And that’s if there is even fully grown product available for sale." Top: unlicensed cannabis bottom: licensed cannabis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoslinger Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 What a mess. Are those expensive licenses one time buys? Or required every year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people who grew the shit on the bottom paid about $250k for their 6000 plant license. They have four 1500 plant licenses that run $68k/each. Those have to be renewed every year.

Angry ginger Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 the only positive if they can wait seems to be the fact they have an advantage on the rec side but i assume the town/city would also need to approve that so not all will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 At least you won't be going to jail for possession. It's still a felony in MN to have more than 1.5 oz of weed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, just a couple of dipshits with more money than talent taking advantage of an artificial shortage.

AKIQPilot Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 This shortage is very short lived. 6 to 9 months and prices will be down below the pre legal rec prices. Same thing happened on the west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 the traffic will fix itself if they get more facilities open. mass drags its feet in the approvals for these places. Friend has a client whose got 12 lined up all over the north shore, fucking guy already drives a lambo from the last industry he jumped on and then sold out of now he's gone all in on the pot game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened on the west coast. Yeah same thing here. Market has to learn the demand. They severely underestimated it lol even at that the black market won’t go away. It’s just cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
