“I haven’t heard of any shortages in the stores.”
Have you been going into the stores that sell cannabis to learn where their product comes from? Any idea on how much it costs to bring cannabis to those stores? I don’t ask to be critical of you, I promise. But I keep running across this, “They told us X would happen” when the “why hasn’t it happened yet” expectations are light years removed from reality.
Till just a few years ago, cannabis was 100% illegal in Colorado (why the focus on Co is another mind boggler to me but that’s an issue for another time) & other states. There was no legal infrastructure to grow or sell cannabis cheaply. There isn’t much of one now. It will be 10 years or more before these infrastructures are completely up & running. As this happens prices will begin to fall gradually.
Right now gov’t WoD laws are an impediment to lower legal cannabis prices. Imagine the difficulty getting the cannabis grown & into the stores in that environment when they can’t use the banking system. Then add the risk of doing a huge cash only business selling retail cannabis when you can’t use the banking system. Stores have to pay big $$$ just for security.
Yes, there is cannabis on store shelves. The cost to put it there for now is not cheap so the retail prices are very high, especially for premium strains based on what I read from people who run the stores.
