'California’s illegal market prices are equivalent to legal prices in Colorado.'
That's absurd!
What basis are you supporting this on? I just went back home to SoCal in the Summer and I bought 2 pre-rolled joints of high end CBD dominant strains for $6/each in Downtown LA before a show. Which is a really good price.
I live in Boulder and a single pre-roll of whatever will cost you about the same if not more as CBD has been put on everything to make it more expensive here. So anything that has a higher number than 0% of CBD will command a higher price.
The truth is, once you're in the Industry paying for weed itself becomes absurd as you get to know too many growers (pros and amateurs alike) who just want you to experience their harvest and are too happy to just give it to you, in addition to growing your own you may exchange for fun.
Your statement is an outright lie, though; yes, CO MJ Industry already went through its saturation period, and prices have adjusted, but the taxes are upwards of 50% for the Dispensary owners and that is reflected in the price.
Personally speaking: I honestly thought more people would have gotten their hands dirty and grown with the advent of legal recreational in both states, but most who do use seldom do. Its odd dilemma, I was never a stoner so growing it was always the most fun of the entire process.
Source: I live and work in Colorado, and I was in Fintech within the Industrial Hemp Industry for the past 4 years. But I grew up in SoCal all of my Life, where weed was always more accessible than alcohol or cigarettes.
- Melting_Harps 7y agoOh, I forgot, last time I was in the hot springs in Idaho Springs I paid $22 for 2 joints and a lighter. I pretended I didn't work in the Industry and asked about the credit card and debit card POS and all the bud-tender could say is that it works for now.
