But now along the West Coast, legal pot is in trouble with producers facing what many call the failed economics of legalization (April 19) (AP Video by Manuel Valdes)

    Just grow your own, buying from dispensaries is not worth it. No return on your investment.

    In Las Vegas prices have dropped so low. I can get a gram of wax for 17$ after tax. The legal market in Vegas has finally caught up to the street prices.

  13. @wanderingwade8877 on December 7, 2023 at 5:58 pm

    No mention of the illegal grow operations in California’s remote areas that are run by cartels using illegals as indentured servants for labor. That’s gotta put pressure on the legal market.



  14. @SmokiWonKenobi on December 7, 2023 at 5:59 pm

    Man we would buy it in Alabama. Y’all got duped into growing for the feds.

    It seems verify that once something is taxable all the mystery is gone and their is no money making angle anymore so the system collapses.

  23. @bcmprgraphics6378 on December 7, 2023 at 6:07 pm

    A former client of mine has said that CA farmers are having a hard time competing because states like AK are exporting their crops to CA at a fraction of the cost, i.e $1400/lb(CA) vs. $400/lb (AK).



  24. @HCAZz1224 on December 7, 2023 at 6:09 pm

    Send me some of that over supply

    Prohibition never rely work especially it is one of the Jim Crow laws fill with hate that was made towards criminalize minority, hippies and poor Yt communities. The Fed has this ban in order to promote white supremacy

    Growing pains. The market will settle down, and the logistics will have to adjust themselves.

  42. @coryanderson2762 on December 7, 2023 at 6:33 pm

    So maybe they can focus on quality over quantity. It seems they have been just trying to pump out as much as they can.



  43. @frankfritz7389 on December 7, 2023 at 6:33 pm

    Fun fact

    It’s getting exported to the east coast.



  44. @benlogicfactsshapiro on December 7, 2023 at 6:34 pm

    β€œImagine the tax revenue” they said. β€œJust charge taxes and make it legal” they said. We all knew the second you legalized it they would stop saying that bs! People just want it to be legal to get high and that’s what they got πŸ˜‚! What idiot genuinely thought legalizing drugs would shut down the black market! 🀣🀣🀣



  45. @cashrules520 on December 7, 2023 at 6:35 pm
