Don't YOU think the prices of weed are insane?

purplekitty7772008 said:

yeah, it would actually.

flipping weed isn't all that easy unless you get
it for a great price.

each flip has the potential to only make so much.

i kinda feel bad for dealers.

now if someone had a perpetual grow house harvesting
2lbs every two weeks, then they could easily sell oz's
for $150 and still make bank.

or sell a pound for $2000.

whatever.

damn though 2 lbs every two weeks that some massive operation (for the average grower) o_o thats a pound a week...If I had that much weed I'd give that shit away

I think maybe you guys missed the point of my thread. we're just talking the established price of weed for the majority of people.

lets set another condition in here . . . . if it were ever LEGALIZED and weed was suddenly under the rules of perfect competition. lets say most weed (85-90%) is grown outside.

with THOSE conditions . . . . what do YOU guys think a fair price of weed would be?

I say easily 100 dollars an oz.

What you mean like farm grown?? Like big ass crops of bud grown by shamrock? If that we're the case then yea I'd say 100$ an ounce cause the company is still making bank.

If it was legalized, then true business models would emerge and the price would fall precipitously. Indoor growing only makes sense for evading detection and not bud production. The market would be flooded with excellent weed and yes, I think $100/oz would be somewhere around a median price, if not lower.

Well yeah, if its outdoor then I would definitely sell it cheap.
You can easily get pounds doing outdoor and its obviously not

as expensive. No electricity bill, ballasts, new replacement bulbs
after every few grows, meters, or anything.

Just sunshine, love, and nutrients, and time.

well, essentially I'm just imagining a post-legalization system.

I imagine indoor growing would stay around for the nit-picky high high quality people such as major connoisseurs or medical people. and 10% of growers could easily compensate for all the people willing to pay for the high quality indoor bud.

but for the majority, the outdoor bud would do more than suffice, as it's quality may only be 10% under that of indoor (and I'm not talking potency, I'm talking /quality/ of the bud.) potency would probably only be 2-5% less if the outdoor was done right.

and I imagine if it was legalized, outdoor would have quality control in which there could only be a certain quality standard, once established this would be met again and again, year after year.

I can see a very awesome system working with legalization, but dealers don't get a free-ride anymore . . . . . .

Thats kinda like a dream world...honestly that'd be fucking sick if weed was fully legalized and sold nationwide but I don't see that happening.

I would rather see weed decriminalized rather than legalized.

Just make it like any other plant that isn't illegal ya know?

Then everyone could grow with out worry, and the prices
would drop drastically.

decriminalization doesn't really allow for lower prices . . . . . it still doesn't regulate the business and make perfect competition.

Dude we must both be baked...I'm not saying it can't grow/sell in mass amounts I'm saying I don't see it becoming legal in all 50 states.

I can. just not very fast. the more liberal states will pick it up first.

conservative states will go crazy over hemp, they'd be retarded to not use hemp after other states pick up on it.

unless states want to hold back their economy, I don't see them not legalizing.

I don't see why it wouldn't?

If a majority of the population grew, there would definitely
be lower prices, unless people were still greedy with it.

If someone around here sells grams for $25, and I start
selling them at $15-$20 because I have

a perpetual garden and could afford to sell it really cheap,

I would definitely

put someone out of business or at least hurt their business.
Why pay more for the crappy quality weed when you can

come buy my top notch indoor grown weed for cheaper?

Or even if I started selling oz's for $150, the dealers selling
oz's for $300 and even $480 would be out of business.

the reason why it wouldn't is this:

the majority of people still believe weed should cost as much as it does.

there is still a lot of greed in this world.

and when you don't have perfect competition, ONE person cannot change the entire economy. in perfect competition, one business could change the prices within a 10 mile radius.

for this to happen in the black market/ decriminalized system, you have to have the majority of dealers within the area believe in their price of weed, outsell the competition.

but either way, the majority of these problems with dealers is greed. as crackerjax has said.

because even if they realize that weed can be grown outside very cheaply, and that it might be fair to pass these savings along to the consumer. their greed makes them think, nah, why do that when I can have over 200% personal profits?

that's what's wrong with the system as it is.

weed will only be decriminilized for patients only

i think eventually marijuana will be subjected to stantards in which regular medical prescriptions are handled, such as medicare and medical insurance. this is a way the federal govt can still regulate the drug and be able to capitilize on the $$$$$$$

Fuck the system dude seriously you need to lower the standard start growing and selling for 100$ per ounce just buy some land in Mexico...no shit...lol thinking about it you could do that(not in mexico though 0_0)
