Actually I've seen it have the opposite effect. Street dealers I know have had to lower their prices to compete with dispensaries. Where 1g used to be $20 its now $10, and where u used to pay like $50-60 for an 1/8 its now more like $30-35 or $45+ with some of the top shelf stuff.

No dispensaries in the UK but $10/g for brick skunk or thai,$20 for 'top shelf' like nice kushes, ounces between $130 ( the cheapest I hav ever come across but it's full of seeds and stems) and $500. Most often I've seen $380

40 for an eighth of w/e you want. some 45 but that depends on who you go to. and not as advertised i might add. some of them take 3 hours.test them them 2 at a time. who ever gets there first gets more business.

$523 for my whole set up for 6 plants including the 100watt hps/mh light, grow tent, and soil and seeds... I use clones so it's even cheaper...I average 10oz dry after all 6 plants are ready to smoke of shit you'd normally pay $450 an ounce for around here... Grow your own and save that green in your pocket with all the green you want in your bowl...

I said used to pay $20, and I also said top shelf stuff is at least $45+. I can get 5g 4 $50 of some nice kush at a dispensary in L.A.

yeah, they're a rip off. they charge $20 a gram LOL. fuck several of my friends give me a gram or so on occasion just to try their new shit. i even give out nugs for free of my new crops. anyways, when i buy it, about the same quality as a dispensary is $5 a gram. medical sure brought prices down if you know the people. i havent payed for weed in years though now. so many growers im really good friends with so we just kinda give bags here and there for free to each other. not just anyone, people that are high contributors in the medical community.

you are free to smoke mexican weed for $20 a gram if you want.
you are free to pay what the dispensaries charge.
you are free to grow your own and shut your cockholster about people charging what it takes to pay for overhead.
electricity isn't getting any cheaper and neither is good soil.
why don't you find a grower and cut out the middle man?
you are complaing way to loudly about a situation you have the power to
get out of very easily.
go grow your own weed, champ.
or pay what it costs, scout.
or quit smoking altogether, sport.

So shouldn’t all fruits and vegetables cost $20 a gram then boss?

i think the gripe is generally with the AMOUNT of mark-up. idc if one makes a profit. i hope they DO. Less of a draw on the state imo. BUT, nobody NEEDS a mid to high 6 figure salary to "live". A 50% or 100% markup is cool. But a 400+% markup is just downright greedy and not called for.

If a grower can grow good enough weed to get $15 a g when there is $5 g's out there everywhere too then awesome! But he should have to compete in a free market. That's yet ANOTHER reason to vote for Ron Paul in 2012 AND the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine ballot initiative in Cali. There are $1000 bottles of wine and there are $2 bottles of wine. If one wants the $15 g, cool. And he'll find some he likes too. But there are MANY out there that would die for affordable medicine. Yes, medicine. And meds should NOT be for obscene profit imho.

I want to start by saying that dispensary's are a huge if not the biggest rip off we have ever seen and here is why.
nothing has change in fact things have gone worse now that we have the biggest MIDDLE man ever. see before lets just say the marijuana got shipped from all over the place mexico, Hawaii, Colombia. you get it. also the quality of the product was not the best since it came in bricks and god knows what that brick went through just to make it to the united states and of course be sold for profits.
so the prices in the street lets just say it goes for $20.00 dollars a gram but that cover all the cost and of course some profits.
Now when the dispensary don"t have to continue to charge 20.00 dollars a gram like how the street dealers do why? because
states that allowed medical marijuana also allow patients and care givers to grow POTENT QUALITY good genetics marijuana in there own closets so that takes the risk of getting some swag weed that had to cross the border.
as there is no more middle just the grower and the dispensary now when you go buy your gram for 20 dollars was it really worth it now? i mean i see the argument about how hard it was to get marijuana in the united states and thats the reason of those high prices. but now what is the excuse? you guys still charge the same amount of money for a product that doesnt face the same issues of the past and its cost.
I know all of the people that own dispensary weed never wana see marijuana completely legal and i see why it will slash all of there profits
people open your eyes there is just things that are too out of control
whats the difference between a greedy CEO and a greedy dispensary owner?
i dont see none. being LEGAL or illegal
we are just paying too much for a weed that is exactly what it is a WEED
im sure if everybody will get tired of over paying and i hope we can build a better system than our current.

in conclusion i feel that the only way to stop this LEGAL DEALERS. thats is to open our eyes and grow our own supply and stop relaying on government structures to tell us what and how and where to do our medicine

i hope i get some thoughts on this
as this is my point of view you dont have to agree with me just put some thought and research into it

Please go tell all the veterans with ptsd that if $20 a gram is too expensive, and they can’t grow cannabis at the vet center that they should just quit.
