Nort, Thank you for your feedback! I am sorry for any confusion that arose from our telephone conversation. When you called and I explained the procedures for membership and for consigning excess, you asked about the range of reimbursement for excess medicine and I informed you about the various tiers that our growers have set. You mentioned a figure in the mid-to-upper range, which I told you fell within our other growers. At no time, did I commit to a sight-unseen, untested acceptance of your excess for our patients. In a year with so much mold, that would be insane and against our commitment to our patients' health and well being! Perhaps because you have little experience in growing medical grade cannabis and consigning to a medical marijuana facility, you are unfamiliar with industry guidelines. But, friend, NO facility in Oregon would accept and contract for sight-unseen medicine. I specifically told you that you would have to bring in a sample of your excess meds. for our budtender to evaluate. He alone handles the intake. As to your feedback on any suggested reimbursement rate by our budtender for your excess crop, you asked for a figure that he thought was high for the quality of your medicine, which lacked test results, and "jar appeal" to justify it. When he showed you a sample from our lowest reimbursement tier, and pointed out its quality in relation to your own, I fear he may have hurt your feelings. I am sorry if he did so, we appreciate every grower, who tries to ease the suffering of our neighbors: it constantly reenforces our faith in humanity and its goodness. While we are always interested in adding to our strains, medibles, concentrates, and topicals for our patients, we cannot always reach an agreement with prospective consignors. Sometimes it is because a grower's reimbursement rate exceeds the quality of their medicine, as in this case. As your skills and strains improve, and again if you have excess medicine, since you live so close, we hope to be able to pair it with the patients who are suffering in our community. Thank you!
