My major issue with the price drops is the fact that theres hardly any profit for the farmers after taxes, permits etc. I dont have to pay half my crops worth for a permit to grow corn and then pay the other half to get it to market. Hell I've payed people to trim lbs the same price as pounds are selling for out west now. I think its fucked that the gov is gonna make all the $ and blow it on bullshit while causing thousands of families to loose their income and ruin their local economies. It wouldn't be so fucked losing my income if I could at least grow like I want to. As is we wont be able to grow but a few plants for personal use if even that. So hows it legal then. Seems more like a gov controlled mafia to me. Legal should mean I can fill my yard or farm if I want without going to jail or paying anyone. Im still in a non legal state (FL) and can get good $ because I have the best organically grown and never sprayed weed anyone around here has ever seen. I know people that can get import from out west for half what I charge but still come to me because quality matters to some people, even broke people.

Yeah my other issue with the price drops is that there hasn't actually been any price drops at the retail level. Collectives are selling shit at higher prices than medical ever went for. Basically what's happened is the farmers get fucked, customers keep paying high prices and everyone holding a dispensary permit/collecting taxes gets to profit from it. It's not a legal/free market, it's a rigged market designed to profit a small number of entities/individuals.

Yep, the legal, licensed places are charging a good amount still, along with (sometimes) in excess of 40% taxes on top of that. The gray market delivery companies are selling indoor ounces for as little as $100, crappy herb, but still cheap.... that's where to prices have fallen on the retail side.

I'm still sitting on an 8 pack of mid Sour D for $400 per for a friend. Was offered $600 per for my Bodhi strains, but I turned it down. I can press it into rosin and make twice that or more.

How do you not see that prices in other states directly effect the prices in Ca. Granted it is less and less every year as legalization grows

Vertically integrated farms are really the only game plan that can be profitable for the better part of this decade. Brand yourself,grow fire, make your third party products, sell at your own retail spot. Integrate your black market stuff, find law loopholes, fuck the capital g . We are just at another step of adapting as farmers.

I’m getting 8. Others are getting 6 in LA and SF, 5 for larger packs. I heard the Hmongs are getting 250-350. Lots of properties set up to grow for sale in Trinity, none of them selling. Stores and resteraunts are closing every week. Big $ rec guys come, look and leave because of onerous county regs. Only a handful of permits have been issued.
