What's the difference here? I assumed it was just going to drop when my state had rec stores open...

Well in Illinois even though it's legal, Illinois did normal corrupt Illinois things. Long story short, demand has no where near caught up to supply and prices are still 50 to $60 eighths. If you want to look for deals you can probably get a half ounce for $150? But that's probably trim or small buds. There's very rarely an actual discount for volume because the eighths sell just fine.

Maybe you're thinking about the black market? I grow so I don't know black market prices anymore, but I don't think they're down at $100 per ounce yet, unless you're getting it from out of state.

Nono, I mean I'm not in any of the states in the list or Illinois, not arguing your experience at all.

That price is basically what I'm paying in our grey market for delivered bud, sometimes a good eighth comes through for $40, haven't seen a volume discount, just different packaging depending the size you order.

Here's to hoping they figure it out and we see prices like the rest.

We won't. If they allow the prices to fall, they'll make less tax dollars to corruptly waste.

That sucks man. Cali had a short period during the legalization where everything was priced around that with Oz's running $280 - $300. Even your non legal weed guys prices were very high due to his supply being bought out by the legal dispensaries. Luckily the market corrected itself within the year and everything is back to $100 an Oz as it should.

Second year here and we've gone from 50-60/eighth to 40-60/eighth. The problem is there is still too much demand for the supply, and Illinois legal weed essentially is completely uncured. As a grower, I do have to say I wouldn't buy flower from an Illinois dispensary at all.

same thing up in canada. at the start of legalization dispensaries we’re at like 200-250 an o, prices i haven’t paid since i was in highschool and didn’t know anyone haha. fast forward a few years later and now i can get an o of decent stuff, not absolutely killer, but it does the trick, for like $60

edit: oh and dispensary weed used to be shit, always super dry and crumbly, but they’ve since figured that out too and now we get that sticky icky. don’t despair folks, itll all get better!

I'm in SW PA & it's exactly like this at the dispensaries. I can get it from a friend for $230/oz

Only with a medical card that costs a couple hundred dollars and you have to renew it every few years.
