I don't believe there will be retail outlets. If you have been reading the news there is a new moratorium almost daily banning retail sales in towns across Colorado. If some are allowed to open don't think it would be safe to be there after dark. SoCo I understand your feelings and hope you continue to prosper but most dispensaries are selling shit these days and greed from shady operations will continue to diminish the quality for most.
As I stated earlier, no hate here, hope you do well and continue to make a profit. I in the mean time will continue to do what I am doing for as long as it amuses me. Think you are wrong about pricing but time will tell. I don't think a business will be able to operate profitably at $100/oz. You would have to move a lot of product in as efficient a way as possible with all the taxes, permits, overhead and all the unknown shit coming your way.In the end market quality will be dictated by the fickle consumer. As the prices continue to fall, consumers will be demanding better products at a lower price. When consumer retail hits there will likely be another significant price drop. I suspect that $100 quality ounces will be the norm at that point. With overhead involved, I don't see prices to go below that level, but who knows.
The bans I've seen are counties, excepting Fruita. Counties will continue to collect sales taxes made in the incorporated cities within their borders, so they really have nothing to loose. Major cities that implement bans will likely be overturned by citizen driven initiatives.
Local [and state] leadership is reluctant to endorse marijuana, so they implement bans to appease the prohibitionists. When the citizens overturn that decision, they can say "oh well, it wasn't us" and still get the sales tax benefits.
They said the emphasis will be keeping the weed in CO and figuring out how to keep the next states in line.
Literally everyone I know coming out of or IN TO of CO is getting pulled over and having their vehicles torn apart in NE, KS, or TX.

Not sure about CA, but here in CO you can get a quality 1/4 for 50-60 dollars all day long. We sell them to members for as low as $30 for top quality bud. Yet you tell me we are abusing sick folks by fleecing them of their money. We have donated more bud for free than you have probably seen in your life. You have no Idea what we do here... quit being so fucking abrasive towards something you don't know shit about. You are not even in Colorado for fucks sake.Im not painting a dark picture,50-60 dollar eighths of mediocre bud to sick folks now thats a dark picture and dispensaries are painting it themselves.
Not sure how you got the idea that we need your help. We seem to be doing just fine without you. Being pretty savy on the business end of things I was just trying to point out what actions private growers in this thread might take to stay productive and in the game. They got fucked over the first time around. Second time around is coming up now.Its funny how the dispensary folks want and need the help of all the rest of us
Just because you say it doesn't make it true. Not all are corrupt. In fact most owners that I know seem to be pretty caring folks. I will say that I do know a few that are total dicks as well. The pile of benjamins is not as big as you think. Some day I might get to keep a couple of them.They didnt adapt to a changing environment,they were corrupted by it,like i said its all about the benjamins.
Funny how you refer to anyone not in your industry circle as "black market",...Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
