I think it depends on where you live. Some counties have banned medical and have already started to ban recreational sales. These counties won't see much. But others will explode.
The ancillary industries are going to explode also, I think.
so I don't think it's over to answer you zubey
the people will always control prices not the seller... but im sure they will be trying to get legislation up that will make it very difficult to grow like you cant distill liquor or grow tobacco without paying the gov money....
My concern is that Big Pharma (or alcohol/tobacco concerns) will suck up to our elected officials and basically exclude us from growing anything for any reason, so they may hold the monopoly and control prices.
well if that happens i don't think they'll mess with the medical side of it .. which means i'll keep dishing out my 60.00 for the doc and 30.00 for the state lol

The "MMJ" Green Rush may be over. But the REC Green Rush is in full effect. Companies have the potential to make SOOO much money now that 100% of Colorado is their customers, instead of like the 5% they had before.
You might not see it. But I was just in Florida, and I know people from Texas and Cali. There are people MOVING to Washington and Colorado. There is a green rush.I disagree for a several reasons. I don't think there is a huge number of people over the age of 21 that were just waiting for marijuana to become legal to start using it. People that are already using it without a red card obviously are getting it from somewhere. Why would they go somewhere to pay a retail price when it's going to be cheaper buying from someone that doesn't have all the expense that comes with running a business especially a buisiness that the state is going to regulate so tightly.
Tourism? Maybe a few people from out of town buy a few nugs because they can but I don't see a mad rush to our state either. The majority of voters in our state are not marijuana users, 64 only passed because of the tax revenue promises that were attached to it. A recreational green rush would have to be fueled by thousands of new users willing to a higher price than their neighbor can give it to them for. I don't see it happening.
I agree there will be business opportunities for those who have an existing mmj business or the capital it's going to take for a start up. But I don't see people quitting jobs, selling homes, and relocating families for the ability to use marijuana legally when they are probably doing it without a hassle right where they are at. I think 20 was a bigger deal than 64 as far as a rush is concerned. Either way I think it is a great thing for us and our state.
