I know that Native Reservation areas get tax breaks that allow them to have low prices. Some dispensaries might be run by larger companies that can cut prices even if it isn't immediately profitable.......I've seen all kinds of numbers over the years....decades. Right now might be the cheapest (and most plentiful) weed has ever been, certainly adjusted for inflation. The highest I've ever seen was $700/z, very briefly somewhere around 20-25 years ago, and for quite a while closer to $400/z was more normal than $300. Probably because they were transition years. Through the 80s-90s imports plummetted, it just wasn't worth it any more to bring in hundreds of pounds from Columbia, Jamaica, Panama....Mexico has always been a thing but that's obviously much easier. And there was always a market for "mids". But as demand rose through the years, small (but higher quality) amounts were grown in the US and Canada.....the war on drugs waged on, crackdowns on harder drugs scooped up lots of weed, so much easier to bust......prices peaked. Then because prices were so high, more people started growing to take advantage....then came the legalization movement, and we're at this point now, lots and lots of supply, prices cracked.
We're probably going to see an oversupply of businesses, commercial grow ops.....I wouldn't want to have recently borrowed a lot at an adjustable rate to get into the business.......but there are so many cycles for so many things. It got to a point a few years ago where we could find a new IPA every day and never be able to try the 50 new IPAs that came out the month before. Believe me, I've tried. ;)
This is why I think the next thing in weed will be demand for old school varieties, nostalgia......there will be a market for those who can grow Columbian Gold, Panama Red, Thais......landraces, heirlooms.....those who can grow them well, and cure them properly. Same for old school, sifted and pressed hash.
Like everything else in life, over the years markets change, supply meets demand, and there will always be demand for quality, uniqueness....
