That’s kind of the point isn’t it? MOMs are better in every conceivable way. Hard to imagine what terry could do to become my second choice again, let alone first.
My point is, they aren’t better in every way. There are a lot of good options out there still. Cheaper, and same selection.
I still firmly believe in having the Gov run it though and collect the tax. And that’s how I’ll purchase it.
Totally agree, I’m all for purchasing it legally thru LPs too. But for me it is ranked
1. LP
2. MOM
3. Not getting high
4. Scraping the resin out of my pipe in a last ditch attempt to get high
5. Terry
All LPs and MOMs are out of stock, their suppliers burnt to the ground with no sign of replenishing supply for an indefinite period of time and then I’ll consider terry again.
I’m just saying that the black market is strong, and I know several people who see no benefit to it being legalized for them, as it would end up costing them more (for the same product, all shapes, sizes, and forms)

Hopefully AB will sign more supply deals with LPs as legalization continues. There are some really great ones that won't be part of the AB market initially.

Probably too soon to make those judgements regarding prices considering we have no idea what they will be. The existing mail options aren't really valid examples.
Considering the government stated one of the reason's to legalize is to cut out the black market, I assume prices/taxes will reflect that effort. I doubt the black market would bother absorbing much of a hit to their bottom line to become competitive, may as well switch the capital to... prostitution and gambling?

I know exactly what they will be, high. As high as the people who buy the product. As high as they have been for the medical bud I’ve been ordering for well over a year. They will lean on Cecil’s point of the majority don’t want to use the black market. Doesn’t mean it won’t be cheaper (since they won’t be paying tax it’s pretty obvious).

Sorry, this is just your opinion and not based in fact. Everyone has an opinion I guess.

Instead of a tax you will have to pay the risk premium. THey are going to crack down hard on Terry so his price is going to go up.

Fine fair enough. Let’s follow up in 2 weeks.
Calling prices will be in excess of $9/gram.
Edit: I also don’t understand how it’s just an opinion when that’s how much I pay through legal means currently. Smartest thing they can do is undercut terry for a year, eliminate them by making their product the best option financially, and then raise the prices going forward.

Most bud will definitely be north of $9.00 per gram. The AB average wholesale price as set by AGLC is $8.90. Most strains will probably be in the $12-$15 per gram range.
People are going to go to Terry about as often as they go to moonshiners.
You’re comparing sticking a seed in dirt to grow a weed (suuuuppper easy) to distilling alcohol (one of the most dangerous things you can do in your home).

That's insane. I'll go to Terry with those prices. He gives it to me for $3.50 a gram.

It's not insane at all. Insane is $3.50. In the mid-90s it was $15 and that was fine. $12 - $15 is perfectly affordable for most people, anyway. I like supporting local stores where people are earning an honest living, paying their taxes and contributing to society.
Terry will kick around for a couple years, but not beyond that in any meaningful way.
IDGAF about Terry, anyway. The best part of legalization is not having to worry about a possession or trafficking charge for doing something that shouldn't be "wrong" in the first place.
What if Terry is one of your best friends? I would rather not give any more money to the government. It's the reason I started home brewing in the first place.
The interesting thing to see if and how much the AB government will undercut brick and mortar stores since they will be the only legal online shop in the province and they have the exact same inventory as the brick and mortar shops without the overhead.

lol, well you do you. You can't possibly think you're not in an absolute minority of people that brews their own beer while hanging out with drug dealers. If Terry was my BFF I would probably go to him, I'll give you that. Like I say, the more important thing to me with legalization is not having to worry about possession charges.

I was actually just chatting with some friends about legalization and we were all a little bit excited at the prospect of getting rip roaring stoned and then getting on a flight. I've never flown high.
Also the prospect of travelling in Canada with weed. Next year when I go to Montreal for the F1 race I'll be able to bring weed and get stoned before I go to the track. F1 was cool not high. It's gonna be insane when I'm stoned.
