What's unfolding around us now is the potential (or probability) for a large industry. Botanic Labs has an interesting position in this new fledgling industry. Their niche is providing the highest quality around medicine around. Sure you're going to pay more (that's just supply/demand), but if you want to see how things should be done, it's where to go right now. Botanic Labs treats cultivation as an art form, rather than a production-line process.

Additionally, when you see how 'it should be done', it will be easier when you are choosing between strains at your local dispensary, where the average quality is significantly lower.

In the long run, I would expect to see more high-end shops (as total demand grows). I've heard about one called Kali Botanik in the metro area, but don't know when it's opening.
