Were dispensaries supposed to just eat the cost of lowered prices on their own?
I think this is more of a springtime phenomena. Indoor winter grows are expensive and a pain in the ass. Growers look forward to spring and summer so they can get their plants outside and grow big under the sun, unrestricted by the vertical and lateral confines of a flowering greenhouse and vegging room. They also hope the prices they get for their product will hold steady so they can budget the spring grow and try to offset the thousands of dollars they have spent on electricity from October through April/mid-May....plus...when mountain growers come out of hibernation they are hungry and cranky.
