I am a bit skeptical about the falling mmj prices in some areas.
From what I've seen in Washington State, you can expect $150 an ounce for some alright smokes in the Seattle area, off craigslist. However on the east side of the mountains (Spokane, Pullman), its completely different. You'd be lucky to find a dispensary that'll charge any less than $280 an ounce. The bud is extremely good though, and it seems as though the dispenciaries on the westside have better selection of bud, but the quality isn't always up there. But I have run into some good deals, and some bad bud. The worst bud I have ever smoked was bought on the eastside. The stuff would still make me wanna puke, after being filtered through 37 percs and a carbon filter. But I've also gotten some organically grown LSD for $200 an ounce that was phenomenal.
I'd say, if you are having trouble getting rid of your extra meds, try craigslist, but be firm on your pricing. Post in the ad that you know the price is high, but the extra THC you get from this better bud makes it a better deal than buying some schwagg for $150, they'll get more high off your stuff. I believe that'd probably be true anyway. The only reason why some dealers can push schwaggy weed is cause people are stupid enough to not know the difference, or simply cause the can't really turn down the bud cause it's their only way of getting it. I haven't had the opportunity, but next time I get my meds through the streets, I'll fully inspect the nugs. There's no harm in turning down a bag of schwagg, but there is harm in smoking that shit.
