Think lower, much lower.
Pick up a local Westword and there is page after page of $150 an ounce advertisements.
Due to our strict laws, there is not a pound price, as even a caregiver for five patients and yourself, you are only able to "legally" posses 12 ozs (minus whatever your patients have).
But a peak at our local craigslist health and beauty section will show that prices are very very low.....

I never said it didn't happen, but you are in the Colorado Medical section, so that is how i answered the question.
Look on CL you will find pounds.
but at $150 an oz, thats only $2400 a lb, so i am sure you can finish the math......

No, not top shelf, but at lb level yeah your not far off, 2400-2800 seems to be the high end, but again this is non medical. We cannot sell to shops, cali still can. Kind of causes an odd flooding of the market.

See what $150 for an ounce will get you. It seems there is a lot more crappy weed out there than there is decent and a lot of it is coming from the dispensaries. I gave 5 grams for $40 to one of my patients and she started texting me later that night telling me her friend said he gets eighths for $20 at the dispensary and she started accusing me of charging to much. I told her she should go to the dispensary from now on, a week later she texts me again asking if I had any and that I was right, the dispensary stuff was shit. I told her I don't deal with people that are a pain in the ass and to remove me as her caregiver.
there is actually a few that care about there patients but out of the hundreds and hundreds that are out there i can count the good ones on one hand. i love reading all the adds in the independent for top shelf meds selling for 150 an ounce. a friend went in and bought one. he tried to take it back it was so harsh...

Don't forget it was the dispensaries that hired a lobbying group and pushed our lawmakers to pass laws so that they could control the whole MMJ scene and regulate caregivers out of business. Fuck the dispensaries, wouldnt bother me one bit to see them all lose everything.

That statement is pumped out there by caregivers with great enthusiasm, but has no real merit.
The ones making bank are caregivers, black market growers, and the state/local/federal governments.
Overhead is a bitch, and dispensaries have a shit load of it.
My personal income as a large dispensary owner is SIGNIFICANTLY less than what I made in any of the last 30 years, and significantly less that what was paid out collectively to small, medium, and big brothers.
Stay off the radar, there is much more profit there.

Dispensaries did not hire lobbyists, it was a couple of dispensary owners.
MMIG,that did not represent the opinions of all caregivers by any means. We were all caregivers at that time if you remember.
Nice.
Funny how caregivers thought dispensaries were the greatest thing ever until the day that they could no longer sling their "extra" meds to the shop owners.
That was the exact day that "dispensaries are evil" started flowing from their lips.
Flame on.....

Can you blame us? I had a 12000 watt flowering room myself and two friends ran to supply a dispensary and hb 1284 drove us out of the state, everyone deserves their fair share we want to keep things in the hands of true growers not just the ones who were lucky enough to get a license, it's right when business leaves the hands of the individual and moves to the commercial scale everything goes to shit and by the sounds of it the quality isn't what I remember and the market is crippled forcing overflow east

Through forces generated from the changing legislative and legal environment, caregivers like you and I were forced to make decisions. The decision was basically go big or go small. Rather than boot our 25+ pre 1284 patients to the curb we opted to continue forward and go the dispensary route. It wasn't luck that provided a license. We quit our day jobs, we cashed in our 401Ks, we worked 365 days a year for 2 years, we gambled our lives and freedoms that we might be someday be successful in an excessively competitive market. It was hard work, dedication, compliance with a shit ton of regs, a finely tuned business acumen, and huge fucking piles of cash paid out to governmental agencies that granted a license. It's our ability to continue providing a quality product that keeps the doors open. Behind the "commercialism" still lies the same grower that had been helping patients pre HB10-1284.
Somehow because we are now a dispensary, we get to hear from the bitter caregivers about how we grow shitty meds, we rape sick people for their money, and are generally a bunch of uncaring assholes. Talk like this coming from the remaining caregivers and black market growers does nothing to further the MMJ cause, perpetuates infighting, and is simply untrue. It gets old.

i am not a caregiver..agreed that under the radar is the best...had a friend who was part owner of a dispensary and he made bank...in colorado a few years back you could buy from the grower ...and there was a few dozen who moved product to them at 2k an elbow..and break that up into eighths and ounces and turn that 2k into 6400...they were clearly making bank..much more than the grower or the state or the black market hustlers...that you can not dispute
