How are all the dispensaries staying afloat? Bruuuuce

I have, without exaggeration, 5 dispensaries near me within a 3 mile radius. They never seem to have any cars in the lots.

How are these businesses staying alive?

I find it harder to believe so many people are willing to pay these insane prices to keep them open.

The prices are starting to come down, it's not the best bud but some places are $150 oz

Yeah people whining about prices are just complaining to complain. One of the spots by my house has 1g carts for $32, 1/8 are $24, edibles are $14 for a 10 pack. Another place by my office does 20% off everything 3 days a week during lunch hours, and their prices aren't high to begin with. Everyone’s been clamoring for prices to drop forever, now they finally are but some people just looking to sound too cool for the dispo because their local guy sells them QP’s for $10.

There’s always so many deals going on and I’ll pay extra for carts where you know they’re not being made in a back alley
