Prices will go up because supply will go down. Just because someone can run a dispensary doesn't mean they can grow decent product, and under this proposal, "centers" will have to grow 90% of their own product, and the other 10% must be purchased from another licensee, so no more independent growers, except those with 5 or fewer patients, and "centers" can't buy from them.

Dispensaries can't get enough decent product now (which explains their prices) and more restrictions on how they source their product will only exacerbate that problem. Furthermore, the small growers are going to have to raise their prices to cover their costs if they can only have 5 patients. Most of the costs will stay close to the same whether you grow 36 plants or 100 plants, so they will need to make more per plant. Oh, wait, I forgot, its a weed and grows for free.

UNDERGROUND IS THE PLACE TO BE!
