Now, some have halted recreational sales amid product shortages."
*Taxes on weed in San Diego went from 30% to 50% on Jan. 1st. Sales are down here...gee, I wonder if the state and city will realize why.

there are very good $100/oz on the street in Michigan. Good deals in shops in the bigger cities.
More rural growers underground.

This whole business is probably going to take a while to 'shake out' to a smooth running process. I know that in Michigan a part of the problem is the slow licensing of grow businesses.
I'm thinking about converting my '3 season' room to a grow room.
