Pot Prices Not Rocky Mountain High Anymore

Pot prices are falling dramatically in Colorado. Even with the average price of an ounce now down to $300 you would think there's lots of room for a black market selling at even lower and untaxed prices

Dang 300 an onion, it's 2001 a space odyssey all over again.

 

For those of us not in the know, what is "normal"street price?

 

Depends, regular your looking anywhere from 50 to 80 an oz depending on where you are. Good shit will run you normally 60 an 8th 120 a quarter 400 an oz

 

Good THC extract in the purest form will run you $100.00 for a 500mg cartridge.....so I hear.

 

That's the word on the street?

 

allegedly

 

Nyc is currently 350-600 an ounce depending on quality.

 

I don't care much for regular. A long time ago it used to be adequate to good but over the years the quality of reg has gone done as the price has gone up. That's probably why I rarely smoke anymore. If I have to ask myself if I got high it means I didn't. On the rare occasions when I splurge for the good stuff it's $110 for a quarter oz or $400 an oz. Allegedly

But the point of this thread is that even where it's legal doesn't necessarily mean that prices will be low. If regular averages $300 per oz in Colorado you know that people are growing an selling on the black market for a lot less for both reg and the good stuff. I don't know for sure but since it's legal I doubt that the narco squads are looking very hard for do-it-yourself entrepreneurs. A person could make a very good income from a small operation growing quality weed for a small exclusive clientele for reasonable prices and not run nearly the risk of getting caught or doing prison time like they would in a state like Louisiana or Texas.

 

That's because all you New Yorkers are rich. If it was legal in the Big Apple they would put a $200 an ounce tax on it. When I was there a couple of years ago a $5 pack of Marlboros cost $13 because of the taxes.
