Reply to comment by thedude_CT in Idc I'm gonna complain bc wtf are these rec weed prices?? by littlekiwi524

Ah that’s nonsense I can get a QP in CT for less than $400. There’s adequate supply.

I live in Chicago rn, been legal since Jan 2020. 1/8 is $50 still to this day.

Adequate legal supply? Totally different story. Looks like will continue to be black market purchases for the foreseeable future until the state grasps that they aren’t competitive whatsoever.

They are literally talking about legal supply - they're talking about recreational dispensaries.

Your comment is pointless and off topic.

Sure so smoking only dispensary weed is legal to you?

Or is all weed legal to smoke now? Also maybe realize that the QP bought for $400 was grown on a farm inside of Connecticut that doesn’t have legal standing. There’s plenty of weed in CT. Whether or not the state wants to license it is why some people will happily perpetually be paying out the ass for shit that grows from the ground.

The same law that made weed legal let’s you grow your own weed. So again, The state will become uncompetitive being this greedy. It has little to nothing to do with supply. People have been buying medical 1/8ths in CT for $25-$30 for years.

This is a cash grab not a supply issue.

It is 100% a supply issue.

There is lots of cheap weed on the gray market. If you want to go to a store and buy it, the supply does not exist, so it's expensive.

This isn't rocket science, but you're too busy being mad and feeling self-righteous to have any conversation that isn't about how right you are.

tl;dr ur dum

Because the weed is not in stores, the supply doesn’t exist.

Yes I’m ‘dum’

You should go talk to all the heads trying to get their farms licensed being met with stiff resistance. There is no supply issue. Weed grows extremely plentifully, extremely quickly.

Also love how you glossed over the fact that I mentioned there is cheap weed in CT and has been for years in dispensaries. Shows how intellectually dishonest you are in your arguments.

There is no supply issue. Curaleaf regularly incinerated hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of inventory due to low demand prior to rec opening up... the "supply issue" is entirely artificial
