Street weed in your locale

In my area for many yrs quality was very good, many of us outdoor growers quit about 10 yrs back. One of us got popped and the rest of us shut it down. So I'm dependent on 2 townies these days, unless I wanna drive 3 hours to a Massachusetts dispensary and rip myself off on prices. $320 to 360 a zip PLUS Mass. 20% tax on that.

So I usually buy local schwag......even that, as inconsistent as it is, is 250 to 280 a zip, lol. I'm sure I can command 3 bills a zip, if I need money badly.

How expensive is weed in your area? I think these NY prices are likely among the highest in the USA.

It's a no brainer to grow inside here, some time in April (becomes legal) I'll start. Spent $1300 so far on my setup.......If I was single I'd have grown all along, but with the wife I have I gotta wait it out.

Thing is out here with dispensaries running specials for $60 ounces of weed thats say 8 out of 10 quality there is no reason for people to buy street weed at high prices to get a good personal stash, plus there is variety. Again no need to pay high prices. Prohibition is the only reason a black market thrives in some states. I can remember the days of paying $400 for a zip of high test IF I could find it.

Some people still do if they can't find the high test. Alot of people are into the smartbud cans and you don't really get a break on them unless you buy a gazillion of them. Around here they're about 45 - 50 each and retail for 60 each no volume discount on retail. That means an oz is worth 480 dollars. I do nitrogen canning for boutique market. You can take your high test 60 - 100 dollar oz Colorado bud and stick into a designer can sealed in nitrogen and get 60 per 1/8th for it out on the east coast. If that were legal of course ;)

Massachusetts dispensaries have great flower, but crazy prices. My brother pays'em, but he has a sick retirement pension.

Yeah the licensed competition and all the greenhouse grows they've put up, they got the costs down so low, dispensaries are wholesaling pounds between each other at ridiculous prices like $400 a pound for the lower end stuff. Even high test indoor weed goes from cultivator to dispensary for a wholesale of like $750. It's getting harder for the indoor commercial grows to compete with the low prices and sheer volume these greenhouses are pumping out. A lot of money was spent over the years and it shows, the bottom dropped right out of the industry. Would suck to be a commercial grower that invested millions in a big warehouse grow thinking they'd sell their shit wholesale for $1500 a pound.

320 to 360 + a 20% tax on recreational is just fuckin insane. I'm gonna go dry till I complete a grow. I visit my brother atm, to get a buzz......the local shit doesn't get me high.

Yeah thats like when it started here. In time those prices will drop as supply and demand takes over and growers keep trying to move increasing quantities of weed to a limited market.
