Let's be real for a second.

  1. Businesses are a cash grab. Thays all they are. That is WHY they exist. That isn't to say there aren't benevolent owners with good intentions in the world; but the PURPOSE of a business, any business, is to maximize profit.

  2. The med card thing is joke. I thought I got scammed. It was a single zoom call, I paid with a card by phone and then they connected me. LITERALLY from the time we I teoduced ourselves to the time the phone call was over, 58 seconds. Not an exaggeration.

He asked what ailments I had, I had a paper I had typed out for reference, I said I get headaches, he cut me off "medicinal marijuana has been shown to treat headaches, I think we can sign off on this"

Of the 12 people I know with med cards, probably 2...MAYBE 3.... use it for legitimate reasons; everyone else viewed it as a weed tax.

I haven't seen it in person, because I haven't been since it went rec, but I've heard they sell med at bit of discount than rec...same product, different pricing.

If thats true, from a business perspective, doesn't make sense to give up extra revenue while also potentially alienating (what is expected to be) the bulk of your customer base.

Yeah I was at Flora Farms on Saturday and they were giving a similar discount for med customers.

They also get a better rewards system. I get a free OZ pretty often.

I imagine many “rec” users are also from states that have yet to legalize even medical use and want options other than a steady stream of pharma opiates for their chronic pain. I get that the situation is frustrating for OP but it also comes off a bit privileged, like those people don’t deserve the opportunity for relief as well.
