Everything is tracked from seed to sale. Every iota of waste, trim, and bud. Every MIP (kitchen) tracks every infintesimal amount of product and thc. Every bud used to make recreational anything has to go through the kind of testing never seen in agriculture. There is literally more crap on one strawberry than is allowed in our whole harvest. Medical begins testing in July. You can't buy from unauthorized grows. The lie would fall apart at the first step.
Dispensary owners are rich-y, yes. But its a hard fought for rich. Between the health department, the MED, and the entire banking institution, and the fact that if you get robbed your insurance covers nothing, you really have to put in a day. People in charge of compliance make the most in dispensaries. Pay your managers well so the doors stay open. Budtenders make anywhere from $14-$20 an hour.
Growers have it good. They have their own loops and regulations but their problems are going to be quality problems or contamination problems. Both easily avoidable with a grower worth his chops. Trimming is often done by subcontracting it out. Growers are happiest.
Testing - there are only 4 testing facilities equipped to test marijuana in Colorado. Its a necessary, expensive evil that we have long waiting lists for. I would imagine the people that own the testing facilities are even happier than the growers. But I haven't technically met one yet so I stand with the growers are the happiest.
