In my non-legal mid-western state, quality indoor (I suppose you could call it spectacular) fetches $300/oz all day long.
I think the proper denominator here is kg of product, not number of people.
Yes, the occasional consumers don’t care about 8 or 12$/g, but the heavy consumers do, and they’re the bulk of the market in terms of consumption.
And unlike the legal suppliers, plenty of edibles.
The government is slow to catch up with underground etiquette, I guess. We'll get there eventually. Nobody is selling moonshine at cheap prices around these here parts anymore.
