yeah, and states like Oklahoma & New Mexico have been overrun with Chinese-owned grow house operations, often using trafficked labor.. that's how you end up with $40/oz. weed when it was $50 for an 1/8 oz. thirty years ago... the little mom & pop growers of yore can't compete with that

I'm not a big fan of THC myself, but I think two out of every three people I know regularly use edibles ("gummies") which seem to me the best thing to come out of legalization. Easier to control dosage and is way more appealing to the types of people who don't want to be smoking for whatever reason (health, stigma). A lot of those people use delivery services AFAIK.

"California’s cannabis industry struggles to survive, with massive distributors going belly-up, tax revenues sinking and dispensaries closing across the state."

I have to say, the MedMen dispensary on San Pablo Ave & 40th looked more like a Verizon store than a head-shop... I know they're trying to appear 'legitimate' but it was really uninviting

i dislike most dispensaries for this reason. the ones in LA were particularly annoying. I like Berkeley Patients Group (the first in the country, I think) and try to stick with them.

i went to one downtown when i was visiting a while back and had left my carts at home and i hated the whole experience, even moreso than the medical experience here in PA which is not great

Yeah, I just walked by the... branch? on San Pablo and noticed that it's empty
What an uninviting place that was, it looked like a stripmall verizon store
