Paying for medicine vs. growing your own. The case for a professional MMJ class
How much are you paying right now for medicine? Can you afford to continue paying that over the long term? Are you going through periods of not having medicine due to unreliable care givers? How do you put a price tag on these things? More important, how do you put a price tag on making sure they don't happen again?
Knowledge empowers patients to be self sufficient, we offer patients that knowledge.
Even when the cost of the class is taken out of the equation, a patient is still looking at an investment of several hundred dollars in order to grow at home properly. And yet even then, it is still a good investment. Here is why:
When compared to paying for your medicine over the long term, be it from a caregiver or even in the future compassion centers (whenever they arrive) patients save the most money and get the best quality when they grow their own medicine. Period. There is just no comparison.
The amount of money you save along with the increased quality of your medicine and also the peace of mind from knowing that you never have to go without medicine again, all because you grow your own medicine, is more than worth a modest investment in knowledge and understanding.
