caregivers really give free meds?

here's a question...i don't usually see anyone openly mentioning what rates they are charging as caregivers, specifically for flowers so i was just wondering ballpark what you guys ask for donations. i understand it can be a case by case issue especially for a very sick patient but i'm just curious on a ballpark number for the "general" patient. i've mentioned what my current rates are back on page 2 and my wife thinks i'm selling myself short. i consider my meds to this point to be very decent. am i a seasoned grower who pulls fire every harvest? absolutely not! matter of fact i am still in the minor leagues so to speak so i guess i'm just curious if $150per is about right for my situation or am i selling myself short? sorry for rambling and no my patients are not seriously ill if that matters
 
you would not get any thing from me free ! just get the discounted rate, same price as a dispencary would pay , and you do what ever you decide to do with the meds , could double your cash, caregivers are not making as much as people think , do you know much one electric bill Is a month ? 200 for a bull shit grow to 3000 . average is 500/ 900 plush soil , nutrients, I would shut down if I had to give away for free . let the patient grow there own, will see how easy it really is, stop bitching all you patients, if your caretaker is giving you any thing free take it, and stop bitching, expecially if you don't want the discount rate . 100 to 200 each and could easily double your money, unless caretaker is charging way to much then yes you need some thing free,

personally i'm not really cool with my patients re-selling the meds i grew for them at a profit. thats not what this is supposed to be about. especially since i am getting less from my patients than i would if i sold to the dispensary!
 
Are you assuming most patients are out to make money off of free weed from their caregivers and not using it as medicine for themselves? Can easily double their money... Right that sounds legal.

That donation rate is very fair imo. A lot of variables to consider, but I wouldn't feel like I was getting ripped off if I were your patient and your meds were of good quality.
 
150-200 is what about 80% of the tree out there should run, including most of my own. don't write off $200 if you get a decent batch, especially if you take the time to put a cure on it. most of the tree out there is fresh of the vine, cure time is one place you can elevate yourself above the crowd and ask more. you know when you got something worth more, trust me you will know you just won't get rid of it for less. you will just smoke it all lol.
 
sory guys gals , I posted 2 times on this subject, not trying to be a dick , I just get up set for people trying to take advantage of there caretaker,

Yep. Huel helped me out with some genetics for a patient that has seizures and has had half of his brain removed. They are up to their eyeballs in medical bills and such, and everything they get from me is free. I wouldn't dream of charging them a penny. Another patient of mine has IBS and does well financially, so he donates every time he needs meds.
