I Seen It Raining Fire In the Sky
 

Legal recreational pot industry opens in Colorado

I see where the going price is $320 an ounce plus a 25% tax. So one ounce will peel $400 from your wallet.

Fifty years ago it was only $10 an ounce.

I blame Nixon and Ford for not doing enough to fight inflation!

It's Bush's fault

Think of all the new meth heads this will create!

Colorado residents typically score as one of the healthiest and active populations in the US . . . let's keep an eye on Doritos and Pringles sales this year. :D

Maybe they are all like Bill Clinton, and they don't inhale.

The world is ending!:eek::D

For something that grows for free with just a little tending.

Modern hybrid cannabis is utterly unlike the Messican stinkweed we bought for 10 bucks an ounce (half seeds and stems) decades ago. MMJ patients often buy by the gram now it's so potent.

Really, that's the retail price for legal CO herb??

One of my clients has an adopted son, his only child, about 20 - dude is a bit of a wastral and a loser - a few days ago as I was leaving his father's house he offered me a half pound of bud for $800 and showed me some of the product. I don't even smoke much these days let alone distribute but I couldn't help but note the low price. His father is aware of this activity, in fact was present when the offer was made, not that it matters, sort of a strange story.

The new black market for pot might be like the current tobacco black market: undercutting the tax man.

Some growers got rich on it in the not too distant past but I hear that so many people do it these days that it's frequently a marginal business often with hard to move inventory taking up space. And achieving seed-free quality takes some effort, it's not automatic money.

They get $100 a quarter oz and up now depending on the quality.

Pretty certain that commercial weed growers use cuttings and hydroponics almost exclusively.
No boy plants that way.

Bet being in the hydroponic supply business is pretty good money these days though....;)

At those prices the Mexican cartels could probably do just fine doing a black market with a street price at half that.
