HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 day agoIt varries state by state. West coast is actually really cheap, but east coast where I am is much higher. I also think the longer its been available helps pricing as well since we have been dropping little by little each year and I dont even think its that bad anymore. I basically just buy the sale items now. Normally our joints are single but 1g for anywhere from $8 to $30. Ounces are probably double what your prices are if you get a good sale or buy shake otherwise the standard is about $90 for a quarter (used to be $100) but can go as low as $50-$60 on sale. I generally buy concentrate and i can get them as low as $25-$30 for 1g which used to average $50 just a few years ago.
I don’t buy much, the 1g concentrate is small, cheap, very strong, and lasts me a month or more and im fine with that. Normally everyone i see who is buying stuff in store buys way more though.

Ah ok thanks for the info. That is a little pricey. Back before it was legal here the going rates were about $10 for a gram, $180 an ounce, but of course it dropped significantly since it was legalized across the country.
We can also grow our own legally (up to 4 plants at a time), but most people don’t really bother.

Yeah growing up it was always $20 1g, $50 3.5g, and $90 7g. I used to get awful weed for around $200 an ounce and it was like $300-$400 for good stuff. So with those prices it kind of set the original pricing for the state, but it has come down significantly and having the ability to choose stuff on sale is a gamechanger. We all agree here that it will continue to drop as it continues to become available and more stores open up which is incredible. I am slightly jealous of the places that get it even cheaper.
When our state legalized it the only way some agreed to let it pass was to agree to some rules. That meant no personal home growing at all sadly… if I didnt have kids I would take the risk, but its absolutely not worth it. I just want to try it once for fun. They have said from the beginning that it will be legal in the future, but recently it got taken off the table again. We believe they dont want to allow it so more people have no choice but to buy it so the state rakes in more income. Hopefully one day it changes. The funny thing is when it was passed they didnt realize there was a part in there to legalize mushrooms lol. Everyone was so angry about it and i think they had to immediatly pass a new bill correcting it which was done in a week or so. Just goes to show if they want something done they absolutely can do their jobs. Sorry for the extra info haha.

That’s stupid on so many levels. The goal up here was to undercut the illegal market and suffocate it, and it’s worked fairly well. I guess it’s just too lucrative to screw people over for a simple plant.
I used to grow before it was legal here, (Still do on occasion but used to too) and it’s pretty easy. I didn’t this year, but plan to throw some plants in my back yard again in the spring. My youngest daughter has a job at a grow op growing for a living and she’s really good at it. I can’t get a job doing that because I have a criminal record, but at least I can still toss a few in my yard lol

I firmly believe in the american counting system in that regard… there can’t be more than 4 if you stop counting there. Image
