From my understanding, that exactly is what he is trying to say. Because weed is involved in the black market, it has inflated prices. He is saying that the problem is the very fact that it is illegal and if that changed then supply and demand would be a more deciding factor on the price.
Well that's where i have decided that growers are simply greedy cunts. You have dispensaries authorised and "protected" by state law to sell their cannabis. So pray tell why are they charging more than illegal black amrkets are charging. The cali dispensaries are charging almost double what a dealer would charge me. This turn of events just simply doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever, i cannot fathom the prices. Once legal why in hell wouldn't someone just open a dispensary and sell for half of what anyone else is selling at, or is this business not baed around bringing customers in? I just can't understand how with a legal market the prices are increasing over those of the illegal market.
it all makes sense if you could see all the information, likely that is not the case
This is what I was trying to say. Supply and demand are subverted by the policy of prohibition, which fosters greed. I strongly relate to your distaste for greed. I had a dealer that every other month would want an extra $5 per eighth because it was 'extra good shit'. Yet when he had brown frown he never felt the need to drop the prices. I simply disagreed with your reasoning for protesting the OP giving sensible advice.
Dealers certainly have a markup requirement, such as if they don't stick 40% ontop then they don't get dinner, whereas growers have no excuse other than the usual "it's hard work" "it takes a lot of time" "the risk!" all of which are bs justifications for turning a plant that might have cost $10 per ounce to grow, if that, and sell it for $300+ an ounce. But dealers are still greedy cunts on the whole. I know for a fact that one of the dealers i know has been sold weed for the same price since he met the growers many years back, yet every handful of months the deals get smaller, and smaller, and smaller, and smaller. A year ago i could have gotten 2.8g for £20, now it's more like 2g for £20, with no justificaiton for it. Only thing i can think of would be the argument of well life is more expensive now, but then you'd have to ask why the grower has no need to raise his prices
They are both victimless so far as the other guy was concerned and both will pay off bills, which is the point of this thread. The effect that the drug has on the buyer is completely irrelevant for the argument at hand.
people kill over a mobile phone or a wallet, why do you think they don't kill over 10 pounds of weed or even a few ounces? Fuck, maybe it's a meth head killing someone for his weed so he can sell it and buy more meth. A dealer i know had his front door kicked in, hi mum was then tied up, he was then beaten up to such a state he had to goto hospital all over a bit of money due to a tick. But yes, i'm sure it's a fluffy sherbet fountain industry..I didn't think they jailed fish.
i dont think the GROWERS are charging the high prices its who they sell it to..then that person sells it to make some money and the next person will do the same thing so the price keeps going up and upSorry, i'm all bleary eyed and smiley, not a good time for me to be trying to focus on the forms haha.
Policy is not directly related to politics. It is my policy to have a joint in the morning if i've a hangover, governemnt doesn't enter into the policy. The definition of policy given would be the definition for government policy, not jsut policy on it.s own. Not sure what the correct saying would be but kinda along the lines of all blackbirds are black but not all black birds are blackbirds. Indirect relationship or something maybe.
And if he is buying at 5K a pound, then that would be where my line of "growers are also greedy cunts" comes into play
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law as a Schedule I substance.
Isn't a 50% or more markup typical in retail? This seems like a typical formula.
So, 2.5 x $160 = $400, which is a typical price for an OZ. As I said, I've felt your frustration before, but without logic and consistency, your just being a hater.
