How much for a pound near you?

At those prices, would you consider just buying at the Dispo instead of growing your own?.... and if not, what price point would you shut down your tent?... just taking a survey here.
$50 ounces of mids or better and I’d never attempt/bother with a serious grow again. So that’s $800 for a pound.

I enjoy growing but it is awfully stressful. If I could go to the corner store an get decent cannabis like you can pick up a carton of smokes that would be it for me.

I've got a grower that wants to lease my building, and Im trying to figure out with the State if I can even have 2 licenses at the same address. If I can do that, then that's prob what Im gonna do. I've been trying to think of other things I can do with a 1400 sq ft building. Maybe a 420 friendly meditation studio with laser lights and sound system? Turn it into an Airbnb? Mancave?, and just chill? Paige has just landed a pretty nice work from home job, so maybe just be a bum and do the dishes and laundry? We don't have kids, grandkids, debt, or anything crazy. I've been pondering on it for a smooth minute. But,... im not gonna do another grow for peanuts.
Use that space for throwing Rave parties. :mrgreen:

The # of commercial growers will collapse when the price collapses. Those remaining will be able to raise prices at that point right?

Don't forget the government wildcard. States can rescind homegrow & raise taxes on high-thc flower/products (for safety!] till it becomes as expensive as booze. The blackmarket will thrive again in that market no?

I think the price will come roaring back eventually for craft. Just go in your local hippie grocery store & look at the $6 single cans of craft beer. Even at food lion, local beer pulls $12 a sixer v.s. $8 for highlife

Governments & Corporations ALWAYS find a way to punish & inflate the "sin" market. Always.

The government-backed commercial growers are losing millions per year to flood the market with tons of subpar herb. The thing is, they can keep losing millions a lot longer than independent farmers thanks to subsidization. They are pricing everyone out until they can hold a 1-2% margin like Walmart.

Most understand this subconsciously so there will always be a market for high grade craft over bulk subsidized reggies.

Yup, thanks for painting it with a bit more detail.

Not to stick my nose in, but you did say, "survey" lol.
I think you pinned the tail on the donkey here, AA. I have come to believe that many growers have multiple motives for growing. And some motives evolve. Personally, and I think many are, watching the black hat money fade away. I view growing as an art. We all have our methods and patterns and the best part, a finished product at the end to admire.
Call it altruistic, I'd love to donate the portion of my grow I'm allowed but do not use, to those that need the medicine. I know Rick Simpson Oil, for example, takes a lot of flower, yet has documented results.
Uncle Sam is trying to figure out how to get his nickel, I'd donate product for medicine, any day, all day. But hell, we're getting into 'It Makes Too Much Sense' zone
Wheres the mechanism to allow legal growers to sell to dispensaries or commercially?
Making it legal has done what the law wanted it to do, fuck up the underground and black markets, leaving so many growers with excesses of weed we ca t even give away..
Well,, we could.. but that's another junk twister.

Yes I give away the lion’s share of mine yearly to the sick. I won’t buy from a shop until I’m to sick myself to take care of the plants. Cannabis is a medicine for me and has been for years. Pounds here from what I’ve heard go for between 1600-2600... $

Whats going to happen to weed cultivation out west when they can no longer get water to water the crops? Weed is an intensely high water use plant. And what will happen when the western states that rely on hydroelectric power from Like Powell can no longer generate electricity? They say by July 2024 Lake Powell will be so low it will be in a dead pool for generating hydroelectric power.

Over 50% of the USA is in a drought, and many are in a severe drought. In the very near future the shit is going to hit the fan out west for weed cultivation. Especially large scale.

My neck of the woods is flooded, and has been for years.. One guy is bringing in 100lbs a month for at least 5 years. People pay $2100lb for it. Hard telling what hes paying for 100lbs. Majority of it is marked OG Kush.
Bad thing is though weed is harder to get gid of because of all the Meth, and Heroin going around, and many are dropping like flies because the Heroin is mixed with Fentanyl. I dont fuck with anything other than weed, and dont mess around with anyone fucking with that stuff either.

There’s a guy like that here where I live
He’s selling shit that got rejected because it tested hot for pesticides. Dumbasses eat that shit up because it’s from out West and they think they’re getting something great

Everything that comes from out West is what they can't sell out there, either because of quality in the black market or testing in the legal market.
