And in the old days you could buy a new car for $5000 and your paychecks were only $75 a week on a full time job. However in economics there are things called inflation and supply and demand. Now if these people were able to have fields and fields of pot (massive supply) I'm sure they'd be happy to give you an awesome deal. Dispensary owners go through a lot of stress trying to keep the law off their store. Even though things have been better lately, who says that they will stay this way. Their risk is the reason they cannot lower prices. Think about how easy it would be for some stupid state level or municipal level drug task force to just walk in and take EVERYTHING. Yeah they really aren't allowed to do that, but since when have cops followed the rules? If it took you 4 months to make something and it could just be taken away from you in a snap, I highly doubt you would just lower the prices to the point where it is being given away.

You guys should be bitching about the headshops who buy SHIT glass from china and india and sell it on a 300-500% markup. They have lower risk and it takes A LOT less skill to run a headshop (trust me I run one)
