Signing over my "rights" to a dispensary for a measly 1/8 or even an ounce per month....now thats taking it up the pooper in my opinion.
Really? A free 1/8th for doing nothing other than signing up? Sounds like a good deal to me. (I am not a member of any dispensary)
No one is giving you an ounce a month.
If you do not sign up you get nothing.
Most places do not need any members as they have enough to cover their plants.
One place told me on the down low that I don't need to sign up, just ask for member prices.
I mean, even using the example mentioned at 2 to 3 oz./plant/60days....with a minimum potential yield of 6 ounces every 60 days (which I think may be a little on the low side but nonetheless)....so, a couple o' three ounces per month coming off my State Sanctioned 3 plants in flower at a time....and a caregiver is going to drop me an 1/8. OUCH.
They are running a highly regulated business. This is not socialism. Again, if you do not sign up with someone, you get nothing. That 2-3 oz per plant every 60 days does not work, they have to veg them too. They have to pay $50,000 license fees, regulatory fees, state mandated security... They are a for profit business and have massive overhead that is not deductible.
Yes. I agree....Growing my own certainly beats the hell out of giving up my rights and getting reamed by a caregiver.
I will always grow, my weed is so much better than 99.99% of dispensary weed. It is so easy to grow great organic weed. The good folks in the organic section are very helpful. Watering with tap water every few days is so easy.
You are not getting "reamed by a caregiver" that is nonsense.
And, I'll be damned if I was to give my plant count to a caregiver and pay the individual for medicine on top of giving up my plants...
Then you will be damned, because that is how it works.
Also, as I inquired of the dispensaries I visited what the benefit of becoming a member of their specific collective was....and more times than not it was a discount across the board on all products....however, I dont recall if that required giving up my plants to the dispensary.
If you sign up as a member, you are making them your caregiver. When I ask about if you can sign up and grow, almost every one has said you can do that. Of course they would say that though.
If your red card is blank, how would anyone know if you are signed up somewhere?
In addition, the shear pleasure of growing is priceless.
Fuckin' A. I do not need to look at my plants every day, but I do.
OK. Thanks for the comments. If anyone else cares to comment on how I might best utilize my State sanctioned/approved 6 plants I appreciate it. Something tells me there is more than one way to skin a cat....and additional ideas for maximizing the opportunity granted to me.
You could buy 3 1,000 watt hps lights and grow one plant under each one. You could easily pull a pound a plant and legally keep all of it.
There are 4,080 ways to skin this cat.
. Thank you very much. Of course, so far I have made good use of a couple of dispensaries for medicine. Thinking long term, I wish to put my 6 plant limit to best use. I do not fully understand how the caregiver or grower thing works if I decide not to grow my own. Could someone explain the caregiver thing to me to make the best use of my 6 plants. Also, as a note....although I have grow experience....I am an amatuer
. Please help Colorado MMR patients and caregivers !!!!!
