Hear me out. I’m a former Vermont resident with a background in agriculture. My husband is as talented and as humble of a cannabis grower as they come, and our dream is to move back and start a cultivation/manufacturing business. (I know everyone touts this, but…) we grow the good stuff — organic, in soil, regenerative with Korean Natural Farming techniques, terpy as hell, and high THC test results. But I ALSO know that our story is a dime a dozen. So what is missing in Vermont’s cannabis world? What are Vermonters looking for that they can’t find? Maybe concentrates?

Before you bite my head off for being another out of state opportunist - I’m just a mom trying to support my family and Vermont’s local cannabis economy by doing what we do best.

VT has absurd limits on the strength of concentrates and edibles for the rec market. Hopefully they'll lighten up soon, but that's the situation right now.

Yup. I love that they are there, so I can swing by after work if I'm totally out but I still support my local black market until the prices are reasonable.

I will also buy some things like gummies or a cannacigar one in a while, too. The big thing is the restrictions on concentrates are crazy too

What’s missing the most is reasonable pricing. A slice should not be $50-70.

There really is not a lot of money in cannabis sales/products. Look at every other state that has retail California, Colorado and coming soon Massachusetts — there are so many failed cannabis start ups. Just look at how the prices have dropped in MA and now with legal retail in all the surrounding states it’s going to be a tough environment for dispensaries and growers. Can you make money—-sure if you are really good but it’s a really competitive business.

Scott's definitely a large part of the delay, but the board once fully formed weren't able to issue more than a few outdoor grow licenses before the seeds needed to be planted in May, so much of what we have right now is indoor.
