Yes. We call it Concurrent Cultivation. This means that you can continue to grow with a medical license while you go through the application for a Micro License. Even when you are granted your Micro license, you can continue to grow medically (call us for specifics).
Any licensed cannabis producer can purchase your cannabis. However, the goal of Joint Venture Craft Cannabis is to work with experienced growers so we can bring their high quality cannabis to market.
As for the price – it’s all over the map. Cannabis is a commodity where supply and demand along with its quality and THC, CBD and terpene content determines current trade value. Working with Joint Venture, growers will get market value for their product and, most importantly, will have FULL TRANSPARENCY with the financial transactions of their product.
