"Colorado's weed is getting much cheaper. In October last year, the cost of a wholesale pound of cannabis in Colorado was around $2,400 to $2,600. That price has almost been cut in half to between $1,400 and $1,600 last month, according to data from Tradiv, an online marijuana distribution platform.
"In less than a year, we’ve seen wholesale prices drop to nearly half of their previous totals," John Manlove, the director of sales at Tradiv told Business Insider in an email. "We’ve never seen prices like this."
The reason prices are dropping so rapidly is because the market is getting flooded. Growers are building scale and ramping up production of the plant.
Manlove explains that this has to do with the way cities in Colorado, like Denver, regulate the recreational marijuana market.
In May, Denver's municipal government extended a moratorium on granting licenses to new retail dispensaries as well as marijuana cultivation facilities.
This has allowed a "minority of large cannabis business owners" to buy up and consolidate the remaining licenses, says Manlove.
Weed dispensary counter:
 © Provided by Business Insider And, without strict "canopy limits" (the amount of plants one facility can grow) the influx of marijuana into the Colorado market will continue to cause prices to drop, says Manlove.
Thus, Colorado growers, with few limits and access to a huge market, are able to build an economy of scale, reducing prices across the board.
Though low prices are good news for consumers, dispensaries will have to cope with lower profit margins on raw marijuana flowers.
According to Headset, a cannabis intelligence platform, the highest margin products for dispensaries are those that make marijuana easier to consume, like edibles, beverages, and pre-rolled joints.
If these trends continue, raw marijuana will only continue to get cheaper. And it's likely that the retail market will adapt by pushing further into such higher-margin products. " not sure how to post the video on top of the article page.

Living in CO after moving back from PA, it's freaking awesome.
While I can get black market buds for cheap, I like supporting the legal weed industry. With my locals discoumy it becomes approximately $12 a gram for whatever weed I want (cheaper if it's a strain on sale) and about $20 for 100mg thc infused weed food.
Black market bud us about 200 a zip, which is great, but considering the weed store is always there when I need it, and calling a weed dealer can still operate on drug dealer time, I pay the premium and enjoy the selection.
I meant to drive out of the mountains to stock up on some, hopefully, even better deals in Denver, but my car shit the bed.

Truly great weed and weed products will always sell for as much as ever. People just need to target the luxury end of the product rather than the cheap end.
If I want to buy high end weed, I don't want to pay less than $60 per 1/8. I want to know that it's a product that competes on quality not on price. If it costs a little extra to take extra super good care of that plant all the way through the process, and to make sure that it's an amazing strain with great taste and smoothness, that's money I'm more than willing to pay.
Also, someone should start packaging weed in wine bottles because how cool and classy as fuck would that be? You could put a vintage on it like a vineyard and everything.

Which is a good thing right? Someone is always complaining about "the market being flooded"
What's wrong with lowering a price off of an already overpriced commodity to begin with?

Waste of money for a small business on overhead if you ask me. Hey but you know what they say, people don't usually buy what they need they buy what they want. People don't really need weed anyway

You find extravagant prices a good measurement of how worthwhile a product is? $60 a 1/8th? I can go in certain stores in Washington and buy a half oz off the discount rack for $75. It's usually prime shit too like cheese or kush or diesel it just doesn't sell quick enough and goes dry and they throw it in the discount shelf.
I think there is enough "luxury" in this country already. I feel like just going to the store these days is such an over priced experience unless I'm in Texas where I can still find a gallon of milk for like less then $3.00 in certain stores maybe even less then $2.50. How expensive do you want things to be?

That's a lot to pay for milk. Around here it's around $1.65-$2/gal.
I definitely have never noticed the "discount" weed around Colorado being anything but excellent. I picked up a flower-of-the-day deal for $8/gram and while it wasn't the strongest weed I've bought out of a shop, it was worlds above most black market weed I've ever had.
Denver has some really excellent deals on their edibles; I picked up a 32% THC free birthday joint, usually $10, on my last trip down. I don't know if it just seemed better because it was free (everything always does), but that thing easily lasted a week and a half between myself and my two roommates. $10 very well spent.

Honestly, that's simply untrue you- at least for realistic purposes. Artificial markets and "luxury" brands will still exist of course. Marijuana is much cheaper to grow when you can grow in bulk without fear of being cracked down on, and the quality increases respectively when the market is flooded as a result. At $60 an eighth, weed is 1/3rd the price of gold by ounce. That's an unrealistic price for a plant that can be grown from dirt, water and carbon dioxide. 10 years ago it was even more costly for good marijuana, in some areas rivaling the price of gold.
$60 for an eighth of even great weed is obnoxious, as you can have great marijuana for half that and even less. If it's money you're willing to pay, that's fine. But it's purely illusory, or a lack of exposure to specific markets. It makes me think of alcohol honestly. A bottom tier alcoholic drink can fancy up it's bottle and change it's marketing practices, and command a price 5-10 times what it was charging previously, and selling more at the same time.
I mean this sincerely. Garlic, wasabi and ginger are more expensive to grow in bulk and command a much smaller price than marijuana ever will. Even the greatest hydroponically grown, strong strain weed is not difficult or crazily expensive to grow. It merely commands a certain price due to availability - supply and demand. It's price is truly the result of a completely regulated market that has artificially been controlled for several decades.
As it becomes more legal, you will see even well grown, strong marijuana drop in price as it becomes more available, until it equalizes with whatever rate it's taxed with that still allows it to be profitable for those growing it. For now, it's still extremely profitable at the scales it's being grown at.

I don't understand why everyone doesn't just grow their own. That's why I want it legal, so I can worry about quality and level of supply myself.

As a red card holder in CO, who grows his own, I would say the reason more don't do it is because it ain't easy lol..... not to grow good weed. It took me a few years to get decent and I did a ton of research (engineer by trade.... total head case when I get onto something). For sure if you want to try your hand, don't go by new equipment.... there's more used equipment available than you could imagine from folks that gave up when they figured out it isn't easy.
Having said that, I do have it figured out now finally. I flower six plants at a time, which keeps me within the letter of the law, in a light dep custom greenhouse with supplemental CMH lighting... tricked out to the be hell. I spend most of my time on thcfarmer in the CO medical forum.
My current girls are almost ready, about another week or two to get the fade and swell right. Stopped feeding a week ago, so starting to get the colors coming in now. Range from 7' tall to 11' (I have a tall greenhouse haha) and I think a couple might give me 2# per plant....

I'm on this forum cause I love to trip and hate to look for acid in the scene. I'm looking to make my own supply of acid and mescaline..... currently growing rye and Bolivian torch cactus es. As with my weed, this is more about producing high quality for myself rather than producing quantity to sell... I would just grow mushrooms but they screw with my stomach

I understand the willingness to pay more for true premium, but as for your first sentence.... Most people i know these days wont pay 60 for an 8th, even if its supa-fire. However 3 years ago that was the standard price. Yes, you look at those local SF free newspapers and last i saw, said "50 an 8th". Prices fluctuate quite a bit. Got some premium wax for 25/g. Usually have to pay a good deal more. So anyway prices are always changing. And i dont even live in a state with a "real" MMJ system (its only on paper)but im in cali every year. Same thing, just more bud/products and generally cheaper. But ever year its a bit cheaper. Was like 90 for 22g of absolute top shelf. Mix of Banana Tange, skywalker og, and El Jeffe. Some of the prettiest and best bud ive ever even seen

I'm always really surprised to hear the average price being around $60/eighth even three years ago. I always paid $40 when I was living in the Midwest. Coming to Colorado only to see that you pay $20-ish/gram for legal weed kinda makes sense, but it was disappointing.

Yeah, okay, I agree, maybe I'm just being crazy here. I'm not unreasonable.
It's like buying alcohol, the mid tier is great, and the high priced stuff is probably exactly the same, but if you have the money laying around... All I'm really saying is that I'd be willing to pay $60 an 1/8 for truly amazing stuff. I've smoked too much shitty weed and am paranoid about it now, so I just throw money at whoever is supplying and hope for the best $60 is not that much money for me.
Maybe my price frame of reference is all skewed these days. I feel old now.
But my wine bottle idea is still good, damn it!

There are plenty of places that offer great bud for like $24 OTD or $20 grams of wax $10 grams Read a westword,rooster,culture magazine
Terrapin cere station 14er holistics Wellspring collective
They all have $30-$35 eigths and its great bud. Not the quality I was getting with my card in 2012 but still good

One of my neighbors recently got her medical card and she invited us to share a joint she'd picked up. Between her, her husband, myself, and one of my roommates, I think we got about halfway through it before we realized that we were just way too stoned. I'd been told that medical was incredibly strong, but that was the first time I had the chance to experience it for myself.

Agreed^ not gonna fight capitalism. But our brothers and sisters getting locked up in the streets, thats coming to an end due to legalization in most places (will take a little while for the whole country to fall in line...but its headed in that direction and theres no turning back). When there are Marlboro-style joints, then thats when IMO it has fully been taken over like alc gambling tobacco pharms

Its funny, I'm a CO transplant from PA and I see SOOOOO many PA plates on the roads. Made me realize how much of a shit hole it really is
And as others have said, if you can't get bomb weed for bottom dollar you're shopping in the wrong place. I picked up an 1/8th for $30 OTD that was perfectly trimmed 23% THC delicious bud. Theres literally no reason to ever NEED to smoke stronger than 20% THC anyway. Its literally a mocked practice to "brag" about how much weed you smoke. Guy I work with is also a stage manager and he said out back people would be rolling half-oz blunts of shit easily that strong and they'd just pass it around like it was a cigar at a baby's birth.
Black market can admittedly be MUCH cheaper if you find the right people (fuck, tons of people are literally giving it away), but this way you know exactly what you are getting and you're fueling the fastest growing state economy in the country. I'm cool with that

Those 10# plants are most likely being grown outdoors yeah? I've seen a Yeti that gave up 20# but it was grown on the coast in N CA and was like 20-25' tall.
I'm talking about getting 2# off each of (6) plants in a greenhouse that's only 12x14, though it is 12' tall to the light deprivation curtains. I could grow a 10# plant I'm pretty certain.... but I wouldn't be able to fit much else as it would need at least a 100g pot and would have to veg it for at least 9 months to a year.... just not efficient and I like variety.

Sir.....had I not seen this for myself in Nor-Cali wine country in the mountains I'd think you were a wack job. 25' trellis frames for the plants that hit the top on even steep mountain inclines is amazing no matter how often I saw it. Especially seeing some harvest guys using a small chainsaw to cut them down with redwoods towering, lol. None of these other places are doing it because there isn't a more perfect growing environment naturally available.

I bet you're from Cali.
The shit that comes out of Colorado is better than all that garbage cali outdoor.
I dont know a single person in CO that gets weed from Cali.

This sounds like utter bunk. It would be real risky moving tons across state lines.

It's true, and the states surrounding Colorado and California are all a little pissed at all the weed coming out of them, so law enforcement more vigilant than they have been previously.

Chainsaws to harvest weed is too funny... I agree N CA with that mist every day... It's just tits for growing weed...
I achieve much the same results, and with denser buds... but only by forcing mother nature... In the summer I'm able to keep my plants at 75-80degF and 50-60deg RH during the day and I get a 30-40 degree temperature swing from nights to days as I live in what amounts to a high desert.... all the double domes that write books on the subject of how to grow cannabis will tell you this is bad for the plant haha... I say it's just like with grapes, makes the fruit sweeter.... and if I might lose a little weight to sluggishness growth in the mornings, I believe it is made up for in the nug density... been growing real dense buds but with the crazy frost like outdoor weed... I'm killin it on cannabinoid % (when you baby your plants it's amazing how strong they can get) and grams/watt
I've always wanted to 1) grow my own weed and 2) make my own acid and 3) grow my own cacti for mescaline... one goal checked off, 2 to go :-)
Planting Bolivian torch cactus crop... so 5 years from now I'll be able check that off. Been researching making acid, seems getting the ergot is main hurdle... we'll see on that one
Check it... those are 8' X1"dia bamboo stakes...

That's good to hear, although that won't stop them from pulling folks over for other, equally flimsy reasons. When I was living in Kansas, one of my roommates went on a trip to Colorado (with KS plates) and was stopped on the way back - for going five miles over the speed limit, no less - in case she was bringing product back with her.
In the defense of the state trooper, she was.
Also, nice grow, Bubba. Good looking plants!

That's why speeding is inadvisable while trafficking illegal goods.

I live in California, and have visited Colorado and had weed there and it was just as good or better than what we have in California. Of course the strains were all different, but that was it. It was truly excellent weed and every bit as good if not better.

People are still gouging in the cities but in these no name Oregon towns pot is cheap as fuck. Over the border just a wee bit into Washington and get yourself a half pound when you buy a full tank of gas. People don't care. I mean I guess if you get busted. But in some of these places they're practically throwing it away. Go to somewhere like Eugene and you pay out the dick hole. I bet there's weed going bad. I've seen a lot of sales and specials lately, but I rarely go to shops anymore.

With the ability to very simply extract the cannabinoids, weed should never go bad but probable does. One good rule in CO is to not have weed available around October as all the guerilla grows come in and price goes to nothing. There will be $800 pounds of good outdoor available this year is my bet... we'll see. If you can go to market a month before that glut hits.... that's where the sweet spot is but you still won't get more than 1600/# or so..... not that I would know personally
