This does happen, but in my experience, there are times when the patient is as much or more a part of the problem as is the dispensary owner. When a dispensary can't move good product because a goodly number of clueless patients want something purple because purple pot looks cool, the dispensary owner is going to buy purple pot and price it as high as he can get away with, no matter how mediocre it may be, because he's got to cover his ass on his overhead, which includes all that really good green/gold bud he paid for that he's having a problem moving because the eye candy crowd thinks purple pot is cool because it's purple.:wtf:

I don't mean "it'd be nice to know" as if it should be a normal thing to know about a business btw But if a place is saying to the growers that they'll only pay 'x', end of story...that just isn't the kind of place I would want to support regardless if the grower is free to go somewhere else.
That's the rub isn't it? I predict that this will start happening PDQ now that the writing is on the wall.

Hopefully they will, and the quality will suffer and hopefully we'd know about that...it's just nice to know the inside scoop so that you don't have to get to that point.
These laws are just another attempt to pervert the free market in favor of a political agenda. Supply and demand economics is formulaic and predictable.
