$100 an ounce is a very common price for brickweed. Granted that is not what the growers get for it, but the actual price commanded in total for it after all the middle men is about right.
actually the quality of their brick has gone up a lot. I've had bought an ounce a couple of times recently while my dank dealer was out of town and 3 out of 4 that I bought were pretty good quality. I looked at a study that said the average thc% of what is seized at the border has doubled in the last decade. I can believe it. Its at least twice as good as what I used to see a decade ago.
The thing you've got to realize is they want to keep the number of people involved low, so there is a handful of people caring for tons of weed. So it isn't going to look immaculate.
But that is true even in California. Those 50 lb medical growers using those trim machines don't have the bag appeal that a 10lb grower that hires trimmers does either.
Personally I'm pretty impressed at the sophistication of the operation. I'm just curious what genetics they are using. The bags I got were all clearly indica hybrids.
Here is a pic of a bud from one of the ounces I bought recently. I'm not saying its medical quality, but its light years ahead of what I used to see a decade ago. And for $80 an ounce its hard to beat. I never even bought a QP or nothing. That is just regular street corner price. $20 a quarter sack.
