Many states have taken years to come down to the reasonable prices they're at now.

Also, grey market can compete in NY state:

The first nation reservations sell weed, and ain't subject to tax. In Western NY I can buy an ounce for as low as 30, and very good quality for more, at the same prices I see in States where it's been legal a long time.

Another note, look at cigarette sales in NY.

As a former tobacco smoker myself I will tell you the majority of heavy users in my area buy Seneca brand cigarettes on the reservation for $2.50 a pack, not Newports for 12.50 a pack. The reason they can sell them that cheap is again, the taxes.

I'm sure in a few year's legal prices will be more reasonable, but I don't foresee prices going down any time soon.

Edit: Before anyone asks where I get mine, or doubts my claim prices can be so low: https://www.leafly.com/dispensary-info/the-lab-dispensary/deals
