They just passed the law and somehow they already have weed in stock?

    Holy shit. I just looked up a place thats closer than where I usually go, but those prices are higher than Snoop on his way home from Paris!

      That’s how it always goes but after a year or two the prices hit rock bottom once the market is flooded as long as there aren’t weird restrictions on licensing.

        Is that why I can find some brands in Colorado and not in Michigan? Or are there just really that many brands?

          Im not sure, but based on what I’ve seen, I think different states each have their own brands. They are probably all owned by the same parent companies though.

        A dispensary near me just got in 200mg edibles for $3. Both me and the attendant were sort of suspicious of it (new brand, new product), and I stuck with my usual brands, which vary between $12 and $20 for the same quantity.
        But 2 years ago, my ‘usual’ was $18-$25 for 100mg.

        They’re definitely racing to the bottom, and we’ve already had a few local grow ops go under as bigger outfits are taking advantage of economy of scale/better planning.

      Give it time for the novelty to wear off, then hope the state can navigate the impending rebound without too much consolidation.

        So, taking a closer look, they weren’t as bad as the first few items I saw, but the cheapest was $10 a gram ($6/g for the one strain they had a 200g bag)
