no reason to doubt told me about a month ago that one of the many cannabis shops in my area of Oregon was selling (can’t remember the name of the strain) for $25 an ounce! He said it was driven by surplus and that prices were way down all around; and that lower prices were driven in part by so many people in Oregon opting to grow their own.

But “I don’t have facts to back that up”. However, I can also say that one of my sons says prices are way cheaper than street prices pre-legalization and regulation of recreational cannabis here. And that’s with the 25% state tax on cannabis sales. Crazy world.

Just stick a seed in the ground and then clone new babies. The best investment would be those that make grow lights.

Indica, oz (sold in *huge* eighth-ounce jars), all taxes included, out the door $420. About $120 in taxes in there.

It's less if you have a prescription. Once the state went Recreational, I stopped fussing with the prescription. There are Recreational taxes added for those of us that no longer want / use prescriptions.

$59oz. (big sigh)

When the first 2 dispensaries opened (finally after 2 years) to recreational, the lowest price was $300/oz. The dispensaries limit flower to recreational buyers to 3.5 grams for each visit. 2019 will see more licenses finalized and hopefully inventory will be plentiful enough for both medical and recreational and prices will drop.
