I get that for some businesses but this is a brand new legal business model where the alternative is illegal purchasing through pretty shady people sometimes. I don't blame them for making a profit while also getting taxed out the ass. From what I know about California dispensary businesses, the license alone to sell is insanely expensive. I'd bet these new dispensaries aren't pulling in actual yearly profits for a few years at least. They also have the constant threat of shut down at a federal level. Dispensaries making money isn't something I'm even close to worrying about.

I'm also an idiot for not getting that joke.

I don't blame them either, but I'm not about to be their customer because the price is whack.

Say, does anyone remember a few years ago when I was talking about corporate legislative influence in an environment with legal weed and how it would go after traditional drug dealers in order to establish a monopoly that reduces quality and drives up prices?

The dispensaries are a rip-off.
My $50 for an 1/8th price was a typo. That's the typical price for a 1/4 ounce.

An 1/8th is usually $25 to $30 at the most.

When I was buying/smoking weed a lot from 2005-2009, a gram was $20 in the North Jersey streets.

We'd weigh that sh*t when we got back too. If we got less than .8 or a bag full of seeds and stems, we don't call that guy no more. If we're gunna pay out of the ass for weed, I don't want to be f*cked in the ass while doing so.

If I'm getting scammed I'd demand anal since I still want the weed.
