i get what you are saying, but besides growing your own there is simply no alternative.
You got Bedrocan - if Tweed's pricing or availability issues are a complaint they could always let you know about Bedrocan, decent on price and availability. That's what comes to my mind whenever it feels uncool
and where else could you go that is better? Another LP, a dispensary, a neighborhood grower? I have no problem getting rid of excess product above price any day - never heard a complaint about Tweed buds (but mine is not a market like Vancouver's or Toronto's)
No one is out there offering premium product, guaranteed availability, convenience AND a $3 gram, I really wish there was - maybe if you had contacts in Van...
you can't beat grow your own on price, but it takes an investment in time and money - it isn't convenient by any means, anytime I want to go away for a few days, I got dogs, a infant child and some plants to worry about.
Bottom line, it all comes down to supply and demand - Tweed and Bedrocan are out to gain some market share and make some margins while they are at it - I am sure Bruce Linton and crew are in a better position to determine how best to do that than anyone on this board
Here's to Future Growth
