Price of Bud if Legal

If weed became legal do you believe that the price would drop? I think that it would drop but not to the point of paying $5/g. Something that used to cost 20/g would cost 13-15/g. The market shows that people are willing to pay the price, why make it super cheap. Would you rather bud be sold in American style coffee shops, or be treated more like tobacco, and you can buy it from places such as CVS? What are you ideas?

I feel like the only way they could sell it would be like an American style coffee shops think the prices could be a lil high cause they would tax the shit out of it. Still think i would just grow my own, but at least I could get my seeds a lot easier.

the price has to come down once we have mass-producers.. still - there will be demand for hand groomed - home grown delicacies ...

i can't say for sure about weed becoming dirt cheap - since we have cig companies making a pack for $0.001 and selling for $6.00.. it's fate is unknown to me...

well knowing the tabacco people i bet they got a full proof plan if weed is legal but if weed gets legal i would wanna make a biz at mass produceing weed and weed might loose a bit of its priseness but not to much but the goverment might make it more cuss of taxes u never know

weed is legal here in cali.

i've seen weed in pictures of dispensaries for 45 dollars a gram for Dr. some bullshit, fuck that, that is the future, how much you think it costs to make a bottle of jack?

Yeah I've seen that too. I think if it was legal the price would go up. Most likely it still will be cheaper to pick it up on the streets. Some of the prices I've seen are just crazy for no good reason. No weed no matter how good it is should demand a price of 45 bucks a gram. Thats like 1200 bucks an ounce...that's fucking pricey. Smoking a two gram blunt would be like burning away 100 bucks....

I think it will drop down the prices...... back in the 80s I was paying $600 a Q for the Skunk Bud... $550 for actual Tye stick.

I think the prices should be set at $10 a G straight up for the Top Shelf Buds...Thats $280 a oz I will be selling for $5 G



Grow your own and you wont have to worry about what they charge you.....you'll be charging them!!

nooooo way bro. sorry to shatter your dreams.... but if weed is legal then it will get verry pricey, it will also be taxed hella and susceptible to markey fluxuations! if you wanted any weed close to the quality your probably smoking now, it would cost you your wallet! might as well keep the shit illegal, keep the price the same (10/g, if you are paying more than that then your a fool, ive never payed more than 10/g and i get some very dank shit!)

my opinion! peace

at the present time if the bill passes.....Legal weed in /calfornia will be $250 a oz then the $50 a oz state impossed tax...... $300 a oz for the Chronic.

Currently I provide the Chronic for $225 a oz from private stock to friends that are MMJ patients

The dispensaries will only charge what people are willing to pay...... I know a few people who will be setting up shop and will be purposely under cutting the outrageous current prices of the Co-Ops/ despensaries.

We need shops that are not in it jsut for the $$$ but for actually helping people..$200-250 for Top Shelf should be the max for MMJ patients... $300 or more for the social user

There will be MMJ patient specials in our store..you show a card you get 25% off.....A $1000 Q.... will cost ya $750

I have all the Cali Co-Op strains and more!!

in amsterdam the price hasn't dropped , same as in Cali.

there's weed in AMSTERDAM that's 25-30 a gram, and it's quasi-legal....sooo.

i hope to live to see the day when packs of joints of reg bud is sold at gas stations and convenience stores for around 20-25 for a pack and the good stuff will be handled by dispensaries across the country. just a pipe dream if i may use a pun, but i think its the future

There is weed that expensive in Amsterdam but by no means do you need to spend that to get killer buds. The average for what I wanted to smoke was about $12US a gram. Anything not considered top shelf could be had for $6-7 a gram.

I doubt a whole lot would change.

I think that if weed were "legalized" in the sense that most meople mean when they say "legalized" that the price would not drop significantly. In fact, I think that government participation would increase the price of bud significantly through all kinds of new taxes.

Because I do not want government involvement, I am personally opposed to legalization. I would rather see decriminalization, where the government takes a "hands off" approach to the whole issue.

I think when they legalize it, it will become cheap as hell. I think a g will be $1-2 bucks. Think about it, if the govt tries to tax the fuck out of it, they still have to compete with the dealers. People are going to buy from the cheaper guy obviously.

Me, on the other hand, im just gonna grow my own and share with family and friends.

Amsterdam prices seem fair. Free weed for medical users though, or at least concessions made for them to either have it cheaper, or grown for them.
The last thing I want to see is the government gaining a shitload in tax, or for evil pharmaceutical companies to have a monopoly. It's bad enough
they hold back the cure to diabetes without making people with cripping nervous/mental disorders suffer more.

I doubt the government would use the hands off approach, they would tax it to hell. And I would grow it to hell without fear of getting sent to jail. I see it as a win win.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The prices almost have to drop at least a bit otherwise the street dealers all stay in business. A middleman here or there might be cut out but it wouldn't be hard to underbid if the legal prices mimicked the illegal ones.

I definitely see the discounts for patients being a very real and very common occurrence in a situation where it was to become 100% legal.

The average person will stop buying from a street dealer. It is just more convenient to go to a shop and buy your herb. At least a coffee shop will have to keep some type of rep for having the best bud.
