I don't see where it has effected the price in non-legal states.....
Marijuana prices are plummeting because big businesses are flooding the market
Published: 09:16 EST, 13 February 2017 | Updated: 10:02 EST, 13 February 2017
By the end of this year, the majority of states will have legalized marijuana, leading to one of the fastest growing businesses in the U.S.
But wholesale prices for the drug are plummeting, which is bad for small businesses and the states that were among the first to legalize cannabis in the first place.
In the past year, wholesale prices for marijuana fell 60 percent in 2016, from $2,500 to just $1,000 today, CannaSaver.com CEO Brian Shapiro told Forbes.
The wholesale price of marijuana is plummeting because big businesses are flooding the market. Above, a man and a woman harvest marijuana at a Washington state grow facility in 2014
Experts say that the rapidly declining cost of marijuana is due to big businesses entering the market, which are growing more marijuana than there's a demand for -even with such a fast-growing customer base.
Experts say that there are two ways businesses can compete in this new market: By developing new growing technologies or producing more.
But both of these measures are hard for small businesses to pull off. That's because the federal government still recognizes marijuana as an illegal drug and therefore pot businesses can't deal in traditional banks to get loans or set up checking accounts.
Big business don't have this problem, and it's possible that they are purposefully flooding the market to push out smaller businesses. If they are successful, then they could raise the cost again by pulling back on production.
The falling cost of marijuana is also a problem for the states which paved the way towards legalization.
States like Colorado and Washington state collect tax revenue based on total sales. With lower prices, that means lower sales, and less tax revenue to take.
Other states saw this problem and wrote their legislation regarding pot accordingly.
For example, in California, the amount of tax revenue collected is pegged to the volume of pot sold not the price.
For investors, this rapidly changing market is both a good and a bad thing.
It's bad, because lower profit margins lead to less returns.
But it's also good because investors will have a better idea of where to invest their money if the market is consolidated

Marijuana prices are plummeting because big businesses are flooding the market
- Despite a rapidly growing market, the wholesale price of marijuana has been plummeting
- For example, in Washington State, the price of a gram of marijuana has gone from $25 at the beginning of legalization to about $6 today
- Big businesses have been blamed for the crash by growing more marijuana than the market demands
- This is pushing out smaller marijuana businesses which can't keep up with the production
- It's also hurting the states which aren't taking in as much tax revenue

Really sucks to see large corporations pushing the people who paved their way into a "new" industry out of the pricing game. Real people work too hard to go to market at 2 bils a zip, but what can be done to stop it? Short of all banding together and forming a large corporation or starting some sort of union to hold genetics in the right hands?

Yea them fuckers got all the power, they even made it illegal to get homegrown buds lab tested here, everything's done by the corporations out here now. Sad part is money doesnt help them grow weed, the dispenaries buds are terrible quality for how much money they got invested, minimum start up costs are around 500,000$ , and they still can't grow half decent pot.

@Bbcchance I know this is easier said than done, but why do we as humans always see things as "business opportunities"? Everyone grow their own and fuck buying anything from these cunts, they'll go out of business. I know I am different than everyone on that side of the world, but here I don't buy anything and I dont sell anything, I make that choice. Yeah I cant make a legal business out of it, but thats not my goal either. Corporations and governments can do what the fuck they want, doesnt concern me. If we want things to change, as humans, we need to band together and choose not to follow the same old tired fucked up monetary system, thats the only way imo. Does that make any sense?

I wish it was that easy , problem is once there is a vested interest the game has already changed for the worse
politics are now involved and it's so sad to watch the masses be lied to and tricked, but honestly it's the same situation with our food

It does make sense vn, i wish the world could be that kind of place, but the unfortunate reality is that there are a lot of people who have made their living doing a job very well for a very long time and now they may be forced to find new ways of feeding their families because big business saw just what you described, a business opportunity. Its like rembrandt being pushed out of the art game by sherwin williams, not better paints, just more of them mass produced cheaper

Had a great meeting with @moondance last night!
Brought him some flowers of his strain, Skunk Wrecked Widows, and we sampled the shit out of it. Stringent quality control testing performed, fo sho
I was gifted some tester beans (OG Kush x Casey Jones x Qrazy Quake) and also a Plemon S1 which I'm sure will be tasty.
Hopefully next meeting I'll pass along some BB#3 S1 beans along with flowers for additional testing.
Good to see you again brother, keep up your hard work!
