Illinois Drought?

Catpotwoman said:

I'm in Chicago area and some prices have been back down over the past couple of months. Cresco and other similar are still going strong at 60-65 an eighth, but I've seen lower-profile growers at 40-something per eighth.

I'm expecting city prices to spike in January due to recreational consumer excitement, then eventually get cheaper than what they have been for medical card holders.

Personally, I think medical weed here is a giant ripoff. In California earlier this year you could find sixty dollar ounce specials.

Good thing the illegal market coming here out of Oregon is strong. Not that I'm advocating breaking the law, of course.

This afternoon, my dispensary is back to 4 strains of flower (2 indo and 2 CBD)... only in 1/8 packages.

I have been looking at pricing on enails to put on my Grav bubbler... always a big variety of concentrates in stock.

I hope "special deals" there had air quotes around it.

Wow. $60 for an eighth? That's crazy! So is forcing you buy multiple 1/8ths at that super-riduculous-inflated pricing instead of buying a straight up ounce or two.

Yeah unless you want to buy popcorn or shake. They have lower prices on that.

Like I have posted before the supply is always low lately. It seems as if the cultivators are sandbagging products for the first. There used to be $30 1/8ths but those sure seem like they are going to be gone for a while. Hopefully the prices will drop to a lower level again soon.

That being said, they do have the best prices around here. And they have a great staff too. I have called numerous other dispensaries just to ask questions and to hear how they would respond. In my experiences no other dispensary could answer my questions in a more knowledgeable fashion and they do so in an incredibly courteous and caring manner.

There might be places less expensive. But those places aren't near where I am. And everywhere within an easy drive of less than two hours is more expensive. Where in Fulton the price of Shelby County Community Services cannabis oil is $42 it is $60 everywhere else. Fulton even gives you another $10 off if you have to drive over a hour and a half to get there. They really do take care of their customers. And I thought others should know about what a great place it is.

My dispensary reported a week ago that the reason they are out a lot lately is due to a scarcity issue. Went back yesterday and they were still low. Was told Cresco raising prices as well. Has anyone else noticed a scarcity at their dispensary? Wondering if it is legalization but the bud tender told me they've also had a huge number of new medical patients.

Why are you going to a dispensary to get raped ? You should be growing your own.

I haven't lost a single customer, this state and city are so inept..I never will. Charging people 60 an eighth SMH.

Oh I am... its just nice to be able to go get something different. That and a lot of people don't have the patience to do it. But you are right, the prices are ridiculous. I don't buy bud there very often. And they don't seem to have it very often anyway. When they do though It's nice to be able to get something that you didn't have before. And sometimes there is seed in there. We (some friends) have gathered a decent collection of different seed out of the cans.

I've never been to one, I just hear how crazy the prices are..I've seen the quality, wasn't impressed. I see the lines to get in and laugh.


I actually bought cresco stock, only 3k worth..figured with JB as governor and a shareholder the company would thrive. So far, nope.. it's actually down 60 cents a share since I bought it.

Yeah, the prices have gotten out of hand. When I first got my card it was a lot better. I've posted about it before. I used to buy Alien Rock Candy by Aeriz for $30 a can. Last time I talked to the Manager in Fulton, Aeriz wanted them to charge $55. And the quality has not improved.

I think it's the greedy ass state and city who are driving those prices.

There appears to be a change in the amount of flower available at my shop... the menu for this weekend shows 28 strains available for med... and packages up to 14g now. Some strains in tops, popcorn, & shake.
