Sure sure I guess the LP's gonna be capped at what they gonna make. I can't see the gov not wanting to make at least $2-3 per gram if they are talking about using the money for health/addictionrelated programs.

2 or 3$/g is pretty reasonable. You can pretty much only buy shake for that from an LP. And no black market dealers sell for that cheap.

public safety?

who died?

what he just said in public WONT GO WELL with Lp's and or the Recreational market in general

WAIT FOR IT!!!!

he just dropped the market price of every LP.

Now thats a forward looking statement if Ive ever read one before hahahaha

No I was talking about the gov making $2-3/g and capping what the LP's can charge say $3-5 per gram so $5-8/g + PIST/GST+ any other provincial tax?

 

[CannaReview]

how much do you think the BM price/gram is right now???
for buying in large amounts?

Well say an LB goes for $1700 (BC coast) so $1700/454 = $3.75 No way would LP's settle for making $2 per gram even if the gov charged $2 gov tax on top of that for $4/gram.

 

[gb123]

prices were half that when the LP's started.....
it can go down..

if everyone could grow it...there wouldnt be much of a market
be like cheap smoke eh!!!! and if they wanted more..theyd have to do MORE with it

I would like to see retail prices of medium grade around $4-7/g and then for premium and boutique quality $8-13/g. I also believe there will be a market for organic and 'naturally grown' indoor cannabis, not sure where prices will end up. I wonder if super long flower sativas will be worth growing for retailers and cultivators?

 

[gb123]

prices like that are robbery
you can grow outside for free!!!

 

[CannaReview]

Well it depends on what new "harsh" laws they are going to introduce to punish those who sell outside of the regulatory system. Most growers were doing ok with $1200 per LB hell they were still making money at $900 per LB although that was with much smaller amount of risk. SO the gove has to introduce hight enough risk to try to keep the price of illegal weed high in order to make the legal weed seem cheaper.

Oh yeah because outdoor is just as good!!! Come on!! lol.

 

[gb123]

the money is in everything else around the plant...Rec and meds will be a moot point in the years to come..

 

[gb123]

Oh yeah because outdoor is just as good!!! Come on!! lol.

if you know what you are doing It BLOWS ALL LP SHWAG off the map!!
and its free
and its about MEDS for some!!!
and its free
outdoor meds are the same as indoor and you get MORE because you get bigger!!
and they're free!

simple logic,,

and its free!!!,

not everyone burns the shwag herb parts

 

[CannaReview]

Another thing is if they don't allow home growing they can forget about 90% of the current cannabis culture from buying legal weed. It would look pretty stupid for the Liberals if all of a sudden they were throwing more people into jail with weed being legal than when it was illegal.

I realized this after I posted. But 5-8 isn't bad in a legal rec market. Some of the prices in Colorado and Washington are almost 20$/g.

yah $5-8 is much more reasonable but you can't ignore the amount of tax that could be generated. He might be saying this now but there's lots of hands behind him wanting that tax money.

Some of the stickiest, skunkiest blow your head off shit comes from the outdoor.

That is for sure. He does put emphasis on trying to keep it relatively cheap in order to cut back on black market sales. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[doingdishes]

well the Devil's Lettuce is infinately more harmful than tobacco...just ask Harper.
it's all fear mongering. look at what he said that if you tax too much, you'll have a black market...??? unless it's less than the BM, you'll have the BM.
new comments as to why it's so hard and more reasons to put it off. at least decriminalize now and work on legal...but get on with MEDICAL dammit

 

[gb123]

our dollar is 70c to the usd.... imagine the export sales???

just another business ready and waiting!! It's a special haul dont ya know !!
