    My states liquor stores are all state run, dispensaries are private. For every liquor store there’s probably at least 3 or 4 dispensaries. It’s crazy how many more places there are to buy weed than liquor here and I’m all for it lol

      Really? How useful, really, is having so many of them? I feel like there are so many more kinds of storefront that could use that space and serve a better spectrum of the community. The weed shops I’ve been in have all had very little inventory for the size of the space they’re in.

        Weed shops around me usually have all sorts of inventory. Ounces range from 60 for basically shake and popcorn nugs to over 300 for “designer” strains! I usually buy ounces between 100 and 120$ and their pretty gas testing 20-27 % depending on strain. Only usefulness to so many storefronts for me is that I have lots of choice and price competition. I think part of why there’s so many pot shops around me is in the winter we see a huge influx of tourists, so I think most of their business comes from out of staters.
