Do you live in a Medical State with operating Dispensaries? Do you understand operating costs and Employee wages/benefits?
This aint like the street dealer daze my friend.
IE. A lb of A++ herb wholesales to a Dispensary for $4000. The Dispensary will break it down and generate $7800, leaving a 3800 profit. Sounds GREAT huh. easy money.....not.
From that 3800, they have to pay wages (average wage for a typical "budtender" ranges from 30-50,000 a year. Plus FULL medical/health benefits.
Lets talk security. Guards and cameras.
What about the lease money they have to pay every month?
Every reputable dispensary also provides FREE services to ANY MEMBER.
These services include chripopratic,accupunture,massage, and multiple support groups.
They also have discounted prices for folks who are TRULY ill, such as legitimate HIV,Cancer patients.
The BIG kicker...Legal costs. What do you think retainers cost on a business like that? Big $$.
Noone is forcing folks to go to a dispensary,everyone has freewill my friend.
With that said, do your homework man.
I will give you a little credit. Not all dispensaries operate correctly. Yes, there are some that str8 gaffle folks. These soon get shut down, or lose customers and are forced to shut down. It is all about how you treat the end user, as with any other business.
You all have to realize, espesially in the Newer MMJ states ,it takes time to get a hold of a business that is in it's infancy.
I do agree that ALOT of dispensaries are out of hand, but let the end customer "police' them by not giving them thier business, not by allowing the local goverments to regulate them for us.
Yeah..really!
to the folks that want the govt to regulate pot prices...you're kidding right?
Open any introductory economics textbook and you will find a bunch of rules to explain why that would not work...
besides..you really want the govt to regulate our prices and business...really?
