Yeah jersey, but to my understanding the state forces them to charge rediculous prices. They claim it costs a few mill just to start the process of being a dispensary and a few million annually just to stay legal or what ever you want to call it. The permits to get started the few just to apply for being a dispensary I velueve is non refundable and basically a lottery if I understand correctly. We have a new facility going up and the paper said there is a company interested that wants it but the state chooses out of all the applicants who gets it. There’s a permit that has to be renewed annually or every few years I believe that’s almost a million as well, but when I first got on the program I believe the one place said it’s well over a million just for starting out the fees are so high that’s why they have to charge high prices. Plus the over head. So if I’m being told accurate information it’s very very expensive to get a dispensary and very expensive to keep it. Yeah out ounces though there is no set price you can get a quarter for $100-$130.
Even if we get recreational I think it would really be a disaster and better off but getting recreational for at least 2 More years. I think recreational will have more harm then good. The 6 dispensaries we have now can’t evej serve the less then 100,000 people we have on the program now. Some places have quarter ounce limits and still can’t keep up. So if we get recreational if they can’t keeo up with medical how recreational will work is beyond me unless we get ships like out west that don’t grow and just sell pre packaged bud. I don’t want to talk bad about anyone but that makes all the sense in the world for our dispensaries to just buy from the west cost and sell off the shelves if the current dispensaries are having this hard of a time and we’re not struggling back when there was only 17000 people just under 2 years ago, and the growers either are not very good or the owners are greedy and don’t care about quality. Our weed can’t compare to west coast medical and I have seen street pot better quality. The bulk of our strains our all hovering around 15% thc. Plus the buds look like a disgrace. If I owned a shop I would sell the product as Shake if the bulk of it is small popcorn bugs. Very rarely will you get nice sized nugs and even then they are mixed with broken tiny pieces. If I get an 8th I would prefer some nice sized nugs not ones so tiny I just throw them in the grinder without taken the stems off. Now if I drive west over to philly out ni law clearly states you can’t cross state lines with potbut to my understanding if I wanted to see a eagles game etc they welcome medical marijuana patients over there and some places will aceept your out of state card or u can take your medicine with you. At least my doctor claims pa is very marijuana friendly. I talked to a guy just the other day who said look I understand we are limited to dispensaries but recreational will kill legal weed. They can’t keep up with a very small percentage of our state and you can’t snap your fingers and have a building completed over night even if we got 50 dispensaries/store fronts it will take time to build them plus grow the product.
