Anyone know the answer?
Cause there are a bunch of dispenseries around my area, i was wondering when the law goes into effect, the dispensers turn into retail stores where i can buy super dank, primo dank sticky budz at a reasonable price....
I sure hope they do 
Cause i would load up, in more ways than one

I don't think so, because there is different permits/regulations/rules etc. Medical marijuana is much different, and all of them have to follow different laws depending on the state.
I don't know why it would matter though, because if it is legalized where you are, there will be plenty of retail shops opening up that aren't related to medical stores, selling the same high quality cannabis.

I believe the dispensaries are tax-free if you have a card or some shit like that. I don't even live in a medical state so..

retail dispensaries don't really charge a "reasonable" price. first off they charge top dollar since they have so much overhead (rent, employees salaries, lawyers, ect.) then they add tax on top of that which in some places is something like 25%. when i was in colorado a couple weeks ago i spent 180 on an 8th a gram of BHO and an edible.

holy fuck! thats so expensive!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!
I went into a local medical dispensary and paid 25$ for an eighth of hash (girl scout cookies) THC:48% CBD .2% CBN .3% i think
for 180 i could almost get two ounces of weed! Goddddd im sorry you had to pay that!!!! thats fucking ridiculous. I wouldn't even be able to pay that much, theres just now way i could afford that.
also i hope you meant an 8th not an 8th a gram cuz that would just be horrendous.

this.
Also, I know of at least 3 Colorado recreational dispensaries that sell some decent bud for like $6 a gram
The more it becomes legalized, the cheaper it will become.

Funny thing is where i live i bet it will become more expensive once legalized. the market is already so flooded so with supply EXTREMELY high and demand high weed has come down to about 80-150$ an oz.
When it gets legalized the recreational dispensaries are going to be selling pot for like 375 an ounce or something ridiculous, maybe a bit less but that was the estimate given.
All this means is that the blackmarket price will probably raise because growers will be able to make plenty of money from selling to medical dispensaries and recreational dispensaries and the people still distributing on the black market will realize they too can raise there price a bit but still keep below taxed prices easily.

Exactly depends on how they want to conduct buisiness. because it can increase their profit margin in 1 year something like 3-400% by raising prices for light smokers and the tourism factor contributes half the profits now. I was watching a documentary about a Colorado dispensary that went from a few grand a week to several thousand in one day. From me medical dispensaries are better atm in the sense that they can sell it a tad cheaper with no tax. From what I understand medical herb gets much more expensive after recreational marijuana is mixed in. I wish they could sell cheaper to help the people avoid heavy costs. However it flies off the shelf at 275$ an oz and recreational users often can justify that price because it lasts so long for them and they don't use much since I provide medicine for myself and my terminally ill father. WE have spent almost every dime we have trying to get him and myself our meds at a decent price. Even 200 an oz right now is too much for us so we have to explore other options through the "medical marijuana system" I guess you'd call it. I wouldn't be able to do that paying top dollar plus taxes.

Michigan 2016! lots of work going into this legalization proposals...
But to answer your question in Michigans case NO
Medical will still be separate and follow different laws and regulations versus
If recreational cannabis is legalized its taxes and licensure will be different than those in place for medical.

I can say in Colorado that NO the medical.stores DID NOT become recreational, certain stores applied for recreational licenses, but the store I frequent is MMJ only, meaning recreationally legal or not they will only sell to card carrying patients.
Medical dispensarys are FAR better when it comes to price, but its all the same marijuana, recreational stores have to tax the hell out of their product, so locals get medical cards (which you don't need a "real" reason for, you just have to.pay the doctor) and generally out-of-state folks shop at recreational.stores, some locals shop recreational, but the smart ones know is SO much cheaper to get an MMJ card (which actually were "red" cards for a while, now they are finally plastic (even though its thin and tearable plastic) and are white and purple)

In CO medical and recreation are separate. A store has to apply for a rec license. It took ~2 years from the time it was legalized till rec stores started popping up because they had to write up and decide on regulations and the tax system.

Weed is taxed out here in AZ I have always had to pay sales tax. Also it is on the ballot this year in AZ to become fully legal. This is why I am glad I got hired under a grower and not behind the counter at a dispensary. A lot of the dispensary owners are freaking out a little about the whole legalization thing.

I live in Colorado and I can get an 8th, a gram of BHO and an edible for about 45 from a rec shop I go to.

On 4/20, my nearest dispensary had a 4/20 sale and had $10 1/8ths (limit 1 per person on the 1/8th), $12 BHO grams, $90 ounces, and like $4 1g prerolls
