Doesn't change the fact that they're a Rip-Off!

How are they a rip off?

Really? Their prices are undercut by a good deal of the market. Overhead is in fact real, but on the customer's end, all that matters is the price point and the quality of what they're paying for.

Exo took the bullet for you. If that ain't good modding then I don't know what is.

I get that for some businesses but this is a brand new legal business model where the alternative is illegal purchasing through pretty shady people sometimes. I don't blame them for making a profit while also getting taxed out the ass. From what I know about California dispensary businesses, the license alone to sell is insanely expensive. I'd bet these new dispensaries aren't pulling in actual yearly profits for a few years at least. They also have the constant threat of shut down at a federal level. Dispensaries making money isn't something I'm even close to worrying about.

I'm also an idiot for not getting that joke.

I don't blame them either, but I'm not about to be their customer because the price is whack.

Say, does anyone remember a few years ago when I was talking about corporate legislative influence in an environment with legal weed and how it would go after traditional drug dealers in order to establish a monopoly that reduces quality and drives up prices?

The dispensaries are a rip-off.

My $50 for an 1/8th price was a typo. That's the typical price for a 1/4 ounce.

An 1/8th is usually $25 to $30 at the most.
