According to this article dispensaries are charging close to $400 an oz plus tax now, anyone seen this firsthand?

For comparison, medical marijuana users, whove been able to buy weed from Colorado dispensaries since 2010, are currently paying around $250 an ounce plus taxes, she said.
The state does not impose any pricing structure for pot purveyors, leaving the market open to supply and demand. One dispensary was selling high-quality marijuana on Wednesday at $70 for one-eighth of an ounce a markup from $25 for the same amount the day before, according to The Associated Press.
