What Happens When A State Grows Way Too Much Weed (HBO)
What Happens When A State Grows Way Too Much Weed (HBO)
When Oregon legalized recreational marijuana, the state decided to make the market as free and accessible as possible. It didn’t cap licenses, or restrict access to people living in state. It also made entry super cheap—growing licenses in Oregon go for as little as $1,000, compared to tens of thousands of dollars just across the border in California.
The hope was to make it as easy as possible for everyone to get in on the new and exciting market. And it worked really well. Too well, in fact.
Fast forward just a few years, and Oregon now has a serious problem on its hands. The roughly 1,100 licensed producers growing weed right now are growing way too much—about twice what the state is actually consuming. And that’s creating all sorts of problems. Unless, of course, you’re a consumer. Then it’s awesome.

Kudos to Cracklady on Telegram they are legit 💃!!!!!!!!!!!!
Free growing is equality you donkeys, these rich kids from Portland and Cali just want to use their rich boy city loans and be the only people making money, vice wants a dictatorship, that’s all
This is the right way. A state or equilibrium for come.
price drop is the sign that the market is correcting itself
Give it to me I’ll consume it
Cracklady on telegram is the best plug for all kinds of pills and marijuana strain I just got my pills delivered 🔥
My country does only 4 plants it works.
This makes total sense now when I buy weed in oregon the harvest date be months ago.
In denver it’s super easy to find extremely top quality weed. In oregon it’s hit or miss, even though its literally everywhere

I live in Oregon and this is absolute bullshit. These guys are 99% in cash and this is just spin to make people think they aren’t profitable so they don’t pay taxes on their "losing" business. People out here laugh and say "I have a hemp farm that has lost money ever since I started it" which in Oregon-ese means "I have an illegal, highly profitable weed farm and a handwritten ledger somewhere under my house with all the cash." Man, civilians are dumb about weed culture. Everyone here in OR knows exactly what’s up.
WTF?????? $422 a LB?????? I been thinking 200 an oz was a good deal 😔
Just be glad you can LEGALLY BUY cannabis. My state is throwing FOLKS in PRISON for a joint.
there is always room for the best. you get out what you put in, that’s why some nugs sell for 400 a pound and some goes for 3000 a pound
These people probably had never anything to do with ending prohibition or have done a day in jail for growing. Just had money to invest in a market that they had nothing to have made
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s what greed gets you in the weed biz.
There is no such thing
i thought competition was a good thing lol
Well what do ppl think will happen when its federally legal?😂😂Ppl better realize u can’t create that much of a monopoly with weed when its so easy to grow and get ya hands on.
I just found a legit plug Both indica and sativa strain bet @cracklady on telegram is the best plug 🔥🔥🔥
Free?😢
You guys wanted weed why complain at least there’s plenty 😂
The free market will react in order to drop the price, let it even out. The state doesn’t have to intervene in the market.
Oregon is having a weed recession
That’s terrible I can’t believe weed went down to a fair price for the consumer
KEEP YOUR CAPITALISM AWAY FROM MY WEED!!!
Grow your own its not about dollars. Free your minds.
Lots of competition is good. It means that only the best survive because they have a better product or better experience. It’s rough at first, but as the market develops it will be much better than a system of state-mandated oligopolies
state official is stoned rofl..
What in the hell is luxury cannabis? All cannabis is good but none of it is luxury. It’s a sacred herbal plant.
How is the donkey video working out
Some people just dont give a damn a grow their own and dont play by the governments rules and the people they deal with are loyal and want this person’s quality of flower. The people who have wealth and power….the took it or earned it. Whose got the balls to make a million dollars then open a business and clean the money up….not me….but someone should right?
Go shop with @cracklady on telegram he is the best he has been helping me with kush for about three months✔️

could of sold me some at $1 a g 🙁
They flood the market, struggling business owners panic and sell, they come in and buy, then things go back to normal and they have an empire to profit on.

It’s 2021 and weed is still cheap here in Oregon 🙌🙌🙌
Oklahoma is at this point in time aswell, supply exceeds demand heavily.
