We have so many new NYS licensed dispensaries that opened this year around Buffalo, NY, that I don't see how they can all survive. I visit some of them just to look. The last one I went to, King of Budz, is pretty fancy. The lady showed me that each strain is available as bud, hash, oil, tincture, BHO, etc. Ounces of bud from $25 to $190. I found out about them a couple of months ago when a bi-plane flew over towing a "King of Budz" banner, and then I got a 4-page color flyer in my mailbox advertising the grand opening. Black market dispos are still thriving too, and there are 2 Indian reservations within 40 minutes drive, each with many dispos licensed by the Seneca Nation.
A couple years after we legalized there was a glut.

The only sales I saw were in the "legacy market" because they had competition and surplus while the licenced producers couldn't afford to reduce prices.

Many small artisanal growers got cheated out of their jobs because regulations and fees were out of reach and it was so costly to maintain licences they'd be bankrupt.

It would make more sense to treat it as any other agricultural or herbal product. I can imagine going to a farmers market and seeing a selection of fresh and dried herb, an *ahem* interesting assortment of teas, cookies and brownies etc.

Or smaller shops like microbreweries but for weed where you can consume with friends and get some to go...

Ok. Ill get off of my soapbox now.
