A rational, reasonable price for pot?

[cannabineer]

Indeed i would I was simply nitpicking. I just have a thing about folk using incorrect terms when describing the quality of weed. Don't often hear it simply being called sinsemilla in regard to it's trimming, so just picked up on it. I mentioned "medical grade" as that's the normal one that people seem to use these days, because as you rightly say, anything can be deemed medical, you could take the nastiest skankiest ditch weed and to someone it is still medical grade if it hleps them in such a manner.

Please don't mind me, i'm just in something of a mood today, gf is stuck in hospital with a good possibility of significant surgery and i'm not the most friendly of folk as a result. Ironically i'm bummed because there's nothing i can do with regard to getting her said "medical grade" to help her with her suffering.

I hope she's doing OK. And I hope the damage to her nethers wasn't so bad as to impinge upon family plans. I send good thoughts to both of you.

But I've been in the same boat with my wife (at the time) in hopspital, and me feeling impotent and rather snarky. Extra big guy-hug for you.

And then it gets set on fire. lol

I know, eh? cn

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to walk into a shop and buy a 1/2 zip of equatorial Sativa you didn't have to wait 18+ weeks for?

Id pay a premium above the standard indicas that'd no doubt be the mainstay of the new legalised marijuana market for it, just like people pay extra for their favourite wine.

Like coffee! Whole or ground ... the machine will deliver either, in a nice foil/paper bag that stinks up the whole shopping cart oh so nice ... like coffee. cn

in my opinion, i hate it when people want pot for so cheap like a hundo for a pound. pot should be expensive, and u should grow it to get around it. that way the pot community gets alot of money, to save starving babies, of course. only custys who have no relation to growing and the work want cheap pot, i want growers to get paid, if u dont want to pay, grow it, its that simple then we can make money instead of flood the market

But that economy relies on it being illegal, and you expose yourself to accusations of being a profiteer. Jmo. cn

Realistically speaking, in a legal market the price would drop...but wouldn't people consume alot more "weight" thus somewhat "balancing the force"?

Like instead of people buying an 1/8th to smoke they buy a half zip and just smoke blunts instead of joints for the night.

In a true-legal market, I'd expect the price of decent-to-good bud (not hand-trimmed) to drop to a hundredth of what one is paying now. You'd have to be a Rasta chimney to balance that, mon. cn

<edit> Remember BuddhaSmokes? he showed is a kilo of Cambodian sativa ... bricky but good smoke ... for like $50. That's equal parts illicit markup and third-world markdown imo, and might represent a calibration mark. Bwdik!!

 

[bundee1]

I think it will stay similar to what its priced now due to taxes and consumer psychology of what "quality costs" I think people who know and people who want to know will be willing to pay more for better quality or grow their own. Dont forget about health department licenses for places like NYC (If it ever happens here, more fees for the city).

Ayn Rand told you to charge what the market will bear. If you don't, the money will go elsewhere. I like some of her concepts, but it assumes a perfect world where everyone gives enough of a shit about everyone else to make some degree of government intervention pointless.

i should triple the price on my treadmills then instead of being so damn nice and just feeding myself, my cancer ridden neighbor be damned.

Ayn Rand also never preached against charity, that I recall. If you want your "...cancer ridden neighbor..." to have treadmills for a price below market value, that is your choice.

profit for the people is a good thing. trust that people will do good things with their money, many would. uncle sam has his finger in everything the people should of had this one free and clear. pot = profit = saving babies, ect.

if ur cancer ridden neighbor wants to not pay a high retail price, they can get hooked up from a friend or grow it themselves. the price should stay high then people who decide to help the cancer cause can donate their profits on their own free will to that area. people are so desperate for change on this issue that they will actually fork over the entire livelyhood to the same government that fucked em. very very sad i want people to have access, with no crime we could have made it happen just fine, why give unclesam our last free resource so stupid

If you think you can still be making dealer profits after its legalised, you're seriously, SERIOUSLY deluding yourself.

 

[donmagicjuan]

no shit, and its a horrible thing, decrim and baby saving ect. all day!!

Legalization drops the price almost in half..so grow twice as much and nothing changes.

 

[donmagicjuan]

flooded market people only smoke what they smoke they dont double their intake

 

[Corso312]

true they don't double intake but you double production and double patients ..nothing changes just a bit more work..but the good meds will always find a home..more product is more choices..the bad product will sit while the better product moves.

$3 a gram for the grower (as suggested by WA's initiative) for regular outdoor stuff would still work out not too badly, you'd just have to stop selling lids and switch up to kgs and you'd maintain your money stream I suppose.
