MMPR- meet the players

[Green Supreme]

In my experience, if a dealer has 2 kinds of weed, one more expensive and one less expensive. They usually sell all the more expensive one, before selling any of the less expensive one. Peace GS

Hey pangea have you already applied to be a LP?

You've said this before med-man, then reneged, I have quoted both posts.

Lets see if ya can hold true to your word this time...

I've said consistently that my price for will be $1.5/g

For patients sake I hope you can offer a similar price...

But you better watch that organic talk, that there is federally regulated, and guess what, no provisions in the Organic Products Regulations for hydro growing, you cannot use the word organic on your labels or advertise that your products are organic unless they are certified.

I, however, will be applying for organic certification once I am producing under the MMPR.

 

[Pangea]

For legal type reasons I have been unable to submit, I hope to very soon.

Price fixing is not the solution.

Pricing meds directly based upon the cost to produce + enough profit to keep the company viable is the solution. And anyone who has done a business plan would see that it is not $7 per gram.

Isn't price fixing synonymous with capitalism?
Besides, how do you determine whats "enough profit". For me "enough" may be 100k a year, for you it may be ten times that much, it all depends on what one wants.
Regardless, I'm certain that the few LPs whos aim is to undercut the competition wont be able to stay afloat for long, the rest will eventually unite as members of a legitimate association and lobby as a united front.

 

[Pangea]

Dr bud, do you believe it possible than an LP who has a low price, may not be aiming at undercutting its competitors, but may in fact be doing so as to provide the sick and poor with quality medicine that they can afford and would otherwise be suffering without?

 

[Dr. Buddington]

Pangea, I salute you for your empathetic approach, I sincerely hope that your plan works out and turns out to be sustainable in the long run. If you can keep your costs down to a minimum and want to make a modest living - more power to you.
Personally I aim to charge $5-6 per gram for high quality, well cured, certified organic medication. Granted my business plan is a bit different from what most people aim for when getting into the LP industry.
Fortunately there is room for different types of people since the industry is in its infancy stages. I guess only time will tell as to what approach is the better one.

Good luck to you too!

Different strokes for different folks, people should judge LP's on their own individual merits, price is not the only factor one can use to judge, but it is an important one, specifically to those with financial disadvantages and health problems, and for some reason there is no shortage of people that fit into that description.

hi pangea

i watch whatever i want lol. you think that restrictions apply to med-man brand lol? i will be travelling the world promoting my products to uruguay, isreal, u.s., etc. my brand sells itself. just because my labels wont have certification, does not mean my market wont know what time it is. if it says med-man tables on my labells, there will be no question. sit back and take notes. i will be the model to follow

maybe once you get a lic were can have peer based discussion.

after i sweep 6-7 cups this year. you will have your work cut out for ya in the marketing department

med-man

 

[med-man]

Med man, for the twentieth time - you cant certify hydroponically grown plants/produce/flowers/etc as organic.
As for your plan to undercut the competition - its a sure way to avoid having friends amongst your peers in the industry. Its better for everyone to keep a reasonable price in a similar range. This way people have access to safe, affordable medication and every LP gets to pay their bills.
Also, by having similar prices, the product would speak for itself and the sales would be directly proportionate to the quality one puts out.

hi dr buddington

my brand sells itsself. what is your brand name again?

med-man

 

[Dr. Buddington]

Hmm, why would the Chosen buy medicine from a Goy?
Lol, only time will tell who comes out on top. Best of luck to you Med man, you should ease up on the bravado though.

 

[Dr. Buddington]

I'm not tying my business to this forum screen name. As for my "brand" - there isn't any. We have different approaches to marketing.

 

[med-man]

didnt vagpuncher say last year the only guy that could be an LP would be chimera lol

goes to show how much people really know lol

on another note. will have a molecular bioligist and organic chemist and a brand new lab with all the best machines in my new lab. so any LP i can help to thc and cbd and quality control test, plus genetic patenting please feel free to contact me when you need. i will be undercutting all the other certified labs world wide

med-man

 

[med-man]

hi doctor bud

respect. i can save you tons of money on tests potential strain patenting/trademarking

i look forward to helping you anyway i can. if you think having a internationally , trophy winning company is a bad marketing appraoch, that cool too. i am interested to see how our new industry evolves and what cool ideas and creative approaches people come up with.

as well, i will undercut any other nute supplier you have while offering the most cannabis specific nute line in the world. is lowering costs and increasing yiled and quality an objective we both can agree on?

med-man

 

[Dr. Buddington]

Thank you for your generous offer Med man. Remember, I clearly stated that there are many ways to reach the same goal. No approach (marketing or otherwise) is inherently wrong or bad, some are just more efficient than others. Good luck.

hi dr bud

you are welcome. minus my avatar and infamous reputation non business minded trolls make for me. i have built myself up on the reputation of doubling yields, increae quality by 25% or more and lowering overhead and labor by more then half. focusing on winning formulas is usually our main objective as a whole up here. creating success for everyone has and always will be my main objective. the money comes easy with this model, and is secondary

i am looking forward to "friendly" competition and, if possible, mutaully productive agreements for both of us
