Marijuana prices drop by 80% in California! $650million+ Taxes!
 

If Prop19 passes ...

Marijuana prices drop by 80% in California!
State tax revenues range from $650 million to $1.49 billion!

"The Santa Monica-based, nonprofit research institute predicted the cost of marijuana, which runs between $300 and $450 per ounce, could plunge to about $38 by eliminating the expense of compensating suppliers for the challenges of operating in the black market."

I'm fucking down for a $40 ounce + tax.

that will be junked state :)

Bill Terminated.

The Governator won't sign this.

wake me up when the prices of the hard liquor drop by 80%

If Arnold does not sign this he is the biggest hypocrite on the planet.

38 an O....:thumbsup

Will be interesting to see if the prices go down to the rest of the country.

thats a big drop...better to keep a high price...200 an ounce or something

then you force people to buy 1/4 or 1/8th

which is more realistic to say buying a case of beer

I'm not in Cali, and I don't even pretend to know how any of this works, so I am basically just talking out of my ass, but...

If the growers were paid $50 p/ounce by the retailers, and then the retailers marked it up to $100 p/ounce, and then the state added an additional $200 an ounce in taxes, the cost would be $300. I think most people would happily pay $300 p/ounce for legal weed.

This would still allow the growers and sellers to do well, while making the state a FORTUNE in new taxes!

BTW, here in the northeast good weed actually costs between $400 and $600 and ounce. For $300 you can get low end junk at best....

id be high as a kite 24-7 if prices dropped that much

Yah right..

No grower will ever sell an ounce for 38.00.

Never.. Schwag maybe but no kush

Not that i'd know :upsidedow but that sounds a bit pricey. Are they buying the most expensive 1/8 on the planet and multiplying it up?

wow 38/an ounce and I'd be a happy happy man :)

Agreed. It is difficult to find an eighth at that price, much less an oz.

Currently, yes of course.

But, say one is legally allowed to setup a HUGE "warehouse" operation in the middle of the desert (like Palmdale or Lancaster), with see-through roofing to make use of natural light, plus digital indoor gear to supplement for year-round indoor hydro growth, powered by "green" wind turbines, solar, etc. ... one could produce 10,000's of pounds annually at extremely little cost.

400 per ounce? laced with gold or what?

Where would they move the meth labs?

Isnt that what they do in mexico now?

They grow cannabis (hemp) for rope and I doubt they charge $38 per ounce for rope. The manufacturing cost with legal cannabis production is extremely low. My guess would be below $10 per pound from farm. Current tobacco prices from farms are $2.50-$3 per pound in the US, in Africa you can get it below $1 per kg.

In California if a proposition gets at least 50% of the public's vote it doesn't need the governor's signature. (Some propositions require 2/3rd's vote, but again the governor cannot prevent the law from going into effect.)

this would turn them into pothead state. you can get more taxes but did someone count what would the sate lose with lower productivity of work class people?

What happened to his hair?
I think it's stained in chewing gum.

I can see that happening. They would have to lower prices drastically otherwise people would just buy a clone and grown their own.

thats insane...

It was $40/O in the early 70's till about 1974.

Stoney pic pimpporn :)

little entertainment 4 u & me today









great early 70s Jim Stafford song









lucky seven and a fav

time for me to move to cali :) open up a few rehabs "Rehab X Press" hmm my tag line "ill kill that monkey on your back" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Maybe, but cost of transportation, risk, lost product, etc. gets factored in ... and also I'm not sure if Mexico focuses on the BOMB indoor hydro vs settling to get decent outdoor schwag at best.

It's time to make the weed legal :rasta

I pay $50 for an eighth.

I'm moving to California if this passes.

what other crimes do you want to confess? itz 0 tollerance here. :helpme dont be surprised if they pull you over and search your whole damn car.

drugs are bad m'kay

She might be talking about when she visits States that have mmj laws :2 cents:

BTW, you might want to take a look at prop 19. There is nothing there that would allow that to happen.

Cheap reefer for everybody!

there's no way i can see the price going lower by any noticeable amount. + this:

Based on a statewide $50 per ounce tax proposed in a legalization bill introduced by Sen. Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), the report said state tax revenues could range from $650 million to $1.49 billion.

$50 an oz tax! wow. that report makes some big assumptions and seems somewhat biased toward anti-weed/drugs.

Any price under $400/oz is a great deal, especially for that name brand shit. Damn I wish I lived in Cali.

Just looked at the specials and Hindu Kush is 300.00 :thumbsup

Wow holy smokes, i'm in the wrong state.

bump for cheap herb in Cali



what a find & why the i-net isn't dead Prince :)

Bomb Chronic price will only go up not down! Idiots!

Go arnie :winkwink:

No shit dumbass, my scenario was pressed on your statement of "Agreed. It is difficult to find an eighth at that price, much less an oz. " ... I was explaining how if "legalized" ... and not just by means of Prop19, which more or less decriminalizes, then your difficulties wouldn't be so much of reality.

You're the only idiot. "Chronic" isn't even a strain worth mention ... go back to the 90's

you can't even make profit @ 38 dollars an ounce i don't see how you could even offer it that cheap. i call shens.

you have to take into factor electricity bills, water, nutrients, soil, clones, etc... outdoor maybe but even then it's not going to be as good as prime time indoor nugs which 80% of potheads want.

You might want to go back to your original post. :2 cents:

No way a Zip would go for 40 bucks. Unless they importing the brick weed from mexico.

Any smoker knows quality shit starts at $250

Bubba Kush $200/O I love Cali :rasta

Fuck - it cost that much in labor just to properly manicure an oz of decent bud. Even in an outdoor grow on state and federal land (where much of the Cali weed is grown) the cost is higher than that by at least 3 times. A decent greenhouse grow of top-notch KB - with no pesticides or seeds (can you say a lot of fucking work) and average yield cost the grower around $200 an oz - there is no fucking way that KB will ever drop to $38 and oz.

I'll pay the price for good ganja and you can buy the moldy, pesticide riddled crap a grower would part with for a fraction of what it cost him to grow.

Razzle dazzle - my girlfriend calls it "Horny Weed" :)

Depending on where you are from - "Chronic" is used to describe any good seedless bud - and is not a reference to the strain "Chronic" - in fact, in some locals, "Chronic" refers to cocaine laced bud so be careful what you ask for..... :)
