I am a grower and I do OK in terms of weight brought in. I will happily sell an oz. I get a slightly higher price and I put my product out there. Then the quality sells the qt lb on the next go round. So I swipe bussiness from other growers. It's called competition.

You are talking a business here. You don't need new growers. You need a stable of maybe 6 people that do good work. And are willing to work together.
What you are describing would work to service maybe 100 patients who used a minority of their 60 day supply. Which is to say, you wouldn't be influencing the market unless there were another 500 collectives just like yours...at which point, consumer side supply would match demand and the market would adjust. At the moment however, we are looking at just a handful of dispensaries in areas like Tacoma (or NONE in other areas) where the prices at the consumer level are the highest.

Iʻve gotten A+ grade meds for $210-$225 an Oz on average, Hash on the other hand was fairly sh!tty but itʻs safe to say iʻve not had the ability to really shop around.

but it seems that prices have gone up somewhat, is this indicative of the entire state or just a few areas ?
its 100% dependent on who you know.
