well the Devil's Lettuce is infinately more harmful than tobacco...just ask Harper.
it's all fear mongering. look at what he said that if you tax too much, you'll have a black market...??? unless it's less than the BM, you'll have the BM.
new comments as to why it's so hard and more reasons to put it off. at least decriminalize now and work on legal...but get on with MEDICAL dammit

it comes down to the amount of meds off the plant that can be achieved. That why they make hash in Morocco :)

2 or 3$/g is pretty reasonable. You can pretty much only buy shake for that from an LP. And no black market dealers sell for that cheap.

That is no way shape or form reasonable. It costs less than a penny a gram to grow this shit outside.

Well it depends on what new "harsh" laws they are going to introduce to punish those who sell outside of the regulatory system. Most growers were doing ok with $1200 per LB hell they were still making money at $900 per LB although that was with much smaller amount of risk. SO the gove has to introduce hight enough risk to try to keep the price of illegal weed high in order to make the legal weed seem cheaper.

A lot of guys dropped out of the market at that price level actually. You can make money but it's a lot harder for smaller operations, especially when you weigh the risk and income levels when compared to a regular job.

Most Bm guys are charging 5, all the way up to 15$/g in some cases. I think 2-3$ is a happy medium.

The only reason prices are that high is because it's tightly controlled. 3 bucks a gram is obscene.

Can you imagine paying 3 bucks a gram for lettuce (which actually takes more resources to grow than Cannabis does by weight/volume produced relative inputs) ?

I can't.

Nor will I ever.

Well its was $1.98 at the height of MMAR as no one was getting busted and had a license. The LP's are not gonna stand for $1 per gram profits in the rec market and the gov is going to was at least a $1-3 per gram tax, there will probably be Fed and Provincial taxes too.

Logically, down to the penny and money wise, you are correct. But if we can pay 5-8$/g... That's not awful in comparison to places like Colorado.. Certain places are charging around 20/g!

I saw 60$/1/8 on one menu.
