That would be something to experience, but the dispensaries have the upper hand in the equation till we start forming grower co-ops, that then could balance out the situation. imhoI have yet to see a price war between dispensaries.
This is fundamentally an economic question - rather resembling 'Peak Oil'. There are macro and micro aspects to your conjecture that lack insight to the 'other' market that make the outcome more opaque than you allude to in your analysis.
You are assuming an ordered market with little or no opaque transactions that consume production. Somehow, I think that may be the fallacy in most every projection I have come across. There is no measure for what I would call the 'grey' market ( certainly 'black' in some respects ) that seems to be the safety valve in what I have seen in the California market. The prices for 'legal' pot seem to be fairly stable, and given taxation, I cannot see how the market can move much from where it is here. The product finds an outlet to elsewhere when the local prices fail to meet expectations. I have yet to see a price war between dispensaries.
How’s Oregon working out for you? It seems like, where I am, that most growers are loaded with inventory and dispensaries are giving $4 gram specials. It’s over!!!!I may find out for myself. I just bought some commercial property in Oregon. Wow, folks are really nice there - but they drive really slow like everyone is tripping. I know the look. That will take some adjustment on my part perhaps.
Nice thing is... I get to design from scratch there. And I found a cannabis friendly realtor. The adventure begins.
I went to the local High Times thingy and indeed - all the spare change is going to marketing. The thing that surprised me were the number of farms represented that seemed to be attempting to go vertical or somesuch. The state laws in California discourage that to some degree - but we have a lot that is discouraged in California that has cash run-rates in the millions to billions.
Economics are mostly poorly calculated observations against vague data. It is seeing through the glass, darkly. However I find it more rewarding than poker.

Got 2.5 acres in Washington county. Was going to go OLCC legal. Have a friend that is working for a large OD grow. Had him stop by with there main guy he schooled me on the process. If you are not connected to the upper OLCC good luck cuss your shit out of luck. funny, I remember Coors not being sold, we just shoulder tapped for beer, beer. White can that just had black bold letters BEER. Lol. MemoriesI bailed on the sales contract. The owner was sketchy, I started to see the underbelly of the place and well, it was a sorta nice thought while it lasted. For awhile, I thought they were gonna keep the deposit. The desperation in that market is palpable - and the players are getting popped for shipping in fake rocks and other things that seemed clever (I'm sure) at the time.
I really miss the small grower feel that used to be common. There is a point where the farm or the brewery ( remembering Mendocino Brewing ) with the authenticity we crave becomes a victim of the mainstream search for volume. And the money is apparently made elsewhere, reminding me of the days when folks smuggled Coors beer to the east. Yes, that was a thing.
