#WeedPricesMatter
And taxes now only total 37% at point of sale. Such a deal!
cool......I’m short the june contract
Street prices don't include a 37% tax.
And I doubt the “street vendors” charge and remit the 37% tax to the gov’t mob bosses!
“Equal to street prices lol”
So that would be $260 an ounce. on the Street I don’t buy pot one way or another but that just seems real high?
$700 per oz weed? Don’t think so. Hawaiian premium grown possibly but that has very limited distribution. Perhaps in some Amsterdam shops, but these types of weed lose so much potency after 1 month of harvest that it’s seldom worth buying.
$200-$300 low to medium
$300-$400 medium to high
A long time FReeper who rarely FReeps anymore works for the board.
I used to deal it at $25 - $35 an oh zee.
Proof reader was testing the weed.
Last time I bought it we got them in “lids”. Ten bucks.
Sheesh. I just realized that was 40 years ago.
Ping for your Interest.
The stoner press disagrees: "the prices are still more than twice as high as they are on the black market." - http://www.theweedblog.com/recreational-marijuana-prices-plunge-in-washington-state/
“Back in the day” an ounce (lid) was around $10 in say 1971.
A gram at $10 would yield $280 per ounce, today.
I expect the statute of limitations is up, so I confess to growing some of my own during 1971-197x until it held no appeal.
I did so mostly to avoid associating in anyway with others who were dealing in the stuff, or legal exposure.
But it was also economic. It was surprisingly easy to grow in sufficient quantity for my limited appetite.
Should I ever be advised to use it for medicinal reasons, I might again attempt growing it.
As of today I have no interest in mind altering substances, and will reach 22 years sober from alcohol next month. Other substances were long since out of my lifestyle long, long before quitting the drink drug.
$4,480 per lb.
They shouldnt complain....
I see a Trump/Cruz Administration enforcement of Federal drug laws.
I guess their profits have gone up in smoke...
$25 - $39 a gram? I remember the daze when the good stuff (they tell me it was crap compared to the stuff today - I have no idea) was $35 - $40 an ounce (34 grams for those who “never inhaled”).
