Colorado Dispensaries: the good, the bad, and the ugly

[Hydro-Soil]

Here in Michigan,you can grow your own,or have a caregiver that grows for you. Needless to say,many so-called CGs have taken advantage of medical MJ pts by promising low prices and jacking them up to street price when the plants are grown.For pts that can't or do not wish to grow,there is no real way to make sure the CG you designate is legit or not. Pts pay the 100.00 fee to the state,the CG pays nothing,and gets to grow 12 plants for their pt. The tough part is that many MMJ pts are on disability or SSI. You have to be ill to get your approval in the first place.

Sickening isn't it?

The people that need cannabis the most are often unable to grow. The legislation is passed by people who believe that growing is as simple as a few seeds, some water and some sunlight.


Funny that I'm giving the exact same complaint that the colonies gave to England before becoming the first states. "No legislation without EQUAL representation!" Until the laws are made by people who actually UNDERSTAND what's what about cannabis, we're in for a world of hurt.

Know anyone who lives in CA? What about friends of friends?? Please pass the word and have them sign up at http://californiacannabisinitiative.org in the next week or two.... we need all the help we can get.

This initiative will directly impact Colorado within a year of it passing in CA!

Thanks!

HighAltitude, if you have stuff posted on another website it is public domain and we can't ask people not to post it.

Regarding all your reports, all I can say is if you want to debate you have to take the good with the bad.....

So I take it he's reporting everyone left and right. I can see that, if he's the same troll that was banned, which at this point is pretty obvious. Morons that do that stuff don't think to change posting styles and stuff like that, go to peoples threads they talked to as their former self, jump up and defend the previous troll, etc. It's really funny. He claims to know the guy from another site. Super transparent.

JJ, isn't ban-dodging an offense here on IC?

Anyhow, to the thread at hand, clonedoc, that sucks man, I can't believe that dispensary is trying to pull that. Just lost any potential business from me, thats for sure. I don't have time for a frickin class when I need meds, wtf?

I see guys arguing about the price of meds quite a bit and would like to ask a couple of questions about it as I see both sides having some valid points. It seems to me that there would be no way for one dispensary to fulfill all patients needs. Some patients dont mind spending top dollar on the best meds period, some are okay with paying more for their meds if other services of the dispensary make it seem worth it, and others are not looking for any other service but the lowest prices they can get.

With this being said I think each dispensary owner must take a look at what the needs are of their targeted patient group and try their hardest to please that group. I can see how the guy wanting to charge the least could think that guys charging more is rape. I also can see how a dispensary that charge quite a bit more and offers many other services to their patients could think that the low price guy is in it for the money as well.

The fact is that not all patients are broke, not all patients need hot stone massages and yoga classes, not all patients need fire, not all can afford to properly medicate with current pricing, and on and on and on......... Just stick to your group and let the patients choose where they need to go to get what they need. I mean if there are places out there that are blatatnly taking advantage of the patient then I think they should be called out but if not I think it would be wise to support each other and further the cannabis movement.

Whats hilarious is all the negative things that were said by him about patients and dispensaries. Now that he's going to become both, the tune has changed. Hypocritical, to say the least.

OK, that ugly business is done, back to the topic at hand. Wow clonedoctor, that is a mighty extensive rule list there, I can't come in period, my body can be used as a weapon, YAH! I just don't have time to be "educated" by each dispensary I frequent, I guess they want to find the desperate patients?

 

[HighAltitude]

WOW !

A few points on price of dispensary meds:

If it's selling and selling hot off the shelves then price will stay the same or even increase. This is just business, and many of us mistake a medical marijuana dispensary for a CARE-giver. But it's just a merchandising store, folks. In this wild west climate of Colorado MMJ in its infancy, no one would open their doors as a public dispensary unless they expect to make cash. Lets face it: a dispensary is a store in a public market; and only the market will (and should) determine the price. Not to mention taking on additional risks/costs from crime and law; along with all the details and work involved in running a busy, BUSY shop.

Still though, prices will drop in due time as supply has been steadily skyrocketing. Has everyone noticed the rate of new dispensaries popping up in the last few months? As do rivers reach the sea, supply will always meet demand. Except for the Okavenga River, which drains into the middle of the desert, but I digress. Everyone values things differently, so I try to be objective in my reviews. Some people only need a few grams each week and they benefit from all the variety being shoveled through the dispensary doors. Many can afford it so they'll gladly pay $50-$60 per week for something excellent. Others need much more medicine so price becomes a big concern.

For those who are realizing that dispensary bud is too pricey, there is an answer! Lets not forget the hundreds of legit caregivers with low patient counts of 2-10. You want a real CARE-giver? Go find one, they're out there. Get out and make connections, be resourceful and proactive in your search for other patients, as the Internet is a wonderful thing. BE THE CHANGE brothers and sisters! Become caregivers yourselves. Charge whatever you think is fair. Hell, I've seen caregivers give away free meds every few months to their patients. $30, $40, $50 for 3.5 grams? Why not go old school and charge $25 for an eighth? Many are already doing just that. It will feel good to look into the eyes of your patients and make life-long friends along the way. Real CARE-givers become karma-receivers.
