A rational, reasonable price for pot?

[cannabineer]

Yeah, I agree

There is no way that the massive producers can put the care, and effort into creating the dankest of the dank for 100$/lb. Production would just be too quick and large for, I'd venture to say, even 1/10th of the flowers to ever be touched or monitored for bugs, pm, etc. Cannabineer makes a good argument for my point with just the trimming aspect of harvest. Much like liquor example you mentioned, weed will come in varying degrees of quality, flavor, smell, potency, color, etc. I even think that weed might follow in the footsteps of microbreweries, where in this instance, the weed produced at smaller scales is a homemade bred strain which individuals seek out for its unique characteristics. Much like how I like to seek me out some good beer.

I'm thinking exactly the same. Initially I see the mkt being taken over by the dead-cheap ADM-style weed Desert Dude is envisioning. But (so long as the trend to monopoly is resisted by the regulators) the well-grown, lovingly-prepared connoisseur weed with its grand cru price tags will always always have a market. Alcohol and tobacco show the same very broad spectrum of price and quality.
What I would want to do is find the finest terroirs NOW and buy the land. In fifty years my heirs could be selling the weedy equivalent of La Tâche or Penfolds Grange. cn

"I wanna try the "Turkish Blend" from RJ Reynolds!" How much you want to bet that senario was/is being played out around the boardroom table.

Are you guys maintaining there is no prohibition premium on pot? After legalization, the price will remain the same?

Not so much remain the same, in as much as the premium pot well be in comparison to Lambergini or BMW to say, Kia or Yugo.

So, $650 per pound instead of $65 per pound? Maybe so. Some women pay $7,000 for a dress. I agree that there is a segment of the market where pot will sell for $1,000 an ounce, but it is a small segment.

Its tough because I'm biased on the situation, but like others I can produce the stuff for under a buck a gram with good results.

If it was legal across the boards, I'd pay 100 bucks an ounce if I was out to get me by if it was cared for and quality. I couldnt' see paying any more than that, but thats just me.

ummmm, no.

that doesn't even exist with the prohibition premium. there's nothing you could do to make it cost anywhere near that much, besides have it shotgunned into your mouth by a local supermodel.

out of your element, man. stick to making threads about the persecution of white conservative males in this country.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll say it again. Midgets shotgunning smoke up your ass...priceless!

A buck....buck an a half!

If they full on legalized weed
They would genetically modify it to 90% thc and sell it for 5 bucks an ounce plus taxes

The thing is, I could see good bubble hash being sold for such a price. Production of that is eminently mechanizable, and the weed can be brought in by combine. In fact, a dry process at about minus twenty should yield lovely hash for dead cheap.
Good bud will always be a premium product. Jmo. cn

 

[UncleBuck]

true about the hash. that could be fully mechanized.

i'll have to factor that into my hypothetical "if cannabis were re-legalized" calculus.

I would *lovelovelove* to have the legal freedom to try alternative ways of processing weed into hash. So many possibilities. Trichomes could be sorted by size, density, speed of motion through fluid. Gradient centrifugation. I could produce "ice caviar" to make even Matt's products look like garage wine ... cn

That's just the start. I would think lower temps (but not as low as dry ice) would be ideal, as would a nonaqueous working fluid. Without a lab, though, I can't do the work. cn

Dry Ice works really really well

Doesnt bubble though

It doesn't. It powders the leaves, yielding impure product. My goal is something "premium" for smoking, not the cheap bulk product that's good enough for the kitchen. Jmo. cn
