Recreational has finally hit the state, and of course now there are new issues that come along with it.For those who are not aware, 3C, or compassionate Care Center, is now owned by GTI. For those wondering about the relevance, well it has to do with share holders and profit margins now.Where 3C, prior to being bought out, would tout being about it's patients, and looking out for what's best for them, has now become a company seeking the highest profits.With that, I've noticed over the span of 4+ months that waxs, shatters, budders, etc have slowly been dwindling down off the menu.Today I came in and there wasn't a single wax extract on their list, but their vape and Edible sections have seemed to remain untouched. Some might wonder the relevance here, and I'll point it out now. Edibles and vapes are high profit margin items, where as wax was the most cost effective for patients.One gram of wax, usually about 60$ or so bucks, can last a patient significantly longer than a gram or even an 1/8th of dry herb, and especially more cost effective than edibles are*The margins in edibles are ridiculous because of the candy portion in them; apparently that justifies paying over 40% more for less cannabis in your product.*From GTI stand point I understand the move, force customers to make the switch to high profit items, and therefore make shareholders and investors happy... From the consumer standpoint, and especially a customer of COMPASSIONATE care center, it really irks me that they believe this move isn't noticeable by others.GTI, who again owns 3C, also owns some cultivation centers. They CHOOSE to not make waxs on large scale to give scarcity to the market causing customers to purchase high margin items instead.After a brief discussion with Greg, the manager, he said they have no control and it's nothing they can control.. I slightly believe this, as they are just store operators and GTI is the one who really has the largest say in cultivation products made and thus supply to stores, especially their own...(however they also receive bonuses and incentives from these companies when they sell certain amounts of products.. I wonder how good the incentives must be for them to push edibles as hard as they have.. again the mark up is significantly higher than other forms of the products)I got into a deeper discussion with Dan about the logistics of it all, and it came down to, we can only order what's on the list, and even when they order say... 300 containers of waxs, they may only get shipped 15. *Again elluding to the fact the cultivation centers control more then they should, and directing the market towards the products that make them the most. Some may wonder why this is a big deal, for those who didn't read my old review before this update, I'm not rich, my spinal injury makes working hard, and getting the money for relief is getting harder and harder each month.Being unable to even get the products I need, such as CBD based waxs with lower THC, is bad enough without spending a premium on products I don't even want, but it's all they have to sell for *whatever reason*Do your own research on this subject, but I personally see a lot of hypocrisy in what this store claims to offer for it's patients in term of care, and what agenda GTI is pushing on them after buying them out and making the employees care a bit more about money than I'd care for, at least for a place called *compassionate Care*You can agree or not, but after researching, debating, and coming to my decisions, this is where I've landed
