From what I understand Colorado recreational marijuana has to follow a 70/30 rule. Which means 70% of what they sell they have to produce themselves. They can only source 30% of what they sell. Also, because of all the indoor growing operations going Colorado's power system is being hit pretty hard. All of a sudden they have big buildings with 100+ 1,000 watt bulbs and everything else going...
I think the medical marijuana dispensaries are doing ok in terms of supply? I'm not sure though, I'd need to check. I have heard the prices at medical dispensaries is far lower as they don't have the same taxes.
Groups like canncast.com are working to create a supply and distribution network but the 70/30 rule I think is where the bottle neck is coming from. How many lbs can one dispensary realistically grow right now?
