you are offering a service, you are priveledged patients are coming to you!
and umm how about charging no more than 150 bucks an ounce
you really think a k for a qp is a good deal? You are insane and must think all patients are millionares as well!
if i was a patient i would avoid you!
Luckily i grow outside where the earth does the work and i am not polluting mother nature through absurd electricity use, which i am sure is the excuse of the growers as to why they charge so much- "oh i used the top of the line eqiupment and pge is spo much so i want top ofthe line prices."...that is an ok mentality but not one that belongs in the medical arena
here in Ca you will find caregivers who are actually aware that cannabis is medicine for some people and paying 250 a zip is impossible, what if a patient smokes an ounce a day? that is a lot of cash. Pounds here in Ca go for abut 2500 right now, and if you are seriously ill, you will get herb for free or little cost no question
Also charging street prices for patients is not only wrong it is un ethical. If you are in the MEDICAL realm than stop saying you are not in it for max profits cuz a k a qp is MAX profits available! Just come to the realization that you are still a dealer, lower those prices and show WAY more love and you will be considered a compasisonate healer.
oh to the poster, i guess this guy is overboard but it sounds like all the stuff a lot of patients think about but are too shy to say or ask. I know if i was looking for a caregiver i would want 90% of what this guy does
couldn't have said it better myself. reps to you.

I agree the wording is pretty extreme but are you saying you don't agree with the premise that caregivers should be screened as to their qualifications? IMO mere supplying is not really enough.
By the time it's legal, the FDA, OSHA and local Health Department will get their hooks in all the growers and make this guy sound reasonable.

And that would be a bad thing how?
Seriously, what specifically "bad" comes out of this form of health regulation (besides profits being lost to increased costs which is not a "bad" thing from a patient perspective).
You misunderstand-- There will be no "Profits Lost"....the cost of all this will be added...to the Consumer-- Don't be fooled-- You will pay for your services--
Or....you can always grow your own--

Quality assurance is great. At McDonalds.
But the post i quoted initially went beyond that. I wanted to know can anybody, any one of you live up to this guys expectations? Do you have mother pedigrees just lying around? If nobody else caught it the patient in question believes that 6 of the caregivers plants will be his. Thats why he wants biweekly updates. So somebody can grow his plants perfectly 4 him, and he never has to lift a finger except to answer the phone every 3 days.
So how about it? Could you satisfy all his wants? Would you?

The guy that wrote that is a condescending ass. Could you even imagine having a person like that in your life? He/she does seem to think that six of the plants are his. I wonder if he plans on paying for any of this. It would be interesting to see how much they think this dream caretaker of theirs is going to cost.

Ain't that the truth! We live in a murky grey area at the moment, and as soon as politicians figure out a way to make money off it, the waters will clarify (like Oakland.)
Proffits will not be lost only transfered. Instead of an average person having a shot at farming cannabis for a living. It will be just like any other crop at that point. The proffits will be sucked up by taxes,regulations,& the farmer will be left strugeling to make it from crop to crop. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have a top notch source for meds. But part of the bueaty of cannabis is cultivating the plant. My anxiety is calmed 100% by simply tending the garden. It could be true for any plant but for me it's cannabis.
By the time you acquire the necessary equipment and strains to satisfy this guy and regulations, do you actually think it's a worthwhile business venture?
I agree what somebody said earlier about growing your own. I just feel like caregivers will go the way of benevolence vs making a living. Scratching a living will be more like it.

Ok blue dot if you don't think he is not asking to much for all of his demands then do it for him and be his hero. Personally i bust my own but doing things for myself and don't have the time to be someones personal guild if they want all of that maybe they should do it for themselves and learn how to as we all have. to me sounds like someone is way to picky and is asking for a dream we all would love to find some one to tell us everything shows us everything and do all the work for us i think i would find heaven.

That patient sounds alright in my book.

Well, I mean there is an entire retail and wholesale hort industry that has to have Ag dept inspections and deal with patented plants and they still think it's a worthwhile business venture.
Then there is the entire Big Pharma who has to undergo R&D, inspections and regulation and they not only think it is a viable venture but prove it's a most profitable one at that so I'm not sure why you or other growers feel so burdened.
If all these other industries can bear it, then why couldn't you?

This guy's demands sound OK to me, as long as he pays the fuck up. I mean, compassion and all is great, but a grower wanting to fulfill the needs put up by a patient like this is gonna need some cash to live on. And with all the work that a grow like this would constitute, he has every right to charge quite some cash. Blue Dot, if you shit cash out of your ass or have 36h in a day so you can run a grow like this AND make a living, that's great for you but most people here aren't exactly rich and I think they deserve a decent living too. This patient is obviously not an old lady with cancer or MS who can't pay for her meds but desperately needs them.

You know the answer is financing. Wall street changes everything. Without the backing of speculators, our industry is not comparable to those industries.

Wow, you look at shit like this and it really stands out why big pharma is fighting us tooth and nail on MMJ. Looking at the newest sweetheart deal that pharma got from the Senate in the health care legislation, it's obvious that they have our politi-whores firmly in their grasp. I wouldn't look to any relief on the federal level anytime soon - or at least until the politi-whores so infuriate the electorate with their abominations that people finally get off their asses and start voting the incumbents out, en masse.

Wow this post has gone crazy. I would like to be able to live up to this guy`s expectations but it is not realistic to me. I dont have pedigrees for my plants. I dont talk to my mom every 3 days, hehe. I let my patients know everything about how i grow, but they dont need to know intimate business details. It is kind of like knowing someone elses wage where you work. It just leads to unnecessary problems.
The real problem with ag or food quality taking over is that like all other such ventures, the little guy(us) will be pushed out by those with already vast resources.
