You gotta wonder about the creative packaging so good that never gets caught!

again I can only quote the CNN article linked somewhere above: They write 2500 pounds (about 1.2 tonnes? the US pound is a little bit less than half a kilogram?)

2,500 tons? Those two pickup trucks must have awesome suspensions!
For comparison, hereās a 1,900 ton submarine:

The proper technique is to disguise it as a Van, and possibly have several zany run-ins with the police.

Weed Depot? Is that what theyāre calling the dispensaries? You know Iām picturing a green Big Box store! California is just so damn evolved.

Yes, that is the tongue in cheek name for a weed dispensary, here in San Diego anyways.

But arenāt you taxing the daylights out of it up there? Here itās still technically only legal for medical users, but itās trivially easy to get a doctor to say you need it. Itās not significantly taxed here, though there are some impressive fees for legal dispensaries that do have to get passed on to the end user. Most of the dispensaries in SD are just popup places that donāt worry about that though.
I grow my own, so I donāt spend a lot of time in dispensaries, but thereās such a glut of ridiculously high quality cannabis that prices are pretty low. I think I paid $50 for eight grams of some crazy good indoor-grown White Widow the week before Christmas.
I donāt know whoād buy mid- to low-quality Mexican OG weed, but I canāt see it retailing here for more than $100/ounce. And you might have some trouble getting rid of it. Most dispensaries wonāt touch it, both because itās cartel weed, and because the market doesnāt support anything but ultra-high-potency flowers that are pretty and dense and perfect. Itās a good time to be a cannabis consumer here.

Get the app and look up dispensaries / delivery services / ID card locations.

I donāt use the app, but Iām familiar with their web site. I hate the recent changes. I prefer to just read the green pages in The Reader. They have coupons and better deals.

I guess the free market really works. Here in the Green Mountain state itās closer to $350/oz. Yowch.

The SD Reader is a better option, it has 10+ pages of weed deals this week alone.

Iām not buying taxed product because, as you correctly point out, itās taxed heavily relative to the quality and ease of which I can get un-taxed product.
While you do see regular $99 ounces at medical dispensaries the state of Oregon makes it more difficult to get your OMMP card.
$140 is about as good as it gets for retail here unless youāre getting it from someone with their own grow. I get oil for $20 a gram which seems pretty good as well.

Thatās one reason Iām not in favor of full legalization here in CA. It wonāt really change anything, as long as itās still federal DEA Schedule 1. All legalization will do is add a third supply channel (along with medical dispensaries and black market/street sales) that will have yet another set of taxes and regulations.
I think Iām the minority here thoughā¦ its pretty likely to be legalized here after the next election.

When I saw the photo, I thought this was going to about packages being sent to the Oregon terrorists. Maybe it would get them to chill.
