So I went to a store yesterday day in Denver to buy some weed but the line was huge. An when got closer the guy told us that its 2 to 3 times more expensive then normal.then The weed is weaker for recreational users.so I think I'm going to stay with my illegal weed dealer better price an better product.

So what do yous think about legal weed
 
You guys are currently running off the medical marijuana supply. That's why it is so expensive, they haven't had time to grow and make supply equal to the demand yet.

The price will initially be high to get the firms some start up cash and limit the amount being bought (so people who need it for medical reasons aren't left to suffer) and then once there is a large recreational supply the price will begin to drop. It doesn't need to be so expensive once all the costs are sorted, look at Uraguay - $xxx a gram.

I heard that medical marijuana was all the leaves and stems and buds of the plants ground up. Is that what people are buying?
 
That's not true...

It's just the same as anywhere else, probably better quality than you would get from your dealer in most places. Example:

Legal on the state level. Illegal on the federal level. There is a bit of controversy here but from what I understand so far, the state law should be the decider (technically). I'm no exert on American law though so I may be wrong.

This link will probably explain it better:

...
An example of the federal government acting upon the assumption that all federal law is supreme over State law is the medical marijuana laws in California. Though I do not agree with the legalization of marijuana, even for medicinal purposes, the actual constitutional legality of the issue illustrates my point quite well.

California passed a law legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes, but federal law has marijuana as being illegal in all applications. Therefore, using the authority of the federal government based on the Supremacy Clause, federal agents (or at least until recently) have been raiding and shutting down medical marijuana labs in California. However, there is no place in the U.S. Constitution that gives the federal government the authority to regulate drugs, nor has there been an amendment passed to grant that authority to the federal government, therefore the raids on medical Marijuana labs in California are unconstitutional actions by the federal government.

The Supremacy Clause applies only to federal laws that are constitutionally authorized. Therefore, federal drug laws are unconstitutional. As a result, California's medical marijuana laws are constitutional because they are not contrary to any constitutionally authorized federal laws.

"Therefore, federal drug laws are unconstitutional." Other than this, what they are saying seems to make sense. However the federal government powers as outlined in the constitution are all that is required to trigger the supremacy clause.

It was a marijuana propagandist saying government marijuana was poor quality. Not me.

This is a nice photo. What are people actually buying?
A supply deficit does not make me think quality. This was not simply some gossip I heard. It was a woman claiming to be a medical researcher, citing the quality as a detriment to the research.

People are buying the same medical stuff, just with a 25% tax. The "adult use" dispensaries are just relabeled medical dispensaries, they have the same products that have been sold.
It's definitely not bad bud, and the lack of supply does not indicate bad quality (nor really high prices, since even with the 25% tax you'd be paying less than you would in any east coast city to buy illegally).

As far as the federal/state government thing, Jackeh wouldn't really be right, the federal law still trumps. But the justice department's memo from late last year tried to give some guidance to the state medical/recreational programs, in terms of what they would allow for the sake of the experiment.

so you started this article based entirely on assumption?

(I understand this wasn't you and i'm trying to reach the mod here) Can you make the $xxx into $x please? the reason I ask is because it was confusing and could be mistook for displaying many hundreds as this is one of the ways in which someone would display something that would cost 'to the tune' of a few hundred, it could be just me but it did take me a while...

Wait, why was this even edited?

It wasn't a discussion of price IIRC, it was a general comment on some peoples wealth in Uraguay. It wasn't even the same number that I had posted (which was a price - so fair enough).

Surely it's not price discussion if I say £100 a day is a lot to spend if you're a student, or something similar?
 
The cannabis in the Oakland, CA medical scene is excellent, imo. In fact, I can totally get into medical culture whereas I couldn't stand "420 culture", which was my only option before medical came along and changed how we (can) look at cannabis.
