Im curious to know how this affects all the grow ops that used to get busted every other week in the fancy neighborhoods.

Drug dealers would rent a massive house, gut the interior and start a grow op.

Will this effectively price them out the market?

I think it just may.

Who wants to buy weed from a dealer if you can quality stuff from the beer store.

never mind the beer store, you can just buy it straight from the government.
dealers are gonna have to either branch out to 'artisanal' stuff, or drop their prices to undercut them.
either way they'll be making far less money for a while

What happened in Colorado when the legal stuff hit the market?

Is there even any demand for illegal weed?

"unregulated" supply is cheaper, no markup for taxes or storefront rent

prices are dropping all over due to increased supply

dealing is merely profitable now, down from ridiculously profitable

Will there come a time when dealing simply can not compete with the legal supply wrt quality and price?
yes, legal sellers will have an advantage when they can sell certified pesticide -free, environmentally friendly product

there is a huge oversupply of legally grown weed in Washington State

prices are 1/3rd what they were pre-legalisation, which hurts both legal and "unregulated" selliers

it's weird, while the Federal laws are still on the books supply can't move to meet demand
