I haven't verified the accuracy of anything this dispensary employee said, but... I was at a dispensary yesterday and the guy working there told me that currently in the state of Oregon, the amount of legally and licensed grown, harvested, dried, ready to sell cannabis is 20x the amount actually being consumed here.

He said that OLLC who is running the show, did not put any limits on canopies or how many licenses they will allow -- each license to grow rec weed makes them money so they have sold and will sell as many as they can. That dispensary is having a promotional where they sell $1 grams on Fridays. This is not "top shelf" stuff, it's mediocre bud from the seemingly endless ocean of outdoor weed that was harvested at the end of last summer. There is a giant inevitable and painful market correction that has already started, and who knows how long it will take to iron out.

And as a side note, the black market will always exist (at a much smaller scale) since the age to go into a dispensary is 21. Anyone here smoke in high school? I'm guessing the kids are still doing it.

This site has some pricing.

This is there spot price by state but you have to pay and this is from Nov 2017.

These spot prices for Oregon look high. Colorado was the lowest.

Are concentrate prices holding up at all?

the market in Oregon sucks

indoor/outdoor at best u are looking 1000 a lb but the Avg is 800
this year alone i took a bath i left a illegal grow op that was making 250-300 a oz .......right now the only thing keep me afloat is the fact i have a market for Illegal oil (making 650 a oz on it)

with any luck all these trash growers will go under (i am talking the ppl that know they have mites or PM or something wrong with the crop but still try to sell it) ......hell i got shit from the store that had mold in it because they sold it to the state like that

and with Oregon's new rules .......i have to have a camera system that covers everything (anywhere weed could be taken needs to be under a camera's eye.....talking 3000 5000 system ) then they want me to pay to use their INV system

oh i forgot to add testing .......your looking at 1000 a lb at best with testing costing 200-300 per batch depending on the lab u use and what agreement u cut

The figure I heard is there are roughly 1 million pounds of product registered in the tracking system. Current demand is roughly 500,000 pounds a year. So that is quite an excess inventory position given that new product is constantly being grown.

Since it's a controlled market, they can't cross borders with it, and they can't sell it on the BM. It has to go through licensed processors and sellers.

So either demand needs to go way up, or production needs to be cut way back. They are fire sale'ing the exxcess inventories to increase demand and get it off the shelves. But it isn't sustainable. If I buy extra now because the prices are low, it's product I won't be buying later unless I start consuming a lot more, which isn't really likely.

Until there is a national/international market, these micro markets will either be unstable or will need production caps - which nobody will like.
Oregon makes it's money off licenses but also taxes? Colorado does as well. 5% county tax and 15% state tax on wholesale sales to the dispensary. They need to reduce the number of licenses or place a mortitorium on new licenses. Any licenses that expire should not be renewed.
