We’ve been paying around $40 here in Detroit for two oz of high-quality shake, at a dispensary maybe a mile from home. It’s lovely stuff.

The dispensary also grows most of their wares - that’s why they can sell some so cheap. They sell only a few things they didn’t grow: a few prerolls, topicals, noms, etc.

I still can’t believe this happened in my lifetime. I live in Colorado, one of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana back in 2012. I voted for it but it was one of those things I never expected to pass. I grew up with anti-drug PSAs and the DARE program, which treated marijuana as being every bit as dangerous as heroin or cocaine, and though I’d gradually been taught otherwise through books and some friends who were users, I’d never risked arrest to try it myself, and hadn’t seen any signs that society at large had rejected the anti-drug propaganda. That seemed to change literally overnight. Suddenly it was no big deal at all, and now we’re at the point where states that haven’t legalized it are (rightfully) seen as somewhat backwards and uptight, lagging behind the trend. I only wish all our other problems could face such an instant and unexpected reversal of attitudes.

What a tune.

“Huh?
Get a job?
What for?
I’m tryin’ to think…”)

Given how many corporations have had their pet legislators manipulate laws such that small businesses (or personal growing) is very difficult or illegal, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me to learn that’s what’s going to happen here. According to our current labor laws, kids as young as 12 could work on such farms relatively free of restriction. This isn’t anything unusual (for Wisconsin), just applying standard Wisconsin Employment of Minors guidelines.
(These are the laws that our state GOP want loosened, by the way.)

I live in CO and you get what you pay for. No offense, but those links are to the Walmarts of weed and their products are low quality and way overpriced: McDonald’s at 5 Guys prices.
Consolidation of the industry by hedge funds has led to a predictable drop in quality. Even a $200 ounce is overpriced mids. Bag appeal (what it looks like) does not equal quality, potency, or a clean grow. Add the 26% tax and the black market is flourishing. A $200 black market ounce is worth every penny and people are willing to pay as much as $600 from price gougers offering superlative quality. Outrageous.
There is only one brand of flower I would purchase at a store right now.
Rosin and hash, otoh, are where Colorado shines.
