That's excellent! Comes back to the supply and demand of it all, I suppose. Cali has some sun for sure.

I thought he was making a comparison between perhaps an organic tomato, and a more commercial product. Then comparing that to commercial weed and some that got more attention and love from the grower.
Yeah but $400 for KG'S of hash
and comparing organic versus commercials doesn't even make sense in the point the guy was trying to make.
What is more organic than the damn dirt and sun outside?
Plus he was pointing out LIGHTS indoors versus the SUN outside.
Either way, if he can get $6k+ for this and that BUT buy KG'S of hash for only $400 seems exactly opposite.

he said grow a tomato outdoors, or buy one at the store. he never said lights or indoors.
but yeah that hash thing I don't have any idea on.

Depends on where it's grown, actually. There are a lot of places in Cali that are only good for making process grade cannabis. There's so much dust and blown particles in it, the trichs are always dull.
Best way to use dusty outdoor is to BHO it through a fine filter material. Throw away all that dust and plant material. Bubble hash and dry sift would probably come out pretty dirty.

While we're on the subject of hash, what quantities do dispensaries usually like to buy? Anyone have good experience there?
He was speaking on the amazing OUTSIDE, the only opposite to that WOULD BE inside and if it IS inside I am pretty sure you need to grow WITH lights to have that make sense.
Not trying to gripe with or without you on it, just sounds weird is all. Organic if that was the gripe CAN be down outside for sure.
I am going to be finding out the pricing of about 10 different dispensaries in my area and see what pricing we can work up. They are businesses and will try and get it for the lowest possible BUT it depends on if you want to unload it for that.
Mostly I hear a 30% from retail to a 50% from retail as far as wholesale pricing BUT that varies for sure.

hash
Friend of mine sold a couple ounces of water hash to one club, I think he got $20 a gram for it late last year. They were pretty picky (only wanted actual full-melt bubble hash) but ended up taking every gram off him.
I made it all at home, it started out as 5.5 oz of water hash, but stupid me put some if it away when it hadnt fully dried, and it molded. Lost about half of it to freakin mold. Man I felt soooo bad, will never make that mistake again.
now that's a sad story ^
great thread, you guys in california and in medical states are living in some crazy world

Good point on market saturation, not only is bud more expensive on the east coast, it is harder to find and quality is lower in my experience. Also consider the fact that to transport it that far requires multiple state border crossings into non-medical friendly states. If a single state has more restrictive laws it will remain higher, and buyers will still import from other states, keeping those prices high as well. It will take years to close the pricing gap, especially on premium bud which is very difficult to produce on a massive scale.

That is indeed a sad tale! I find that it doesn't matter too much if you leave it out for a while, to make sure it is totally dry. I don't bother pressing it either, it all just rolls up into a ball real easy any way for anyone that wants it that way. That's awesome, you must have had a lot of material for almost 6 ounces! I made about 3 last time.
That's also pretty good as far as I gather, getting 20 a g. I had asked for 22, and it wasn't fmcd. Not surprised they didn't call me back. XD I'm doin' fine retailing it, though.
to keep from walking out with cash why not use wire transfers? thats how they do it in the movies lol

A check and a 1099 work too!
I have a question: are there any clubs who grow their own? If I understand correctly, the club itself cannot be a caregiver, but what about the owner/employees? Let's say the club has an owner plus 9 employees. Couldn't those 10 individuals sign up as caregivers and each have their own grow? Depending on plant number limits those 10 people could potentially have hundreds of plants. Not a large amount if you do a sog but if you grow trees in a RDWC culture they could possibly supply all their needs. Has no club done this or attempted to?

Many clubs/collectives grow their own. Some even do it on site.
Growing on site seems to be ideal, if you have a warehouse space.
So do you think most clubs who grow are able to supply their own needs and rarely if ever have to purchase from brokers? At 3K a pound for medicinal quality cannabis (average rate from what I've read on this thread) you would think a club could grow their own meds for much less than that. I'm thinking with a large grow op they could grow their own meds for 200-300 a lb, even factoring in cost of equipment.
But I guess I can see why a club wouldn't want to maintain a large grow, what with the DEA always a threat to come bursting through the doors and a 5 year federal minimum for 100 plants and a 10 year min for 1000 plants. Not that the DEA is specifically targeting clubs with grow ops, because it doesn't seem like they are, at least from what I've read, but there's always the fear that their priorities can change...

There is no way some of the busier dispensaries could grow enough cannabis to supply there patients without gathering inventory from vendors.
Regardless of what a vendor plays for 1 pound, they can still turn around break it down and make a LARGE profit off of it.
At 4500$ a pound for OG Kush, and 60$ an eighth, 128x60 = $7680. Theyre going to be making there money no matter where they are getting it from.
If you're a vendor I say charge high. get your money while you can and bounce.
