If,if ,if...Just like bongjuice said,"supply and demand" will come with price variation.

I think you are in need of an economics lesson:

we are not in a market with perfect competition with marijuana, we are in a market with supply, and demand, but no competition.

this means, dealers can bloat prices to whatever they want with whatever bullshit justification they have, without having to worry about what the guy down the street charges.

if there was a regulated system, in which competition actually had to come into play, the prices of weed would be atleast 150% cheaper. all of you dealers trying to over-charge would be left with no business, and you would all fail and end up either growing for yourself or buying from the guys who have the competition down.


the lot of you seem to think that this is fair, when you're not even working within a valid legal market, it's essentially black market, so you have no right to call yourselves reasonable dealers unless you truly deal reasonable prices.

but without competition, you guys have no idea what the 'reasonable' price is. so until competition comes into play, this entire system is fucked with fucked prices, and people mindlessly believing it should be that expensive . . . .

round these parts, you're looking at from anything from - $420- 600 for high end. So if I were to grow anything in between would be acceptable because thats how it is. Im not going to sell myself short, I know that.

dude wtf...smh...how about you come to a non medical state, grow down here, then proceed to sell bud for 100$ an ounce. See what I mean? No one would do that shit wtf dude why don't you complain about coke prices that shit starts in the ground...

okay well maybe that'd work cause people would buy the shit out of you at 100$ an ounce. But you'd get a lot of heat and you'd probably end up shot...

Not including any setup costs, it costs me about $1-$2 a gram to grow my own. I do not have the set up or skills and grow low yielding potent strains and only get 1.5 zips per plant.

However! There is an incredible amount of time that goes into a perpetual garden, from cuttings to curing. Luckily I love my ball and chain (vacation...I don't think so!).

Now I do not sell, but I grow more than I need. I have hooked up the ex-wife and a few friends, and the fact that I have more than I need keeps my needed compensation low, but come on! The folks that are asking for $150 or less, either do not grow...or if they do they grow those strains that are huge yielders, look really nice...but are not good for anything but a big splif and a nap.

Who needs 25%thc...I do. Smoking is bad for you.

Dust, dirt, bird shit, grease from your neighbors fried turkey, rubber, are all likely to be on your unwashed and vaporized "produce from the ground", not to mention the bugs, bunnies, and bandits! And though everyone has the "right" to move anywhere and grow...this is about as assinine statement as I have ever heard...like people actually choose to live where they live...it IS that simple on paper, but life is real.

Oh....wait a minute....I think I get it...first of all I think $200-$250 is a great deal, come on it is <$10 a gram...why would someone actually complain about paying even $280?...unless, maybe, could it be CUZ THEY ARE SELLING IT!!!!! They ran out of what they grew to sell and are now having to pay someone else

If I did not grow my own...I would GLADLY, HAPPILY...I would be freakin STOKED to find someone who would sell me bags of Headband and Trainwreck for $40 1/8th...Again only cuz I got lots...I fronted the ex a half for 50 last week, but that is not what it is worth...to me at least.

I live in San Diego...the local guy wants $55, his scale gets ya for .2, and though it always has some designer name, the weed is lame. The clinics want 50-65 (1/8th) even with all the new ones popping up

wtf dude I'm saying you WOULD get shot by some bad motherfucker or some skinny punk if you had half of Phoenix buyng from you...people would be pissed/broke I didn't say I'd shoot you. Yea and LOGICALLY a plant should be free but like I said...grow and sell your shit for 100$ an ounce

I've heard this argument before, It's usually from kids who like weed but only make $8/hr.
If I knew you personally, you wouldn't be worthy enough to smoke my weed for any price.

damn dude...

its just his opinion. no need to say he's a kid.

My brother was selling my ex oz's for $300. (this was hydro)

And trust me, that is a GREAT price here in SoCal for top notch weed.

I still don't think it should be more than $200-$250.
Just my opinion.
