TrueFactsStated Well I also think if weed prices went down, dispensaries would be more successful. Why spend $75-80 on a oil cartridge at a dispensary when you can get it for $40-50 from your dealer?

If you had consulted with me on this I would have told you to expect this. Any country who does this will result in the same outcome. It will also create a bigger market of users.

TrueFactsStated Insider's insight as an ongoing target of felony crime in SmallTown USA (because I tell them NO): It's not hard to imagine consumer *fear* for their very Life that is likely being threatened by their pre-existing illegal drugTrafficking supplier(s).

The issue is the price. It’s ludicrous. From a dealer, weed is 5-8 bucks a gram depending on quality and quantity. Legal stores I’ve been in, I’ve seen 3.5g for as much as $52. No one is going to pay that when they can go around the corner and buy at less than 1/2 price.

TrueFactsStated they never met the price point. the black market is still 50% of the cost.

Direct quote from article: 'Legal producers were unable to meet the sudden surge in demand, and struggled for weeks to fill orders, leaving marijuana stores with empty shelves.' It's not a demand problem it's a supply problem. C- journalism

Give ‘em a minute

2 reasons, in Canada, apparently one is shortage, 2 is lack of distribution centers. No one wants to order online because it may impact your travel.
