I would imagine it depends on what part of California you are in too. Out here in the IE it's probably easier to help supply some of the local clubs and deliveries since they are way small compared to the big ones up in the SFV. Especially if you are willing sell at a low price.
Like they said above, you need to bring something different to the table. If you don't have exotic strains, or you aren't one of the top growers then you can bring rock bottom prices to the table. In the story above the guy sold a pound for $250 an ounce, well if you can sell yours for half or even less then you could probably pick up business easier.
Out here in the IE clubs are limited and you are talking $60 and $70 8ths can be the norm and it sucks for the people who really need it. Now if it were me, and let's say I harvested and ended up with something like a two so I needed to get rid of 1.5lbs I would just call up one of the services I use and offer it to them for like $50 an ounce so long as they promise not to inflate the price too much for the patients. Would they go for it? Dunno, but if I ever end up with 2lbs of weed I will let you know.
If that doesn’t work, make hash, honey oil, or edibles, maybe they would be more likely to buy that sort of thing
