Cashing in??

What a bunch of suckers. Do you really think some little average citizen can compete with the huge greenhouse operations already established? Maybe if the regs were like in the US states, where they only issue as many licenses as are required for the specific zone. Trudeau's idiotic plan is to let anyone sell anywhere in the nation, so that "mom and pop" are competing head on with companies like Canopy with billions in funding. How the hell do you think THAT would end up? How the bloody hell is somebody WITHOUT a billion dollars and a greenhouse already set up going to compete with someone who does in a wide open national market and with licenses being issued to anybody who pays the fee and meets the qualifications of security etc? Like the posters here, people will ALL think it's the gravy train and ALL get into it and ALL except Canopy and their ilk will find out the reality of Canadian legalization. What happens when there's 10 weed producers in one city, which is actually a low estimate of what there will be? I'll tell you what happens, they all say "curse you, Trudeau, you destroyed our fucking lives and now we're fucking bankrupt after taking out millions in loans to pay for all the stuff required to get the license, which now we can never make back in ten lifetimes".

They same way $2 bottles of wine sell along side $120 bottles. People willl pay for the quality they want to consume.

Maybe. I personally don't think it would go well for small companies competing with Canopy. For instance, they claim to have a special super potent strain, specially bred. They can afford to do stuff like that, can you? Say there's two brands of weed in a weed pushing store, one is 30% THC and the other is 18%, both the same price, since it's set by the govt. Which do you think would sell more? Though actually I think Trudeau said he wants to control the THC levels, keeping it nice and weak so as not to be too addictive or damaging to society, just enough to make him and his buddies lots of money.

I dont agree. There are micro brewerys popping up all over. There are 3 winerys 2 vinyards and 3 distileries in 60 miles that do just fine. There is also a anhiser bush brewery and a black dog brewery within 40 miles. If your growing mid grade then no you will never find a nich. You grow that organic dank and you work hard then there will be a place for you. I can buy tomatoes from kroger for 1.30 a lb but when i dont have them from my garden i gladly pay 3 a lb from a local organic farmer

80% of Canadians buy beer and liquor. Pretty sure pot usage is not quite that high. Interesting how alcoholic Canadians are though. Not really surprising, all things considered. Gotta try to anesthetize themselves to forget they live in the Shitlands.

Shit. Okay, 100% of your countrymen are drunkards then, just guessing based on who they voted as President.

Bwahaha true all i am saying is there is allways a market for craftsmen if every part of the economy. Just like i mentioned with tomatoes. There are a ton of factory made cabinatry companies. But some prefer to go to the master carpenter for hand made quality. I can go to walmart and get a computer ro i know a guy who can build one for me. I can use a program to make busness cards or i can have a company send me one from a template or i can have a graphic designer design one for me. There is always a market for tallent

Well actually you may be right. People with any real standards of quality won't be touching commercially produced weed, because they don't know what the hell is in it. Smart people will only buy from long trusted growers that they know don't use Eagle 20 to prevent powdery mildew and that actually wash their weed to get the mold off that can't even be seen. That's like 5 growers on earth, one being me.

I kinda like it here, a tad cold and snowy but all in all I'm happy.

$100 an oz for mid grade all over Denver, and getting cheaper all the time. $50 is not out of the question, especially if big business gets involved.

What is top shelf selling for at the dispensary? Mids in a legal state would be like a hotdog wrapped in cellophane at the 7-11 lol.

No alcohol was not responsible for that. I'm thinking meth had more of a role lol.

 

[OldMedUser]

I figure about 6 months after rec goes legal there will be a lot of used grow equipment in various buy and sell venues when nOObs rush out to buy gear to grow their 4 plants and find out it ain't so easy to end up with a top quality product. Like rookie home brewers they will opt for store bought rather than go thru the hassle of spending a few years mastering a craft.

Hell if I could buy decent weed like cigarettes I wouldn't bother with growing.

I love growing. I only smoke a cone or two every week or two, maybe a nice joint instead.

I would grow but then more for playing with the appearance of the flowers. I wouldn't have to try and keep up with my weed appetite.

Thats why I started growing my own, can't afford the "top shelf" . Top shelf at lots of places simply means they get low yeild from the plant, not better product. Which is weird. Top shelf is like $300 and more, maybe worth it and maybe not, not willing to pay to find out.

Well that's kind of the point. The mids would be more if they were better (top shelf) but their not. The customer decides what is top shelf.

Sweet looking boat by the way.

Very difficult to say the market in Colorado is balanced or reasonable or that consumer choice affects pricing. As long as neighboring states are still under prohibition, the prices will reflect tourist demand and not a balanced market. As long as farmer ted from Kansas can buy an ounce for $100 in Denver and sell it for $400 in his home town, prices will be weird. Not necesarily high or low, but I don't think they will follow simple supply and demand theory.
