What's Cookin?

It's the same here. I get it for a little cheaper off the streets than our dispensary sells it. Makes no sense at all.

 

No disagreement there at all except for flower co.they seem to be all legal and the prices are insane, volume I suppose.

 

The point of legalization is freedom. The prices will sort themselves out.
You can get an 8th for 25 - 35 round these parts. But if we talking some good haze which is rarely available you wouldn't be able to get it that cheap if I was doing the selling.

 

It's freedom from incarceration or being charged/fined with a crime.

 

It makes a ton of sense that legal weed costs more. It's called overhead, taxes, compliance with regulations, paying SS taxes, medicare, etc. I could go on and on.

 

You have no idea how regulated it is. I do because I work in the industry. It's strict and most growers/sellers are very compliant with the law because of the consequences of skirting it.

Haboob at the local convenience store with two registers skirts the law more than any grower or dispensary will.

 

Maybe you can impart some of that knowledge since apparently you know better. Looking forward too it.

 

FTR I live in a medical state only that is strictly "seed to sale". No outside growers, no independents....., You can only sell what you produce out here at the dispensaries and plant numbers are limited. as are the licenses. Not adhering to that law will get your license revoked which is easily worth over a mil. It's a risk/reward in my state and no one is dumb enough to use the risk over reward strategy. Especially with rec a year away.

 

In California you would have to have two separate facilities if you want to have some legal and some illegal, otherwise would have to be all one or the other as it is really heavily regulated from seed to harvest.

 

If anyone is still buying that bs they're retarded... "in the industry" and been around for ever but never head of or seen a high times ad to know who greens house seeds are. I've said it once I'll say it again snitch or liar only explanations....

 

That's not true in my state. Like I mentioned before every dispensary has to have their own grow. They are monitored and inspected by the department of health and everything is tracked from seed to sale.
What would be their incentive too skirt the law? So they can sell it cheaper on the black market? LMAO

 

Picture this scenario. A guy sells stuff out of his legal store. He has to pay taxes on the profits and selling out his storefront all adds to overhead that could double or even triple the cost of the product. Because the cost to operate logicaly will be passed on to the consumer in the form of increased product price. Same store owner also sells stuff on the side for a slight discount. The slight discount allows bigger profit vs sharing with uncle Sam.
Also no money is better than the money no one knows you have.
It's not that hard a concept to grasp.
