Supply and Demand.


At first I think prices will go up as everything gets sorted out. Demand will outstrip Supply. I do not see how the dispensaries alone will supply what they sell by growing their own. Mass produced plants will not be near as good as what the small growers do. Quality will suffer. Prices will rise.


As prices rise more people will grow their own. Legal or not , they will sell their crops. More product will hit the market. But they go to just selling to people they know, from selling to anybody legal. LEO will be having a hard time because there are too many small grows under the radar. LEO likes big numbers. They will stay concentrated on the big boys.


All this small production will drive the prices down. It will also drive cannabis back underground. It will come down to buy junk at a dispensary, or going to one of your friends or your own plants for the good stuff. In the end I think this will be a boon to the small high quality growers.


You have no debate from me about the sheer stupidity of this new law. But in the end I also think this will backfire. You will have a lot of small growers and patients supply each other. The big boys will wind up being the shit magnets. And the little guys that stay in the rules will slide on by.
