Stock piling?? That seem hard to believe. Why, so they can try to sell year old weed? What are they gonna do with all that stale schwagg nobody wants already? The must have some of that trash that is already approaching ancient artifact status.
Weed doesn't store well....we all know that. Folks want fresh.
Please explain why they would refuse sales now and keep it for later?
A few points here:
1. The most successful cannabis dispensaries and compassion clinics I've seen are all freezing and storing product, then selling it 6-12 months later. If done correctly, it can work.
2. The way that an LP stores their product is even more intense. Air control, vacuum sealed, humidity control, etc. It's effectively being cured for a year.
3. The most potent marijuana I've ever had was when LCS found a box of old Cannabis Cup samples from
7 years ago and we opened the jars, smoked the product and got knocked on our ass. This was premium product that hadn't been disturbed in over 6 years, sitting in it's own gases and drying out. Dry as it was, it worked like a champ.
4. Folks definitely want fresh, but the bulk of them don't know what that means. I meet people every day who are excited about getting their product "straight off the plant" as if curing somehow reduces the quality of the product.
5. They only have to store it until Spring. The way HC is talking, the pressure is on to legalize before July. The longer they wait, the more upset the law enforcement unions and other groups are getting, because it's putting a burden on everyone. The legislation needs to be put in place so that the police, courts and lawyers can go back to doing things that matter. Last estimate I heard was they will be doing one massive dispensary shutdown at the end of winter and announcing legalization shortly after spring break.
