I hope prices come down here as well. I can get really good weed for $100 and up at First American shops, and decent mid-grades for $30 an ounce and up... That's just insane to me. That's how prices should be though once it's legalized IMHO.
The state licensed dispensaries need to come way down in price. I have no issue paying $100 an ounce for good weed. Again, once it's legalized, the price should come way down. Like everything in New York state I think they take advantage with "sin" taxes. Which keeps the prices of everything high, and also promotes the "illegal market" because it's cheaper.
At least that's how it seems to be currently working out in NY. Sooner or later I'll be taking the dual-sport up that way for some rides through the Rockies. I'll definitely stop at some local dispensaries in your state.
Oh they fuck us on taxes here too.. 22ish%
Wow! Now I'm curious... Just Googled it.
A potency tax... LMFAO, only in NY. Anyway, hopefully we see Colorado prices soon. I suppose supply and demand still dictate price and a lot of people are starting to set up shop. That could bring the price down. Competition usually does.
Then I just couldn't leave it alone, so I had to find out what the potency tax really was because my screenshot didn't say.

Effective for sales on and after June 1, 2024, the total THC-based (potency) tax rates on adult-use cannabis products have been replaced with a tax rate of 9%. This new rate is imposed on the amount charged for the sale or transfer of adult-use cannabis products by a distributor to a retailer.
So about the same. here. 9% from the distributor, 13% from the consumer. Both taxes are passed on to the consumer regardless SMH. Fucked as well brother! That's a lot of tax SMH
The taxes are cheaper than the fines.. and less painful than jail time
Truer words have never been spoken.
On a side note, some would consider that extortion... Just sayin...😂🤣
I'm willing to be extorted in certain circumstances..
Sure, if it keeps you out of jail. 🤣 #TaxationIsTheft
I’m in NY too. Taxes way 2 much indeed!
Yeah, It's a little ridiculous.
Facts! !PIMP
