That surprises me. I would have thought prices would be much lower with all the big growers in CA and people being allowed to grow personal consumption plants. More supply, lower prices.
It’s all demand driven. The only thing that can lower it for now is personal growers growing their own. I’m allowed to have 4 mature plants. I had 2 last year. My kids got almost all of it but I still have some stashed away. My son had a hemp farm so he knows all the techniques for growing.
I have 10 plants in the dirt hoping for at least 4 females. If I have 5, I am sending one male and one female up the creek so we can have seeds. The seeds are majorly expensive. The county has been growing it for decades. The Virginia counties bordering WV are awash with marijuana.
The homegrown stuff I have is about 1/2 the THC of the stuff you buy, maybe less than that.
