A rational, reasonable price for pot?

Happens in most industries...My brother in law installed granite and marble for 20 years in high end homes and condos throughout Chicago charging 125$ a sq ft...the price now is 25-30$ a sq ft installed...a 500% reduction from the 80's and 90's...he got out of the biz because he could not work for that kind of money...I enjoy growing so not a big deal to me...nobody is forcing anyone to grow at gunpoint.

$5/g X 30g/oz X 16 oz/lb = $2,400 per pound... For the grower. Doesn't include markup for the retailer. Sorry, Corso, but that is absurd for a weed. If the grower makes $1 per gram I will be astounded. My guess is good quality outdoor grown cannabis will gross the grower about $20 per pound, max. Indoor grown cannabis will all but disappear.

28.3=oz
48 ears of corn= 1 bushel = $7
1 ear of corn @ safeway = .79 = $37
Not a bad profit, but lets sweeten it, Safeway owns the farm and receives subsidies.
The price will come down, but you will get what you pay for.
Personally I hope to one day to see it as free and wild as Blackberries.

28.3g in an Oz, not 30. So more like $2,264 a lb. If people have no problem coughing up $6 for a beer at the local microbrewery here, I doubt $5 a gram will be a hard price to maintain in a "micro-growery" for lack of a better term. Until they make trimming machines that produce good product, at least. Much like alcohol, there will always be a large connoisseur market. Think of the end product from these massive outdoor grows as your PBR, then think of your $5+ a gram stuff as your local brewery that actually makes good beer. They will both get you drunk, yet people routinely pay 3x-5x more for the good stuff instead of a tall boy of 4 lokos. The overall price will drop, but the market will still have a place where those higher prices will be acceptable in my opinion.

Blackberries? I thought it was all iPhones now. That's why the Blackberries are free and wild ... cn

If U read between the lines U will see Canada and Mex.are begining the move to protect their market shares,knowing that prices will fall.Tthis leads to the conclusion that MJ. will be commoditized with retail price based on growing,proccesing, retail, and tax costs. More like a bottle of beer than a bottle of fine wine.Although kind will be avail. just not at blow out prices.

If you look into it, most legalization efforts do not cover concentrates. I would agree that the hash bar making a comeback is likely. Once weed is legal, it should make hash legalization easier though. GM weed is a going to take a while, so I wouldn't worry about that for some time to come. Though with the kind of money big corps can bring to bear, it may likely be faster than I think.

If weed is legal then so is hash

Wish it were so, but it does seem that neither WA nor CO made a provision for it. cn

Washington specifies buds, tinctures, and edibles. There is no mention whatsoever of hash. Hash is technically a potential felony in CA, 1oz or less of bud is an infraction, more than an oz of bud is still no worse than shoplifting as far as penalties go. With a rec, both are legal, but you can see the disconnect there. For some reason, concentrates have a stigma attached to them. I think it's because butane and alcohol extraction pose a danger if improperly purged.

There are 48 states,some flat broke,who are 1 year away from seeing the tax dollars that legal, and/or, coming on line med.MJ.programs can produce.

Prohibition ended becuase they portrayed re legalization of alchohol as a jobs issue
