Today the new print quarterly Modern Farmer published a lengthy piece on the crop of marijuana farmers’ markets popping up in states where marijuana is legal for medical or recreational purposes.

'Up to 90 percent of pot’s cost isn’t flowering time or vendor reputation – it’s the drug’s “risk premium,” RAND Drug Policy Researcher Center staff have found. As risk goes down, more growers enter the market, and prices tumble. Outdoor costs much less to grow than indoor, and ounces of it sell at a maximum of $250 at the Harvest Market, versus indoor ounces which start at $280 and can go as high as $360.
'By far, the best deal of the day is $25 for a six-sample flight of strains, mixed and matched by the gram from the dozens on display. Six grams can run $80 in a club.'
