For real part of what made me give up on dispensaries was the overinflated pricing to recoup cost/because they knew people would pay. I read a business article pitching this industry to the greedy types as 'pot being potentially more valuable than caviar per gram!' Potentially being the word thats doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Things are worth what others are willing to pay, and I ain't paying 20$ for a gram of flower no matter how topshelf/premium. But the medies who know nothing of the game and just get the medcard and go to dispo to deal with pain/illness will happily throw 200$ at half a zip so maybe I'm not the intended audience for dispensaries.

Being able to buy legal tab tested hemp from vendors at fractions of the price is one of the few ways life and maturing experience kind of worked out in my favor.
