The only reason cannabis cost $6-8 per gram was the illegality of it all. There were paid shocktroops(The Police) helping the criminals keep the price high. Grown on it's own it waould be a little more expensive than hay, something that is grown from seed in fields acres in size can be waay under $1. Some states have huge gluts. EVen the hybrid seeds where 10,000 seeds come from one large plant, each one female, each one prefertilized (feminized) https://shop.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/collections/feminized https://shop.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/collections/feminized

So the growers can always beat the legal price because the goverment has encumbered the legal growers with red tape and other restrictions to help the illegal market continue to prosper. Remove the limits = $1 a gram or even less
- gdubs 7y agoI think you’re right about the market constraints, but in terms of a crop it’s more labor intensive — more like strawberries or tomatoes than hay. It’d be great to see a shift towards low input natural farming for cannabis, but at present it’s very input and labor intensive.
