits etc. Does that make my a fuckhead or a person that thinks I'm above anyone on this board absolutely not. Do I have an agenda ? Just to see that this shit stops once and for all. no higher ground then anyone elses nor do I think Jbonham was trying to put himself above anyone just stating the facts as he sees them. Peace out Headband707

 

[Hydrosun]

Headband if you want it to stop once and for all, circle back to my first statement:

"Why would anyone have a harsh word for any ICmag grower"

Sounds like any energy and effort not put into growing should go into changing the collectivist immoral governmental stance on regulation or criminalization.

We should all love the growers who take the time to share with the world on ICmag, they are already giving back a 1,000% more than a non grower.

Peace,

hydro you made my case in the profitering that is going in on in the MMJ world. Any time Mj costs are 1 1/2 what they are on the street and these people are providing a legal service well...LOL


Also grow all you want plz.., btw flood the market with tons of good weed... prove to me that supply and demand worx. LOL

Any way Dr J sated the costs and almost every MMJ grow etc,. have stated they are in it for the money <{ So, end of this chapter until these people see the light or hopeful get that chance in life.

As to my medical condition I qualify no problem but what does that have to do with greed/

Good Luck

Jbonham

PS In the end the salesmen with more customers selling his wares at a cheaper price will reaper a greater reward :+} Stay medicate head

 

[headband 707]

Yur right there Hydro but half the growers are great lets put it that way lol lol . Problem with pot is because it's illegal keeps lots of ppl away from voting or getting involved and I totally understand that who wouldn't. So it's a real catch 22 and the Gov. knows it. peace out Headband707

I think you are proving my and your point about greed. You feel you QUALIFY; I say everyone is born free to PRODUCE as they see fit.

So you claim to not be GREEDY but you produce ZERO from what I can see.

Your PS confuses me because it is a economically responsible thought & possible in a profit MAXIMIZING venture, why would you quote that?

Peace,

The fact of the matter here is that if legalization went full scale for everyone the price would plummet. You don't see very many people growing tobacco in their backyard and selling it do you? If the price were to drop dramatically most of the people that grow right now would no longer grow because it just wouldn't be economical. They would have to compete with large scale outdoor farming operations and that would be that. It really is a gold rush. If you get there too late the money will be all but dried up. I could see people jumping from state to state to take advantage as things play out. It has already happened in Colorado. Lots of Californians have jumped to this state because the competition is too steep at home.
