How much for a pound near you?

I just smoked some $6 an 1/8th of something called Scooby Snacks that came from a dispensary in Washington. It was pretty good weed. I didn't buy it myself but a friend had some so I smoked a bowl.

I periodically look at the online menus of local dispensaries both here in Oregon and across the river in Washington. A pattern I've seen is that there will be extremely inexpensive offerings from one or two outfits as if they're on clearance and when it's gone they no longer carry that brand. That leads me to believe that the real good deals are from liquidations of stock from outfits that are in the process of shutting down operations and are no longer growing cannabis for the commercial market. I don't see how anyone can stay in business at that price. That's only $768 an ounce and after you take out taxes and what the dispensaries are paying that leaves the grower with almost nothing. I think the tax rate in Washington is around 37% and that's already included in the price at the dispensary. So that pound of weed is now $484 per pound which is split between the grower and the dispensary.

I don't know how much dispensaries mark up the weed they sell but it has to be significant for them to stay in business. At 30% which seems reasonable that means the grower is only getting about $340 a pound. I don't see how that could be profitable which is why I'm pretty certain that it's from growers leaving the market. Eventually more and more smaller outfits will shut down and then we'll likely be left with an assortment of large players with seed to sale operations and at that point they'll likely all collude to raise prices. A scenario like that is still years away but not unlikely.

It costs most growers ~$600-700 to make a lb.

Idk where y'all getting weed for dirt cheap in dispensaries in NY.
All dispensaries around here selling bullshit strains for 350 a O. I go to my boy on the street and getting a O of gas for 160 so business isn't hurting for the plug.

This beautiful, dense Lemon Cane prob won’t fetch $500 a pound around here. Super clean labs, 19% THC, 2% terps, great nose… fucking sad. 47E41820-333D-4F02-9838-32EA26373355.jpeg
