Reply to comment by nhbruh in New Hampshire Lawmakers Refine Cannabis Legalization Plan, With Vote Expected Soon by OregonTripleBeam
I know $35 a slice sounds cheap but we’re talking about a product that’s actually easier to grow than tomatoes. It can come down a lot more and still be profitable.
Meanwhile the private dispensary’s you love so much are gouging us cause we’re used to paying more when it was illegal.
It is just a plant in the end.

I’m not disagreeing with you, I think I just have a different perspective because I’m interested in a premium product/service. At any rate I hope NH can legalize so we can capitalize on lost revenue from such late market entry. Cheers.

Some people also don't seem to think about scale of these operations when they see some of the prices. Yeah, it may be a bit overpriced right now, but until it can be federally legalized, I don't think there will be a massive shift in prices.
There's a big upfront investment for the facilities and staff that needs to be made up. Plus, many law firms are incorporating cannabis strain intellectual property law into their services. So, growers that want to avoid a costly (potentially ruinous) lawsuit pay royalties to grow some of our favorite strains.
The best analogy I can think of is the industrialized agriculture industry. They can operate across state lines with large reaching and complex distribution networks that allow them to operate with smaller profit margins. (I agree with the points you've brought up, just adding food for thought).
Edit: btw, which dispo do you hit up? I go to herbal pathways in Berwick. They have quarters as low as $45 after taxes. Prices vary depending on which grower it came from.
