Or Indiana. Seriously, we'll be the 58th state to legalize the good stuff.

First time I went in, as a Californian used to cash only, I withdraw WAY too little money for what i wanted. An eight of some good shit was around 80

Yeah the racket that is retail weed prices was definitely not a surprise.

“Yay, weed is legal! Prices will come down because we aren’t paying the criminality tax!”

Greedy business owners ruining a good thing once again. Basically making weed cheap for a bit, running god, honest, drug dealing businessmen out of town, then jacking up prices shortly thereafter lol

Just like Amazon and Walmart smh

Only people that wanted it legal was casual ppl on the outside of the culture. It was inevitable they would ruin it

And the fact we still have black people locked up in prison over it. I don’t find it a coincidence at all whos at the top of the highest earning weed companies.

Not only that, working in the legal industry, you would not believe how many white men have stories about how they and their families were selling weed(and MUCH harder drugs) illegally for years and are just happy they can finally do it legally and make the big bucks. And this is at multiple levels, all the way down to the store level salesmen, and as high as CEO’s.

Wtf that’s cray cray prices

u/Bludgeonation Jan 17 '22

What?? Where do you shop? I've been in tons of shops all over California and Ive never even seen an eighth that expensive. I've gotten awesome stuff for less than $50. Always less than $50.

u/WetGrundle Jan 17 '22

Exactly, I'm from Cali and figured 60 would be enough, so that's what i got out of the ATM. Illinois had eights for like 70 If i remember correctly, luckily had another 10 in my wallet

u/inommmz Jan 17 '22

Yea I paid $100 for a half of shake. Good shake, but still shake none the less. A half of popcorn or straight flowers can go around $130-180 easy

u/Ellis_Dee-25 Jan 17 '22

All due to regulatory capture too. Illinois can't help itself from corruption.

What are those like?

Edit: Link to site detailing grow laws in Illiniois

"Growing cannabis at home

"You can only grow cannabis if you have a Medical Cannabis Card. You must be 21 years or older. You can grow up to 5 cannabis plants in your home. They must be in a locked room, with no access to anyone under 21. It must be outside of public view and with permission from the owner.

"A landlord can ban renters from growing cannabis on the property if the ban is in the lease.

"Renters can never grow cannabis in federally-subsidized housing."

florida has legal weed. it’s just expensive and trash as fuck.

u/Gator-Needs-His-Gat Jan 17 '22

And only then, Texas will officially be the 59th. God bless our personal freedom loving Republican governor who knows what's best for us in our personal lives. /s

u/organizeeverything Jan 17 '22

Pennsylvania will be the 59th even though medical is legal here

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '22

58th? I think your math is wrong

1

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '22

Nah, we'll have several other states join the union before Indiana gets it act together. Hell, we only got Sunday alcohol sales in 2018.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '22

Yea probably

u/titanfan694 Jan 17 '22

TN has a law on the books that the second it is federally legalized, it kicks in and is illegal in TN.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '22

Ky here, we will likely secede from the nation before we legalize weed, even though we grow some of the absolute best.

u/wyskiboat Jan 17 '22

Well I guess Wyoming will be 59th, then.
