CO makes so much $ from legal pot sales, they may have to give some back!

Other states will be jumping all over that bandwagon!

Hahah for real! I'm actually surprised they haven't yet!

It's the TABOR law

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Personally, I wouldn't mind if the govt spent some of that money improving the roads & bridges, but fuck me, the taxpayers have spoken.

Ohio legalized gambling recently.

In the news last week... Ohio casinos are suffering from increasing crime rate. People are being robbed as they leave with winnings. (An elderly couple were kidnapped in the parking lot of the Dayton casino... )

The selling point for legalizing gambling?

Taxes would benefit 'schools'.

Lol I hear you there! That's what some people were saying, "I dont mind if it's going to the schools" and what not but, the law is the law I guess. Lol

Fuck, that hurts, huh? That's terrible that people would stoop so low. I just don't get it.

Yeah but no doctors are going to want to practice there now. Pot destroys the community remember?


Pssssht sorry naysayers, what you say now?

Idk why docs wouldn't want to work there anymore? what's their reasoning?

how about dropping the fucking prices down closer to what bud is actually fucking worth.

any bud grower in the entire world knows you can grow 5 lbs. for $250

thats about $10 for an 8th (3.5 grams)

give them distributing profits $4
also give them tax money $3

there you have it >>> 3.5 grams for $17.99

any bud sold for more is pure robbery, and the sellers & the politicians should be jailed if they sell it for more.

Same old marijuana scare tactics that get burned into their brains in med school. Plus they are in the pocket of big pharma so they wanna sell you all their crappy chemicals.

DOCTORS ARE DRUG DEALERS!

They just haven't dealt much weed until now.

actually I was wrong.

the real value is at about $3 for an 8th (3.5 grams)

still the price could stay at $17.99 for 3.5 grams.

it would just mean they get more tax & distributing profit

actual produce cost $3 (3.5 grams)
distributing profits $7 (3.5 grams)
tax $7 (3.5 grams)

total = $17.99 (3.5 grams)

Who gets the .99 cents?

You certainly don't get it for $18/slice on the streets either. I do agree for sure it's over priced. But $18? Hah. Nevahgonnahappen.

It's a lot cheaper out there darling. Especially out back behind the dispensary.

Gotcha. True.

Yeah I suppose, but not that cheap? Really?!

Not indoors...

Thanks for the pin!

wolf!

The CO Governor did cid come out and say he regretted the decision, another law that shit was just fine the way it was!

Look at what DUI laws did to restaurants and entertainment

my point is that I know how much it costs to produce the best bud.

both indoor grown & outdoor.

it does not cost as much as people think it cost. its actually very cheap.

so why all the overpriced costs & ballooned profits ? ? ?

they can get rich selling it way cheaper. thats the truth.

I get sick of always seeing politicians rip of customers all the time on everything.

not just on bud, but on everything.

Woohoo

yes,, once you already have the table & equipment.

its true I did not add the equipment cost.

but once you have it already ... yes its what I said. ive done it.

Agreed, I think this is going to blow up in their face no pun intended

Supply and demand, if it was cheaper they would have more shortages.

If as an example 50 ounces a day are sold but they only take in 40 ounces in a normal day, they have to raise the price till the outgoing value lowers till equal with the incoming supply.

So say they are now charging $100 a gram, yet people are still buying more then the replacement rate of the product incoming, the business still has to raise prices or they go out of business when their supply dries up.

at overpriced costs & ballooned profits i bet they are only getting 20% of pot smokers as customers.

drop it to a more reasonable price & they'll get all the smokers buying off of them.

they should always have warehouses full of supply in this business.
there is no reason to ever be short for what the demand requires.

Agreed. 100%

I have a problem with this on so many levels but I'll just share one with you and this is coming from a guy that used to smoke pot in my front yard working on cars!

Now you have a whole generation of kids coming up thinking that every thing in life is ok now because they can get high, the Government is now like hey we completely crushed your way of life but here smoke some pot and it's all cool!
