For alot of people 40/50 an eighth is totally worth it. I agree prices should be lower but this is a perfect example of why legalizeing wouldnt bring prices down like everybody tries to say to scare people into being against it. "Legalizing would lower prices therefore everyone will be stoned all of the time". its just bad logic and medicinal marijuana has already disproven the logic that it would lower the prices substantially. Talk to your dispensary and maybe they can help you out with medicine depending on how severe your condition is. Other than that you could shop around for lower prices. Around here in cali i have a place to go that weighs 1/8 to 3.7-3.8 ALWAYS and you get a free gram for 40 bucks. That's almost 5 grams for 40 bucks, keeps me medicated for two weeks and i find it to be a reasonable price. If looking at what it gives you than 40 bucks an eighth is reasonable, if your looking at what it takes to grow it, 40 bucks is astronomical. Bottom line is might as well just grow your own.
It's been 50 an eighth since I have been on this earth, which is the reason for the post, legal or licensed. It's still 50 an eighth. I can buy from any dispensary I want to in Colorado, but if i want the best of the best, from a dispensary that actually gives a damn about quality because they are patients themselves, i end up paying a little more, which in my eyes in wrong. it's not my fault if the dispensary that is either convienant to my house or has better customer service than others or is safer or cleaner or more professional looking. It's that they bought it from whomever for their price and then jacked the price up to the normal price so they can afford their beamer and marble floored bathrooms off my disabilities.
Now if the market is going to play on people being disabled and severe conditional people existing which makes this all possible, then the damned price should drop to a reasonal level. If little Joey walks in and has a sprained ankle that isn't healing right, he should pay 50 an eighth, but if little Suzie walks in with terminal cancer and cannot work because of it, she should pay at most half that since it is considered medical but the state, insurance or medicare won't pay a dime for any of it. So here's a glitch in the system. Another thing there would be no way of regulating Suzie paying $30 an eighth and Joey paying $50 an eighth, eventually Joey would get pissed and this would either bring the prices down for everyone or hike them back up.
The nitch- I can go to the nearest dispensary and buy say White Widow in it's finest quality for $50 an eighth and walk in no problems and walk out and drive home safely.
OR....
I can also find a caregiver or another patient on Craigslist or like sites selling from their own personal grows and if I find the guy that sold to the dispensary that same White Widow i can buy it for the price the dispensary paid for it, but it seems people are constantly either getting scammed, jacked or taken to jail for doing so lately, so you run that risk. (They are working on getting rid of this ability by law currently, one day you will only be alloed to buy from lcoal dispnsaries adn the dispensaries have to grow 100% of their inventory). Which might jack the prices up! !! grr!
