The prices at dispensaries are appalling. Unless you are the dude running it, patients are paying the same prices when total prohibition was in place. That is not in my mind affordable for patients.
Growers selling their overages are getting shit compared to going to a market, or making new friends. Lets see, get paid at best $130 for an ounce which they will sell at $300-400, instead of finding a patient and getting paid $200-250 yourself. Convenience has a price I guess, I simply hate unnecessary middle men and overhead.
But hey, do what you do. I don't and won't patronize these establishments. Same approach I take to walmart, they can go fuck themselves.
