Vending to clubs, what is it like for you?

[Norkali]

flooded like a river right now

yeah, am into the outdoor scene. Flooded with outdoor i should say. I mean I have some super fire organic outdoor trimmed up to perfection. I havent tried taking it anywhere but ive just heard that places will try and low ball me, i dont want less than 2800 for reimbursment but i have heard places like harborside and others try and low ball you for like 2200 and only want one.

Exactly. I haven't seen the menu change up at GKG for over a week now...I've got some indoor and outdoor 91' Chem, but I know that I would not be able to be reimbursed for what it is worth with the market right now. Pugnacious is 100% correct.

I dont know about you guys, but many dispensaries want you to put it on there "front step" while you have to wait for them to pay. I've been to a dispensary that offered me 2500 for outdoor in the "drought" season. but that is what i expect with how many dispensaries and how easy it should be to provide medicine to them. my friend has gotten 4200 for topshelf

He got 4200 for topshelf outdoor?

 

[pugnacious]

All that high quality indoor is stocked up meaning you guys have it but hold it back? Or do you mean the regular patients who provide you with quality indoor don't come in to vend during and after outdoor harvest? I mean I can understand why they wouldn't because clubs don't pay top dollar for it while outdoor is pouring in the door right? I mean I wouldn't want to get paid 1000-1500 dollars less a # just because the outdoor season is in.

The growers are stashing there top shelf stuff until the outdoor season is over. Which is understandable.

thats just the swing of the market...
for a few months there will be a huge rush of outdoor from all over the place.

one garden i know... only 25'x75'... was expecting to produce 80-90lbs total for the season. grown right. trimmed pretty. still only fetch at max 2000-2200 per lb direct sales from the grower to the shop. which i think is fair/good pricing.

its all about DIRECT sales and removing as many middle men as possible.

i don't really believe anybody paid in full 4200 for an lb of outdoor. maybe if it was pieced out but right now with the industry the way it is (buyers/distributors are NOT stupid) there is no way in hell anyone is gonna fetch more than 3200 for top quality outdoor. not right now.

Lebniis - the phrase/s you are thinking of is NET TERMS (ie paid in full x days after delivery). others simply call it consignment.

 

[opt1c]

foaf gets 4K all day indoor or outdoor drought or no drought; in cali no less... his reputation precedes him and people know if they lowball there are others in line just chomping at the bit to take his work; right now he only deals with one guy and has another on reserve; they both have standing orders for anything he feels like giving them... he just never charges more than 4 but he never charges less. they take the outdoor cuz they want to be offered the indoor. gotta find those niche markets boys.

 

[bterzz]

I agree. I just saw some blackberry kush (outdoor) that was so frosty that came from up north go for 4 all day long. It looked amazing, smelt amazing, tasted amazing, frosty as all hell.

Believe the man. I can verify your pricing. 2200 direct trinity area greenhouse purple has hit the street. This is good pricing for greenhouse grown 4200 and 4800 for two top shelf indoor strains.

This thread should disappear. Way too many figures and numbers and incriminating stuff.

incriminating how?

medical marijuana vending between legal patients?

 

[Greyskull]

This thread should disappear. Way too many figures and numbers and incriminating stuff.

if you are worried about 'too many figures' and 'incriminating stuff' why do you log in & post on a website dedicated to the cannabis plant?

have you even seensome of the grow logs? if you think this stuff is bad don't even look at some of the big boy grow logs haha

stay safe

freal Greyskull knows what's up...I was also thinking that hiding this info makes it more sketchy. At least when it's in the public's eye people know that we aren't all money hungry exploiters of the sick.

A lot of people are looking at cali like it's the new "green rush", unfortunately like it's been stated the market has been flooded with mostly mediocre medicine. Those who do strive for quality suffer, because it seems for every one serious connoisseur there's multiple others who just want more. Quality over quantity in my books but with a horrible economy people aren't splurging like they once did This created a market for the "mids". Along with that, most of the highest echelon medication fetches almost double down south, so it's becoming a mediocre market up north. Don't get me wrong, I think the best weed in the world comes from Norcal, but the market for it is outrageous. Once (some, not all mind you) club owners realized that what ever is on the shelf regardless of quality will sell, they realized they could get away with buying the cheaper and making more profit. I used to work at a very busy dispensary where on a weekend day $250,000 wasn't unheard of. When something wouldn't sell they'd just throw a new name on it. Bull shit I know, but that was only the start of the downward spiral. My boss tried claiming 3 mil on one year of taxes and was eventually raided by the DEA. I took off long before that though, actually I was fired because I was one of the only one's working that looked at it as medicine, which contradicted the higher ups ideal$. They grew 95% of everything that hit the shelf, and extremely low balled everything even if it was best. An older couple used to be one of the only vendors that we'd actually dealt with. They'd pay them 2250 a lb. for GDP, never a penny more. It was utterly great too, so great we would sell it without a discount. $50 an eighth upto a QP meaning we would get $6400 a lb. making $4,150 each lb. and everytime they came they would bring more than 5. This was always gone within a couple days too.

Anyways I rant because I care. I have a lot of personal experience in the biz, and I would love to share my knowledge so others can take note, and progress.


Best of luck and be safe.

In all fairness, the last time I was in cali I was there around this time of year and I saw some dank outdoor that would make most of the guys from my neck of the woods/swamp drool. For the people used to getting mids and airy buds, nor cali outdoor is bomb dank goodness. I am just saying... lol.

I just wish more people knew what was actually going on.

Keep teaching us.

I didn't want to bash, but I really have all rights to, yes it was LPC. I actually am still owed over $12,000 in overtime that they never paid me. A lot of those who worked there got together and filed suit through the state labor board. When it finally came time to pursue our lawyer said it was ill advised and they would not pursue because of they type of business. Straight up bullshit, I kind of want to start pursuing it again seeing as I'm unemployed and in full time nursing school, and quickly dewindling on funds. Anyways sorry to clog the thread with off subject banter, but when asked I try to oblige.

To keep this on subject though I really think most places should have a better trading/buying policy. I crop some amazing meds and majority of time the best strains are never good producers. I normally have some left over, but not always huge weight. Most places will laugh if you ask to get rid of just a couple ounces, but one place in berkeley BPG does such a thing and I think it improves the quality factor exponentially. I know as someone who values quality, it's hard to find something up to what I want, at least something I'd be willing to pay for. And on the flip side I feel like (of course there's a growers bias) the medicine I grow is superior to what I can buy. It's like a sandwich, sure you can easily go to subway or togo's and buy one, they even have them at 7.11 now, but the one you make yourself is always better because you care more about making it. And I feel the same with my medicine, why should I sell something in my mind is worth 4+ at least, to someone for almost have the price so that they can profit? It's like taking that culinary masterpiece of a sandwich and selling it to a big sandwich corp like subway and getting back enough money to then only buy a 6".

All that said, the current market creates a bad name for everything. Clubs, growers, patients all suffer as a result. I wish I was able to operate a club and of course you need to make money to live, but you don't need to screw others over in the process. It's easier said than done I know and with so many elements involved it's easy to act as though I would do it better. But in reality the quazi legality still makes it a money game, when it should really be about those who need it as medicine. Not downing recreational use, but at this time if we had had that attitude the whole time, we'd be a lot more progressed. I think that would also create an obviously medicinal statement, inturn taking away the taboo and making recreational use more accepted.

But hey that's just one prophet's

I get upset with the crap that's going on too, but I really would not get involved in dispensing for 3 mil / year myself. I don't want to deal with all that. This site was not founded on the backs of retail aficionados, or punk street dealers (like OG ...oh snap...JK)...

..It was built on the backs of us farmers...
...those with acid stained clothes that have toiled in buckets
...We would rather trade competitive banter, bud pictures, and explicits
...and that does include a few fuckits)

...It was O.K. you get my point.
