Quality will always beat quantity. Long term > short term
Life isn’t short term… especially if you want to be successful or live. Really most young people have this short term mentality and these people getting involved in cannabis are ruining the future of it as they’re being influenced by shitty people and shitty practices, cough social media cough
I’m rambling though… my point is quality beats quantity…
I’ve said this for idk how long now, but my belief is that the cannabis industry will eventually mirror the beer industry, namely the relationship between macro and micro breweries. Just because Anheuser-Busch and InBev flood the market with dirt cheap shitty beer, doesn’t mean that there aren’t still robust regional microbrewery scenes.
I’m pretty tired of all the sour grapes from folks about how “corporate cannabis” is ruining or going to ruin the industry. Ask any of the big names around here, if you’re producing fire and you have an established customer base, that business ain’t going anywhere.
If you’ve decided to dip your toes in after all your competitors have had up to 25 years of a head start on you (or more when you consider traditional market experience), you’re gonna have a bad time. To keep with the beer industry analogy, this is akin to complaining that the industry is ruined because people won’t buy your mediocre home brews, when they can either go to the established microbrewery down the road, or go pick up a cheap 6-pack that still gets them just as drunk.
Nailed it with creepy accuracy.
There you go. God has not abandoned the legacy market, the market is maturing. No longer is it acceptable to grow shitty quality flower or make shitty extracts because its the only thing around. The big players can still flood the market with shit because they have volume, but if you’re small, you have to charge for your craft and more importantly do a good job.
Where are these fire sub 2k pounds of fire lol asking for a friend
All over Oregon, I’ve seen free piles of lights in Salem and Eugene just sitting on the street and a ton of posts trying to sell em on FB marketplace
People dump them here at a free pile rather than paying togo to the dump. With copper prices only getting higher there scrapping all the old and new ballasts.
The west coast sounds so surreal with it’s dumping fees and free piles.
In south florida we have front lawns lol
Same here in Michigan
Private use decriminalization via court orders in South Africa have made growing at home legal so all the buyers that were buying imported Swaziland cannabis now sell or grow their own. So mid grade trimmed outdoor is like 50-100 USD kilo, With it going down in price as buying bulk.
I for one would love to see pics of some African flowers!
This was 2-4 rands a gram but now people are lucky if this will fetch 1 rand a gram. Most of this moves in bulk 20-40 liter bags (about 10 or 20 kilos, they use volume not weight here lol)
Honestly the markets just balancing out to what it should be. The days of the middle man are gone. Growers can sell directly to retail(everyone has a distribution license) and the game of buy low sell high is long gone.
As mentioned above it’s a commodity crop and will be grown and sold as such. The funny thing about commodities is that they’re only worth what the end consumer is willing to pay… which isn’t much usually.
I don’t envy any growers/manufacturers right now. Some of the best growers I know are selling there licensed farms and figuring out what to do next. Growing 1000 lbs of weed isn’t easy and you’re going to make $500k at most? Get outta here.
The markets going to change from here on out and if you’re not creating value daily in the supply chain you will be pushed out.
A post was merged into an existing topic: Capitalismsucks420 Dump Site
make it from frozen outdoor at 100 a lb
10k gets you 3lbs of rosin worth 12k ea
in Oregon zaza is going for 16-2k on bulk
If margins are really like that, don’t expect it to last and capitalize while you can. Margins like that attract a lot of attention!
its been like that for years and the price of fresh frozen wont go any lower and rosin will probably never fall under 20 a g on bulk due to lower yields than hydrocarbon and way more labor
Especially in this industry
Pretty soon we’ll be seeing “D8 Rosin”
trust bro we grew the flower and do our own HPLC
That’s interesting but also could prove short sighted as far as the future price of rosin goes. Cold pressed cannabis oil is potentially just another commodity in the future.
