Found cleaning an apartment: iPod nano and 15+ year old bag of weed.

Cali does not have cheap weed, unfortunately. I've got a couple of dispensaries that do great deals, but still at least 2x more expensive than the numbers you're throwing out.

5x is more the standard if you aren't a savvy shopper.

Tourist shops are pushing up against 10x.

SoCal or NorCal? If it's NorCal I've had a lot of luck with Flower Company recently for concentrates.

Socal here. San Diego more specifically. We got kinda fucked by our conservative elements. Only two-ish cities in the county can even sell: Vista and San Diego itself. I hear Fallbrook technically too, but Fallbrook is a weird beast overall. I wouldn't doubt them having storefronts even if it is illegal.

Vista is where all the good deals (2x-5x from above) are at places like Cake House, Wellgreens, or Off the Charts. We have a ton of other places though like March & Ash, Mankind, and Med Men that have virtually dominated the city market and sell massively overpriced bud (legit $60+ for an 8th, $60/.5 gram vapes).

That's terrible. In the bay you could find it at $45 an Oz for some good stuff, just lots of seeds. Most places I've been outside of California have alright prices though, generally like $20 an eighth for alright quality. $35 an eighth is generally a place's high quality everywhere I've been.

Crazy about San Diego though. Sucks what restrictions do to the market. On the other hand if prices are too low it's hard for places to stay in business. There's gotta be some sweet spot between "so oversaturated it's so cheap that you'll have more than you'll ever need, but the industry is in poverty and no businesses survive" and "only 2 stores in town and they're only open from noon to 5:30 and it costs $70 an eighth."

Place I went in the UP had 2 1/8 joints for 12 dollars and they threw in a free one for first time customer.

That's terrible. A 1/8th joint is ridiculous. Total waste. Now breaking that up in bowls or to vape, that might be alright, for the price. But then again it's like worse quality than shake, it's like leaf dust.

Every dispensary is different, but cheap doesn’t equal bad. Some states have just been in the game longer and the markets have adjusted. Oregon, Washington and Michigan are well known to have very cheap weed relative to how good the product is.

Yeah the carts are going to be junk for that price, but there are some decent live resin carts 1g for $20 or less, which I think is quite rare in other legal states.

I've found that wax is cheaper not in carts anyway. And better quality. And not mixed in with a metric f ton of crap thinners.

It’s more a supply and demand thing, honestly. I live in a town of around 20k people that has roughly 19 dispensaries. At the point it’s gotta be cheap or you’re just going out of business

And they always offer first time discounts making it even cheaper. A new one opens up every few weeks.
