I hope the price goes down, i mean realisticly its a plant and having to spend 500 on a ounce of a plant is ridiucluous, but its all about supply and demand,

To those of you who parroted the phrase "supply and demand" throughout this thread, take note: it means nothing without examples of causal forces acting on "supply" and "demand". More importantly, it is meaningless if you don't need to explain price fluctuations. But whoever yells loudest wins, right?
Thanks for starting this thread jipedestran, and to those of you who constructively participated--I'll do some more work on it in my off-time.

I like your description of some of the forces involved in pricing, but it still doesn't answer the question:
Why has the price stayed in the same nominal range for 20 years? Can you directly address that?
Thanks.
agreed ... it's sickening ... and those prices are for good herb too!!! ... it's heaven on earth out here, and everyone grows some herb, brings the prices super low, almost not worth trying to make a living at it, if it wasn't for the beauty of a growing canopy of Cannabis and the love feed-back the plants give their caregiver, it would not be worth it, heck I'd even get a job ... if they legelize it, I'll quit the comercial thing and just garden for personal and find some job to pay the rent... maby join some union for dental/medical ... heck outdoor here(wich is absolutly delicious) goes for no more than 900 ducks. Not worth all the work, blod'n sweat involved ... after you concord the blackflys and 'skiters, if the deer or rabits or mice or slugs havn't eaten yout plants, if thieves didn't find your "patches" or bears didn't lie down on the girls, if cops didn't catch you or the plants, if this year rippening beat the mold, after you've trimed for days(or weeks) ... you can't get more than 900$ a lbs, is it good? no shit it's good! awsome genetiks, pungent flavors, oozing THC ... so is every one elses and every one grew 100+lbs !!! the market is saturated, brokers sit back and chooses the best 5lbs of your 20 and looks next to you to some other guyses 20lbs, piks 3 to 8 of the best he's got and looks around ... it's a fuckin' shoppin' center experiance and we are all forced to wallmart it down to feed our respective dogs and trucks(every ones truck is from the last millennium )nano said:WOW, I wish i lived where you guys live, here i get around 150can$per oz and 1600can$per lbs. I'm seriously thinking of quiting this shit, with all the risks involved and the fees of running a big setup. I really think it's not worth it.
Vermonster said:price of good diesel..and diesel only no other strains...is $800 and oz, if you sell it by the gram well over $1200 this is specific to my region i think...nor do we have some corporate asshole setting the price of ganja as we do w/ gold....lets hope jim cramers doesn't try and make us go public! ha.
THCV said:look cannabinofil and nano, if you know how to grow and grow hard, then you could always leave canada (or wherever you live) and move to, hmm, say New Jersey and get your "micro" 5K urban on. Grow some ECSD (shit, probably any Rez SD or even NYCD) and, apparently, you'll be pulling $12,800 a LB from the rich bastards in NYC! Your "micro" grow just got you at least 75 grand in one cycle. So quit complaining. You just live in the wrong place. Buy a ticket out--on credit, you'll pay it back in about 4 months. And then some.
Gold just dropped, but at $919 it's still only $119 over ESCD in NYC. Even with the massive rise in gold prices, if you grow diesel for nyc, you are pretty much growing gold. It takes 30 tons of ore to mine 1 ounce of gold. So, herb is a waaay more environmentally kind commodity, even with all the power we burn.
