effing stupid government officials failed economics 101 by imposing artificially high jacked up gouging prices in their attempts to have a monopoly on cannabis sales. anybody with a half a brain cell knows the cartels will always be able to underprice paper pushing bureaucrats.

(14,176 posts)I just emailed my assemblyman, Miguel Santiago, about this issue. I used to smoke more, then laid off for a while, and the last time I went to purchase week (about a week ago) I was shocked by the prices advertised on Weedmaps. The dispensaries I used to go to now sell top shelf sativas for around $60/eighth when they had been 20 cheaper just a couple years ago. It's absurd.
I finally found a good collective with good reviews that sold almost every eighth for $30--and they sell to other dispensaries who charge 15-20 more for it.
