Demand for marijuana in Oregon plummets, so does the price
"PORTLAND, Ore. — There is record-high inflation nationwide but not everything is increasing in price. The price of cannabis in Oregon took
a nosedive over the past year and sales are also on a downward spiral.
In July of last year, the price of a pound of marijuana was about $1,000 more than what it costs today. It dropped from $5,433 to $4,536. Sales dropped from over $103 million this time last year to just over $82 million."
Errrr, screeeeeeech, I gotta stop right there. A pound of pot is
selling for over $4K in Oregon? At retail today, right down the street, without any discounts and before taxes I can buy an ounce of pot for as little as $30. The top retail price at that shop, without any discounts,
is $280 for an ounce of pot. And they offer a lot of discounts. Today
the smallest discount you can expect is 10%. For lucky veterans it can
run 30%. Any retailer paying $4K+/pound is losing a lot of money and I
don't think they can make it up with volume. lol
"Top grade" pot is one of the biggest scams going. It can cost 3
times what perfectly good pot costs and it will not get anywhere near
twice as good as the more reasonably priced pot. Mostly what people are buying is bragging rights. That's just the way pot and the market for it work. Past a certain point the differences are very subtle, to put it nicely. Anyone paying more than $100/ounce is buying high octane fuel
for a family sedan.
Just as another matter of simple math: If the price goes down and
demand stays the same the dollar volume of your sales will go down, even though you're still selling the same amount of pot. In the unlikely case that their numbers are somewhere close to right, somewhere, the actual amount of pot crossing the sales counters hasn't really changed much.
As a simple matter of fact: Prices plunged several years ago. In
American dollars the price of pot at retail has not changed all that
much recently.
You gotta feel sorry for the poor stoners who can't afford to stay
baked all the time anymore. LOL

"Top Grade" pot is a scam? How so? The "good shit" can be almost twice as potent as "commercial grade", or "back yard" weed! The cheap stuff is about 16% THC, while "Primo" can run "up to" 36% THC! That's quite a difference! Of course,
When prices increase for luxury goods, & services, the suffering of connoisseurs can nearly put them on the cross in agony, while for those at the bottom of the food chain, the suffering is barely noticeable....

Orson Wells Jr.Well, first off, it is possible to get just as stoned as you want
to be these days at fairly low cost. You aren't going to get there if
you're merely smoking flowers. Your body just can't absorb the chemicals fast enough and all of that is headed to a limited number of receptors.
If you want to get seriously blasted start with a transdermal patch.
I'm not sure this link will work.
https://todaysherbalchoice.com/thc-barbur/?dtche%5Bproduct%5D=1-1-transdermal-patch
If not, start with the homepage and go to topicals.
https://todaysherbalchoice.com/
$20 worth is more than enough to start with.
Here's the amazing thing. I'm sure it's different for everyone,
BUT there is a point where marijuana intoxication is no longer fun. Put
a big enough patch of that stuff on your skin long enough and you *will*
hit that point. Eventually you just want it to stop. The kids I've
talked to suggest that you start with a quarter of one of those things.
$5 worth. This is more than the suggested dose and probably more than
enough for most folks. If you're in the mood you can always smoke more
right along with that. From what they tell me, I think the kids are
usually ready to take the patch off before they've worn it out.
At current prices the $30/ounce stuff is what I would call
commercial grade. It's still better than what most people were smoking
in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Once you're spending anywhere close to
$100/ounce you are into the good stuff here in OR. Spending $280/ounce cannot and will not give you anywhere close to commensurate boost in performance. If you can't get where you want to go with the $100 stuff
it's time to head off into the concentrates.

Orson Wells Jr.Oh and BTW, the "Waygu" beef you buy in this country is famously
a scam. I've had the real deal--in Japan. To put it simply what you buy
here is not raised nearly as carefully. That extra care is why the
Japanese version costs more. American beef grades don't even go as high
as the Japanese grades.

Fancy alcohol of any sort is also a scam. No matter what the labels
say it's all just slightly different flavors of yeast piss. You can get
just as drunk and just as hungover on the "good" stuff as you can on the "rotgut". It's all about bragging rights.

You gotta feel sorry for the poor stoners who can't afford to stay
baked all the time anymore. LOL

"Top Grade" pot is a scam? How so? The "good shit" can be almost twice as potent as "commercial grade", or "back yard" weed! The cheap stuff is about 16% THC, while "Primo" can run "up to" 36% THC! That's quite a difference! Of course, there are

Excuse me but you are comparing apples to oranges. Oregon and California
pot rules and taxes are completely different. California's black market makes up about 75% of all sales due to the botched roll out rules and
high taxes. In Salem Oregon pot stores out number 7/11's
Oregon pot stores sell pot with 30% THC for $65 and 29% for $60 and so
on. But if you want a higher potency say Elephant Ears at 37% it costs
$350. That said probably the smoke is more enjoyable.

"Top grade" pot is one of the biggest scams going. It can cost 3

As a simple matter of fact: Prices plunged several years ago. In

a scam. I've had the real deal--in Japan. To put it simply what you buy
here is not raised nearly as carefully. That extra care is why the
Japanese version costs more. American beef grades don't even go as high
as the Japanese grades.

Fancy alcohol of any sort is also a scam. No matter what the labels
say it's all just slightly different flavors of yeast piss. You can get
just as drunk and just as hungover on the "good" stuff as you can on the
"rotgut". It's all about bragging rights.

A better example might be pianos, which for a century was the family home's bastion of culture... Being a piano teacher was a genuine profession for decades... Now days, teachers are on the internet, and it's hard to get someone to haul a spinet,

I didn't find any 30% for $65 per Oz.... I also didn't see much difference in the price of flower, in OR, compared to CA.... Vape cartridges seem to be cheaper, but most I saw were lower in THC, than in CA....
