Thank you. I added your figures to my model.

The shop I worked at in Portland a couple years ago was taking in about 3-4 grand a day when I started and about 7-8 a day when I left, 7 days a week. Inventory markup on wholesale was generally in the 200% - 300% range.

That's drug dealers. You're confusing unregulated black market sales with the retentive "everything is tracked" dispensaries. Cute though.

The reality is changing and profits are shrinking. The price of cannabis is dropping, and will bottom out when million acre farms come online. Dispensaries will have to change to stay profitable.

This is what my numbers are telling me.

Bars are not required by the state to run a seed to sale or track and trace system.

Some time after the post prohibition novelty wears off, there has to be a point where there is less stress about small local growers entering the market.

I'm sure the crooked dispensaries don't last long.... and if you would want to be successful staying on the fed/state's good side is of the utmost importance...Even with tracking systems in place.. I'm sure money still falls through the cracks.... Keep it real

I deal with many dispensaries. I can say for sure, 100%, no doubt, there is product going out the back door. Brokers like to deal with dispensary owners now, the game has changed.

With that said, no better way to lose your licence than doing something dumb like skipping on taxes. If I get my dispensary, I hope I would never do anything that stupid.

Who dictates the pricing of cannabis in the dispensary? could an eighth sold for 50 bucks be reported as being sold for 40?

I'm not saying anything about backdoor sales.......
