Well, what’s the going rate for a kilo of CBD? ~$500? For simplicity sake, assume 100% conversion and ignoring the cost of the other reagents…$500 for a kilo of synthetic d9. Versus how much for a kilo of plant derived d9? Honestly don’t even know what that goes for (~$5k?).
Liter of raw D9 is $2000-4000 depending. I just personally don’t see the long term satisfaction of converting hemp to D9, quality over quantity is my motto, and to me it doesn’t make sense as someone will eventually catch on that the company/manufacturer is using bottom barrel ingredients to make more bottom barrel product, for cheap, then resold at 10x value. Which will ruin a brand for life compared to someone doing it properly and cleanly. In short, the point of converting CBD → D9 just isn’t viable long term business wise. People would and will catch on and call the manufacturer out for corner cutting, you’d be making more money back off clean long term business then short term corner cutting with hemp. I just don’t understand why people choose the latter.
That’s because half of it isn’t d9 anymore. Which kinda killed the prices for the stuff that really was because at the end of the day most buyers are just influenced by price and a half price L… questionable or not… will always find a home.
No as long as it s not legal in at least 1/2 the USA price will stay around 2000 minimum
But we will have generations that don t know what a real cannabis derived cart will taste like
There is not enough terps
That is exactly what’s happening. The generation below me and the one I am in are careless. They don’t care if they smoke a boof cart with synthetic terpenes or D8 bullshit or crappy D9 liters. They all see one thing: packaging/branding.
What did I do in a former life that was so terrible that I am subjected to halfwits attempting to explain how they don’t care about lab reports and long words, and just want the BM simpsons? Mea culpa
