I read some articles that included prices, but many of them did not. One mentioned that the prices were artificially inflated right now to try to mitigate the likelihood of running out of product prematurely. Apparently some of the store owners do not have a reliable pipeline of suppliers and a concern over the size of their inventory. That anxiety seems reasonable since they are stepping into the unknown. Once the infrastructure is in place and the novelty wears off I suspect that the prices will plummet.
I'm not a big pot guy. It has been many years since the last time I smoked any. Culturally, I think this is a big event however. Bigger than even most of the stoners out celebrating realize. Even the most conservative estimates would have to agree that this event represents a sentence or two in the history books in the years to come no matter what you think about pot.
i heard long lines and high prices but that's to expected opening day. plus there's stoner logic... $25 for an eighth of shit compared to $70 medical grade.
what should be interesting is what happens 2 or 3 years down the road once all the studies start producing results and/or Colorado is making a killing on this new crop. remember...pot is competing against the pharmaceutical industry so much like the global warming sources consider the angle when you read the "results".
and not to be left out is the new hemp market in that state. i'm betting there's some $$ in that.
