Now the market is going where I new it would...a bit sooner than a lot of folks predicted but that's where it's at..for a producer who is coming online in the next few months it will be tough to find markets for standard products & flower, time to get the thinking cap on & figure a new direction...I was breaking it all down in my head...if the retail store pays $2 & sells for $8 with a 17% tax...I think that works out to the state getting paid almost what the grower is getting...now figure the tax paid by the grower to both state & feds & the licensing fees the state collects....SNAFU...throw in some additional garden challenges...like living near other growers who don't keep it clean...or setting up with purchased diseased clones or better yet clones that have been poisoned...what started out as such a good thing..& the consumer still pays over $10 a gram.. the silver lining around this cloud of legality is the personnel garden..Oregon has 4 plants..not much but far better than nun. If your state is beginning this process towards "adult use" you should get involved & fight for home growing. without it it truly will become corporate cannabis.
