A more accurate title would be that prices are dropping to where they should be.

Legal weed isn't a novelty anyone! they should be lower because that stuff grows like weeds and we can all grow a shit load of plants legally here.

My father in law, a grandparent, smokes weed. It’s not taboo or cool anymore, it’s just something people do.

There are so many pot heads that wanna make it their career that they're crowding the market. lol

I was in Portland, Maine a month ago and you couldn't swing a fucking dead cat around without hitting fifty pot shops. I don't know how they stay in business together.

It’s a massive bubble. Way too many businesses and none of them are really adding anything special to the market. I’m from Oklahoma and we don’t even have legal recreational yet, only medicinal, but there are still two dispensaries on every street. They’re like Starbucks at this point.

Soon they'll be as ubiquitous as liquor stores.

That might also indicate that this might not be such a crazy bubble as well. Convenience and liquor stores don't individually add anything special to the snacks and booze markets, but people enjoy convenience much the same. They won't make VC startup money, but it could simply turn into lower profit margin steady business.

We can only hope that it doesn't all end up consolidated.

This is the right answer. It will also squeeze the off book sellers and drive more business to the shops, which with have higher sales volume to make up for reduced margin. (Unless we open too many shops)

I think the shops will eventually look like liquor stores, but I really hope not. I love how nice they are, in my town they built a $5M(guess) building and property. It looks amazing and is constantly packed. I assume it drives business to the shops around it too

Ok good for you dude. I think the prices are fine so what about that? What are you trying to say? Nobody gives a shit if you grow your own weed, go ahead.

No one ever said you can't grow.

I’m not saying I can’t either. I’m just saying the cost of mass bud pays itself off over time by using alternate means.
