most of the guys who were getting lowballed at 23 last season for good indoor have stepped up their game, found new buyers, moving most out of state....
right now in the bay area prices are pretty damn high, even though everybody is growing, more people are brokering. so there is usually a run on anything sellable....because most people here are catching onto how to flip a 25 into a 32 these days....
the only people getting lowballed 25 and under for their stuff are local people with limited connections....i can get 3-32 religiously for OG kush here in SF....and theres a few highballers who are glad to pay 36 because its going to a not so saturated market...
in my opinion the price only goes down because growers let it! supply and demand. they need the supply so the growers can demand a price. too many people lookin for a quick flip because they cant save money to pay the bills. meanwhile you are the fucking man if you can cop a lb for 4k on the EC.
hemp my friends grow hemp. There will always be money in hemp. Im never going to stop growing even if its $100lb for me its never been about the money. I love to grow cannabis and enjoy what I have grown. You want some here ya go.
How much longer do the small time commercial guys have before they need to start working on their resume? When will the price go all the way down?
We need to get our EC brothers and sisters some good seeds...

Price for really good dank wont drop that bad even when it goes legal. have you ever tried to mass produce the dankest of the indoor dank? environment control alone is a fortune. not to mention having to add a lot of security. Then even if you have all that you have to have really good growers. They won't work for cheap.
The market will basically just do as the alcohol market did after prohibition ended. It will get regulated and taxed upping production cost. Insurance will be required for employees starting 2014 driving cost up.
Then the market will divide it's self up by quality, and rarity. people will be able to control price by patenting specific cuts they make, and drive up demand by limiting quality if the strain is highly sought after. However if they get cocky and charge too much people just won't buy it and they will go under if they don't produce more and lower price.
I predict it will balance out nation wide at about 2500 a AAA quality pound, when legalized because saturated markets like California are getting more than that right now for their AAA dankness.
Lots of people try to grow the dank but they can't. Lots of people fail in the green rush because they have big dreams and buy a huge set up for growing the AAA sticky, and end up with mediocre mids. they don't get it right quick enough and after that they simply can't afford to keep going. Then back to Kansas for them, cause cali is fucking expensive.
No offense, but anyone that believes the federal law will ever be repealed is either uninformed, or smoking way too much. The collusion between banksters, USA, Mexican govs, and corporate run prisons produces too much money to just say bye bye. This age old monopoly can't be broken up with anything short of armed rebellion. I foresee Mexico's gov taking over the cartel's business through warfare and armed conflict. They have the media and the people that will stand behind them when it goes down.
As the cartel market share plummets in certain areas, I see bills introduced and passed. The border agents have been commanded to stop seizing money going over the border. The DEA is trying to slow down the overflow from legal and illegal grows to help protect Mexico's GDP.
