I’m in a non legal place that’s prolly going legal soon
As an outlaw for a while prices were nice if ya get my drift.
But since so many areas are legal
Their overflow of rejected product
Though good but may have mites etc
Makes its way here.
3 years ago an onion cost 300
Now 150-2 if ya know someone.
Not good from my point of view.
However I can only hope they Fook
It up like elsewhere.
I use Massachusetts as an example as I have a friend…
If memory serves me he told me
By the time ya stand in line
Pay a tax the price was around
540 for a whole onion.
Now to add to the stupidity they allow
12 plants for personal use.
So a guy like me go
Hmmmm
I.can legally grow and not so legally
Sell my product for less than they can.
Boom
Happy days lol
Price stabilized at I’m guessing 280ish on the sly.
Anyway im thinking legalization
May well bring the happy days back.
They killed it in CA , I’ve seen $75 8ths (before tax, which is like 30%!!!), and the place is always crowded. I don’t fully understand but I think they’re just taxing the growers too hard.
I’m sure they’ll get greedy with it like they did here and keep you in business . Still best to “know someone”
I think a lot of it has to do with who is producing. New Jersey has rec market open longer than New York. Nj gram cart 125( not sure of tax inclusion). Ny is 55 per 1 gram cart out the door tax included.
It all depends how corrupt your politicians are. In NJ, they’re not licensing anyone except the MSOs who all paid their bribes on time, and maybe two or three real “social equity” licenses that made enough fuss about it in the papers to politically pressure the licensing board. Also, homegrow is still a felony for a single seedling, so it’s not really legal in NJ.
Legalization crashes prices long term. That’s facts.
Everyone and their uncle wants in on the cash crop aspect, including the state.
The crop we used to grow illegally, becomes as legal as lettuce, increasing overall supply, as well as decreasing perceived scarcity.
At the outset, and for the first 5 years, dispensaries will offer ludicrous deals and discounts (free weed on your first visit, BOGO, buy a gram of concentrate, get an eighth of flower, cartridges, edibles made in a commercial kitchen. This is intended to draw the average customer, and the person who hasn’t smoked because it’s illegal (yes there are many folks that fit this description) away from the black/ gray market, and into the dispo. And it works
A bulk P will slowly drop under $1,000 like it has in CA and CO.
Early on in the legalization is the best time to make money, and then the bulk of the money is in the system.
Almost everybody I worked with for 5 years in the dispensaries of Arizona was in the same hustle: get into a dispo fast after legalization, make your name, and get in on the ground floor of the legal side.
Grower, distribution seller, and extraction jobs will be 6 figure plus…
Honestly. It’s fucked.
I hate prohibition, but state weed is a shit proposition.
Thanks to Ca, Co and a few other states Ny bulk p have been driven down for years. We’re already there!
Ny banned all dispensary promotion! No free anything
We have 28$ ounces the Indian reservation is cranking out where I live.They have dispensaries on top of dispensaries full of shitty Poorly stored Weed that is all unripe that is overstock from who knows when it was harvested.The black market here is where you get your good weed or just grow it yourself and save the headaches
, I’ve seen $75 8ths (before tax, which is like 30%!!!), and the place is always crowded. I don’t fully understand but I think they’re just taxing the growers too hard.
