I seriously doubt it, as not ALL dispensaries will go along with price fixing, plus it is illegal, and this industry is going to be closely monitored. If I owned a dispensary, I know I could make a lot of money AND sell $10 grams, $25 1/8ths, and $150 ozs.

Any time you add license fees from the state-and communities--that cost will be passed onto the consumer. The cost of growing indoor medical marijuana is very expensive and that is what patients are paying for now.

By making dispensories grow at least 70% of the product--puts the small time grower out of the loop--who very well could be growing a great product that is willing to sell for less--thereby limiting cost competition within this industry.
