How The Marijuana Black Market Is Affecting Legal Dispensaries
It has been about a year since California rolled out the legalization of recreational cannabis, and now that dispensary owners have had a whiff of the weed …
I remember back in my days (2004) you could get a pound of weed for 200 to 400 each. now the prices are crazy if you try to even buy an once at one of those stores fuck it I keep buying from the weed Guys lol
I bought a gram of dab and had to pay 60$ lol I'll keep buying on the black market for the rest of my life
The total tax should be like 15%
We must be under a dollar
Greed
God gave to us
R we suppose to fill sorry for these stores fuck them BLACKMARKET LIFE
Black markets matter!!!!
So there’s 2 options basically
Smoke real shit but pay more due to taxes or Smoke sketchy shit from unlicensed shop but for cheaper. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
SB County only allows a handful of licences, for me the closest licensed dispensary is a 45 minute drive. Also, I prefer sun-grown for flavor and medicinal value.. Outdoor cultivation is banned as well 🙁 Have not had good medicine since I went to Arizona.
Mom and pop grows can't afford the state licensing. They make it almost impossible. Not cool
The “States greed “ is killing the legal businesses with enormous taxes !!!🔥👎🏻
Coming from a state where they spend 22 million a year to keep marijuana illegal recreationally and medically. Fingers crossed now with the possibility of baby steps toward legalization medically. And having dealt with several street dealers. Very few with good product. I look forward to being able to go into a legal dispensary. Just like being able to go into a liquor store. Do I mind paying a lil' extra for what I might get cheaper elsewhere. No I don't. The thought of having a selection and people actually knowing what the hell they're selling is a big plus for me. States have to learn, like with any business, high taxes in the short run won't bring in revenue as lower taxes will in the long run. Regardless you'll always have a black market. If you have the time, money, and resources to grow your own, great. I don't smoke enough for that to be a viable option. Many will say I don't have "the" connection, but I'm no virgin, nor am I a seasoned veteran. I like the idea of having choices.
You will NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR get rid of the black market with those taxes.
If it was not for the black market , there would be no legal market dumbies
Fools blackmarket lol
This is an awesome vid!
It's absurd. Clubs have to lower their prices drastically or go out of business. or just go out of business. No one is paying an extra 30% for weed.
Hey this might be a revolutionary idea, why don't you turn those illegal pot shops into legal ones problem solved?
Trainwreck.
i'm glad that CA finally legalized this. BUT,, weed is not worth what they sell it at. its worth pennies on the dollar. has zero nutritional value and sustenance, 1 pound of carrots for a few dollars is a far better buy than a bag of weed.
Hell yeah cuz no one wants to pay the taxes Captain Jack's bunch of b***** you got to go get 1/8 ur spending 70 bucks I go to my pot dealer and. The same thing for 40 bucks
Mostly all the people go to the shop because they have no where else to go. 90% of those customers are buying weed are not really pot smokers or dont have a connection. Everytime i go i see new customers who dont really know much about weed ask a ton of questions, it's like a candy store for them.
ITS "How the legal marijuana market effects the black market" Black market was before legal sales
And give them to their kids
Tell them lower the price
If you tax it into the stratosphere people are going to continue to buy it on the black market. if my guy gives me 3.5 grams for $50 and the store gives you 3.5 grams for $60 or more who are you going to go to
No matter what new line of business, without the proper business model, zero profit!
Its not the black market. Its your regulations and taxes that set it up to fail.
