Had not been to a store for medical in a long time.

Last week I saw an article about the price drop in Michigan and a lot of stores and growers are not doing well. So, to check it out, I took my nurse with me to Bay City to find out.
The article was right. We bought an Oz of Layer Cake. My nurse as a first time customer was given a 40% first time discount and we bought it for $47.50. I use about two puffs before bed, when I don't forget to. Now it'll have to about one puff.

How are the prices in your area?

read about the trouble TX is having growing the product I asked the store person if it was going to affect the supply in AZ. She said no because anything related to MJ that is sold in AZ has to be grown in AZ.

3. Is that the price you've been paying over the last year?

I'm in MI. and we have the lowest tax and that helps.
The same Oz last year would have been about $300 or more. Also, a year ago we would have had to wait up to a half hour to get in the show room. No waiting yesterday.

a 20% discount, so you can up the $526 by 20% to get the "everyday" price.

In in AZ but because I have a card I pay a sales tax on MJ products at a lower rate than those without a card.

Just harvested 12 ounces and will try using vegetable glycerine this time for infusion. Less fat and no need to vacuum seal and freeze. Soil, LED light and seeds cost a few hundred dollars. The butter machine was $250. I’m good for a year.

I just can't use that much anymore to break it all out and start a grow room again.

8. In Illinois, prices dropping but still a bit steep. You can do well watching for sales and specials.

But for me, a little goes a long way. Pot at any price would not put a strain on my personal budget. Plus it is so much more convenient to go to a store, with a wide selection of tested products, than to try to find an honest dealer who sells you whatever happens to be going around.

In Tulsa I pay $10-30/oz for shake. Current strains inhouse are Rosetta Stone, Apple Fritter and GG4.
Example - One pan of brownies yields 16 40mg doses, a pan will last me 2-3 weeks. I get 3-4 pans per ounce.
Damn cheap and I do it all without any fancy equipment.
My MIL is a heavy toker and loves her top shelf flower. She pays around $250/oz.
