Comment on Smart Kid
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 day agoYeah 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
