Yeah OP- how much did that lotion cost? This seems crazy expensive.
cpujockey OP t1_is0eo3h wrote
Well the weed was $55 each. I forget how much the salve cost. But keep in mind that the cannabis tax rate is pretty high, much like I was last night.

Its sad that MA is cheaper than VT

Mass resident here (Im sorry), the flower prices were 55/eighth for years here. Now, as the market continues to mature, the prices have been steadily dropping and specials popping up constantly. I'm sure VT will do the same

Vermont will outlaw specials, same way you can’t order a full size pitcher, i guarantee it.

Yeah that's what I assumed was the case in mass and would happen here. Still, I can get vape carts for the same price in burlington as I can in greenfield, so that's good.
BigFerd t1_is2q7iu wrote
If you don't mind driving further south than greenfield, Liberty Cannabis in Easthampton MA has quality 1gram carts as low as $35/40 before tax. Vs 50+/- for a .5g cart in Greenfield

Look up “green mind events”. You can get carts for $10-15 and everything else for wayyyy cheaper.

What about Michigan? I was there last spring and in suburban Detroit you could get an ounce for $150, which is the same as what I get good homegrown for here in VT
cpujockey OP t1_is0l1jw wrote
give it time.
There's also a 14% tax on the stuff here.
Plant_table_couch t1_is0sahv wrote
Most MA places have a 20% total tax as local municipalities can add on top of the state tax up to a total of 20%.
As a MA customer, keep an eye out for sales. Some of the deals make it “worth it”.

My thoughts exactly.
There are a lot of businesses that will be popping up over the coming months / year.

Still $110 for a 1/4 is like 2010 weed prices.
cpujockey OP t1_is2hf2f wrote
to be fair - back in my day I was spending $40 a 1/8th.
escobert t1_is2hruu wrote
I've paid up to 60 when no one had anything when I was younger and as low as 20 when town was full of pot. 40 was pretty typical for indoor, 30/35 for outdoor.
cpujockey OP t1_is2ilz0 wrote
yeah, back in the early 2000's shit was all over the place for price. good shit was hard to come by, but when we found it - maaaaaaaaaaaaan it was awesome. I haven't found anything to this day like the OHS that my buddy let us take a tiny hit of once that fucked me and another buddy up for like 2 hours on my moms porch. fuck that was a blast back then.

IMO $55 for a slice is close to the going rate for black market well grown, high potency known strain weed. That $200 price tag seemed high. But the slice price is good. I’ve paid less. But I’ve also paid more.
Thank you for your reconnaissance!
cpujockey OP t1_is2tqu8 wrote
I thought it might be useful to someone out there to document my experience. I've done some YouTube videos on my channel about some of the tools I bought in my journey of guitar building. So I figured it would be a cool thing to do. I also just really wanted to experience the legal market as I haven't had a chance to.
madamesugartits t1_is2n9ep wrote
Really glad you had such a good experience! Does seem a little pricy, but if memory serves close to what I paid at a Boston dispensary pre-COVID.
What other strains did they have on tap?
cpujockey OP t1_is2tk9u wrote
Can't recall off the top of my head because the wedding cake and royal goo really stood out. But I think that they had available about 3 to 4 other varieties when I was there.

$55 for an eighth?!?! 🤣 black market isn’t going away

No sir. It's going to be around for quite a while.
