I notice a lot of the commercial brand name products have the same price regardless of the quality. Majority of people don't want to smoke top shelf for the price, they want something in their price range or budget. This is where dealing straight with the grower would benefit those folks who want great cannabis because the price point may be closer to what they pay for mids.
I believe whats holding them back is they are treating weed like a crop it was never intended to be grown like this in major quantities. It goes back to mexcan brick weed grown on a commercial scale not that good but it would get you high and kill your lungs. Small time growers on the black market had so much better weed because they are charging for their expertise and dedication if you could find a grower like that. I’m just glad we are able to grow ourselves. And I find myself on herbs Facebook page now and again reading all these comments about how great the dispensary weed is from a punch of young hipsters that have no idea what good weed is talking about all the flavors when they smoke it and it takes every ounce of my being not to call them a bunch of idiots. Rant over sorry.
A late friend was on MMJ in NM. Every bit of bud he got sucked ass. Zero smell or taste. There was only one guy in the south of the state growing good stuff and he died. Of the cancer that got him into the game.
I have multiple professional grower friends here. Not surprisingly all grew before it was legal. I have continued to buy their products when I want a break. Theirs. The retailers they work for sell the same strains and the difference is amazing. You can’t turn out real quality in volume. We check trichs on each plant. Is it time?
Holy shit $530 an oz!! The bud looks terrible too!
Yeah dude only 3 companies operating on the island of Oahu and they are making a killing. One of them just opened a second store on the east side of the island. There was a bill to legalize recreational and it got shot down. I'm sure there was some money changing hands somewhere. The 3 stores don't want to lose their monopoly. They've got a captive customer base. 1.5 million people on this island and if only 1% have their med cards that's 15,000 people who can't go anywhere else. Fuck me, I just thought I was making a killing back in the day when I was getting 4k for a lb. At $530 and OZ that's 8,480 a lb. @ $24 a gram it's $10,896. I'm hating on them but I'd take it if I could get it.
One person can only properly take care of so many plants and to expect a crew to be as OCD is about impossible these days since everyone seems to have no pride another issue is massive growers chart feed instead of individual care
Yes that what I meant, sorry for any confusion
Few commercial growers have a clue on how the 80-100 different terpines in cannabis interact in a synergistic fashion w/cannabanoids, to produce our desired results.
