Hello folks, just wanted to say hello. I'm a Colorado dispensary grower who is contemplating a move to the PNW.

I was looking for general thoughts on the industry there and Oregon in general.

What are the best smaller cities outside of Portland to live in?

Popular strains at the moment in Oregon?

Great things about Oregon?

Shitty things about Oregon?



Sent from Northern Colorado.

We were going to buy land and move out to Kleymouth Falls area, but life beat us down and we had to cancel our plans. I hope you make it; It is beautiful out there! :)

If your trying to be close to portland, look at sandy or estacada, or somewhere up the gorge. If you want another month or so of grow season and to finish those longer strains head south of roseburg. Popular strains for outdoor here, pineapple express, bubblegum, cinex, oregon diesel (but it's hard to find). It's a safe bet to try and be done by end of september for most areas, although the last 2 years we got shit on the last week of september then had a sunny october.

I'm really hoping for 2015 outdoor grow season to be drier , we used to get 8 weeks flower time i think? mid to late october in the Valley for harvest, depending on strain

Forget white widow outdoors (gets bugs) and too much silver haze here... blue dream is popular... cheese of different types are good also. Look closer to Eugene, I saw where New vansterdam was looking to open in P town.

Rent has gone way up thanks to all the people moving here. In 2011 two bedroom apartments were $750 all day, today you are lucky to find one for $1100, and thats a crappy apt in the outskirts, expect $2000 for anything decent in a place like Beaverton. All the jobs are in that area too, but most don't pay enough to live very well with the inflated prices of everything.

Tons of homeless people, drug addicts, and vagrants. Portland is building homeless camps.

Traffic is 100% worse than it was just 10 years ago. A 30 minute trip in 2006 is now well over an hour, that's without any delays.

The bud market is getting flooded. Bud was $10/gram here forever before legalization. Right now it's as low as $4/gram. There is no money in it, we will eventually be where Colorado is right now: $40/ounce. I'll grow until it gets down to that price, then I'll probably be out.

Good is the weather (if you don't mind four real seasons and 9 months of moderate rain), beaches, rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, etc., people are generally polite, good beer(not cheap), good food(not cheap), and some good towns(generally the more expensive ones).

4/gram if you want to smoke some garbage weed. Places have always offered 5$ gram options of shit outdoor from the prior year, nothing new there.

Indoor and good deps are still expensive and pulling in the money. Go to a shop that actually carries top shelf flower and it's 10-18/gram +tax.
Colorado has no limit on production therefore allowing the market to bottom out at a pricing war among the richest producers. Not our case in Oregon, it should take a while before legal weed is cheap.
Probably won't get too cheap since many are looking to produce indoor product. Outdoor will flood the market like always.

Shop prices are still high + tax but that's not the competition, and even that is changing . It's $25 for an 8th of fire on the black market, and getting cheaper every day. Pounds consistently go for $900. If you have built yourself a bubble of customers that will still pay $8-$10/gram, consider yourself lucky.

# for 900? You must be in the wrong circle or something. Guys I know are all still getting 18 per in PDX.

I'll agree that many warehouse growers have lowered their prices, but the guys pulling out the true dank are still setting their market price.

Pdx also has a much more avid cannabis market than the rest of the state though. It really isn't a fair portrayal of the Oregon cannabis scene in comparison to the rest of the state.
