now lets see,what dispensarys are haulin in...since they have to" supply" themselves,that requires a facility,..INTRUDUCING MASS.production... price drops to a fraction of the original cost...definatly NOT passed on to you...how many people can you cram into a pot store?....lets say 100 a day....each buys just 1 oz...you just made 50,000 today,oh and its only monday....multiply this times 7 then 365..........thats about $127,000,000 a year.....and thats just 1 place folks.......now tell me again how these places are non-profit?
What is the average cost to produce an oz. small scale,say 12 plants indoor? outdoor?
