90 day count down: Oklahoma welcomes METRC

I’m not worried about anything except the hundreds of millions of dollars of black market investment money that has essentially purchased all the land in the state.

I could care less if someone sucks at growing weed. In a well regulated market that’s just part of that specific economy.

I do have a problem w people growing thousands of acres of shit weed…destroying distillate, flower and concentrate prices and doing so because they don’t follow regulations.

Distillate is $900/liter. Live concentrates are going as low as $4/g. Flower is sub $1000.

Illegal massive grows are fucking us up big time and taking all that money out of the state.

Fuck that

im annoyed that bm resellers are the ones getting rich. I gotta quit growing and become a drug dealer buying cheap and selling high. I got good weed i make but resellers like the cheap shit they can profit off. cheap shit isnt always bad but its tough to compete when the electric is high and the weed is low. Ecveryone who buys weed makes more than me per oz??? thats fucked up because i produce it. i understand volume is where its at. Ill get a job. Im sure if I sell weed for 100 an lb itll all get sold. at 200 per oz/ i need to be that guy.

This all sounds good for the consumer……

If only quality improved with pricing. Cutting corners on quality is the very real sight.

There’s so much garbage on the market, know a few guys who rented there spots and the paid % workers left it all behind. When a couple dozen boxes are looked as a hassle and not worth moving cause they got paid more weekly, the writing is on the wall.

$900 a litre? Is it tasteless or edible quality? Still paying $1700 for good vape ready oil

That’s on the low side for what I see even (1700 for quality)

Sounds good for the consumer my ass. When people can’t make money they cut corners and the consumers get fed nonsense.

There’s some great products in Oklahoma but the worst of the worst is here too.

The bad shit is what’s flooded the market and forced good producers to sell for low prices and either go out of business or make worse margins than the restaurant biz.

Processors make less, consumers are inundated w shit product and turn away from BHO, BHO producers and enthusiasts suffer

Sounds like the response from someone that bias towards the other side.

Taxes and licensing fees add up quick

If they are massive and illegal. Why do they need to cut corners if their expenses aren’t nearly as high as yours.

I get your trying to defend your position but it 100% sounds like it benefits the consumer greatly.

I remember paying nearly 10k a liter in 2017 for something which would cost less than 2k today for even better quality.

Same goes for every aspect of cannabis. As a consumer. The quality over the last 5 years has only increased with extreme price decreases.

Yeah dude, it’s there. It’s been there for months. 92%+, regularly.

I’m not gonna try to get in their minds but when there are multiple illegal busts with what amounts to indentured servitude as the employees…you’re cutting corners.

Cutting corners means these people are spraying heavy w myclo, making distillate, paying for a good test result and flooding the market with 100,000s liters of tainted shit while dropping the floor 10x in two years.

Next time you come out here holler at me I’ll give you a good view of the spectrum of what’s available to patients and you tell me.

This happens in corporate cannabis too. You see what they pay some of their employees at some of these place. It’s the same thing on both side of the lines. Your just being bias towards your view.

Same thing with corporate cannabis. I recall your products getting recalled in the past, those were on the shelf of dispensaries and sold to patients as legal cannabis. It’s all the same. I understand the need for you to protect your position but I still standby the overall quality for the price has been going up for a while and that benefits the customer.

I just disagree the price has reflected the quality quite a bit. I say that as a consumer.

I know I’m buying clean disty under $2000 a liter and it’s the highest %s I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen converted liters for $1200 which are nearly 100% cannabinoids.

I’ve seen 99% thca go for as cheap as $5 gram where shit like that was nearly $200 5 years ago.

I’m gonna disagree greatly from someone that produces no concentrates these days and is only a consumer and a large one.

I’d like to get a sample and see if it passes my tests. I’ve found Oklahoma has a smelly litre problem. Dm me and we can get in touch.

California disty market leads the US.

It doesn’t sell in California unless it’s tasteless and cat 3. We’re definitely leading the pack in quality/price comparison.

I think the cat 3 testing is what really stepped the California disty game up and it seems like the real fire shit is always in socal which all the cheap thca seems to come for NorCal.

Oklahoma will catch up hopefully

Socal has the big processing facilities and norcal gets all the fresh frozen outdoor and greenhouse so you’re 100% correct on that

Well with the upcoming lab testing standardization bill on deck… Oklahoma is looking to be very competitive.

BM vs highly regulated super quality is gonna be the two options. That in between is gonna be rough roads.

Right now that in between has prices liquidation status because so many are also quitting the market and accepting major losses. While others have to compete with a liquidation market.

Now that is what truly is hurting many.

Once the new regulations are in play and the liquidation products aren’t to the compliant standards… retail gonna be open for new product.

BM gonna get the offloaded new non compliant flood. It’ll be a win BM for consumers. It’ll also be a win for consumers with medical cards who demand better regulated product. There is a huge fallout of legitimate mom and pops. They are the major casualty.

We still allow for home grow so I really don’t have much to say. If I don’t like the rules at stores I’ll make my own.
