420grower street herb in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cali</st1:place></st1:City> is cheaper. They are right though prices in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">L.A.</st1:place></st1:City> are out of hand. This isn’t all greed though but money does play the biggest factor. I hear a lot about Nor Cal being cheap and how So Cali co-ops should be the same price.

Logically So Cali co-ops could never match Nor Cal prices even if they weren’t marking up 100%

The reasons for this are 1 the laws in each county of California for medical marijuana are different. Most Nor Cal counties have higher limits on how many plants you can grow and how much you can posses. In <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">L.A.</st1:place></st1:City> we live by the minimum guidelines set by Sb 420.

Another reason is Nor Cali is much more pot friendly. Most counties are a lot more understanding of medical marijuana there and don’t raid legal patients as much as officers in So Cali.

So you add it all up you get Nor Cal patients who are able to grow and posses more pot then us and have friendly law enforcement. The you have So Cali patient who for each note can only grow 6 plants and carry a half pound and are constantly threatened by rogue officers.

Simple supply and demand. General rule of thumb in the marijuana trade is the good buds come from the north IE Nor Cal, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region> and the crappy buds come from the south <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region>. I think this is why we find a lot of Co-ops going up north to get medicine for their patients here. We simply don’t have enough growers to keep up with all the patients in So Cali. We can hope <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">L.A.</st1:place></st1:City> county will raise the limit to at least 12 -24 plants and 1-2 pounds and if that ever happens your sure to see prices fall.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
