i dont think u can fairly compare med state pricing. compare colo and cali, prices in colo are sometimes 50% that of what you would find in certain parts of cali but you would be hard pressed to find consistent cali quality in colo. further more you could look at states in PNW where the price of an ounce of dank can be found for under 200 consistently. price points are based on supply and demand which are both in turn effected by laws regulations, enforcement, genetic availability, growers numbers and experience, patient numbers and quality standards, etc. etc. there are too many systemic andnsituational differences to fairly compare prices between states. all this aside there are local growers trying to make 40$ 1/8 of decent meds available to patients and from both the grower and patkent perspective this seems like an equitable price.
