  1. as one of the first patients in this program it was a struggle to get certified in the early enrolment proceedure, that was n not a fault of Vireo Health . I had dropped in weight fom 277 lbs to a weight of 164.5 lbs while on chemo, couldn't eat, sleep well, had no appitite, and in pain, I looked like death. I also take no opiods or morphine as the side affects from them just made me a constipated vegetable. I weighed 168 lbs when I graduated 9th grade. So now my positive commets on the Vireo Health is that every one there is nice and all the videos look great. But I needed to increase my appitite and get some sleep aid. Now the negitive, during the first year 2016 the product started out at the potency goal stated on the product label, 475 mg/ml. Shortly later the potency dropped to only 400mg/ml. and remained at that level for a very long time. This is almost a 20% reduction in medication potency. surely this is in excess of any state or pharmacy code on product consistancy yet I got little resolvement through Vireo and no response through the state health dept on this matter. Their video stated how well they mantain potency and product quality but as you can see it was not maintained. They also on a video stated patient cost was estimated at $300 – $500 a month. my cost for 2016 was $9,700  CASH not including transportation, parking, etc… double what the video stated. cNOTE; it takes about $14,000 gross income to net $9,700. This is a bit of a financial strain based on social security and a small pension income. The topper is none of this is claimable on ones taxes. How can a NEW YORK STATE IMPLIED MEDICAL PROGRAM NOT BE ELIGABLE AS A MEDICAL TAX DEDUCTION!!! I guess we could thank the honorable gov Coumo for that loop hole since no one from New York State has responded to my three emails I've sent over the last year. I would just like to add why is the cost of Vireo Health products  more than twice the price of similar products available in other states; California and Colorado to be exact. I think they need a better harvest team. What was shown in the harvest video was a poor example of mature plants with tiny buds. It's like a person with a phd in agriculture shows great knowledge but the farmer that did't graduate high school grows better produce.

  2. Wow looks like amateurs growing garbage they have no idea how to grow. They probably should not of shown there harvest on tv. Looks like a lot of nutrient deficiency. and buds are not fully developed they need more cal mag and iron . and they are making medicine from this, it shows Coumo didn't get the right people for the job. Good luck. by the way tell them to reduce temperatures in the grow it will help buds to develope bigger, they are to small.
