The Washington State Liquor Control Board announced today, April 20, that the average selling price for a gram of marijuana is $12. Which is “proof” they are doing a good job.<\/p>\n
The average price of marijuana in Washington state is not $12, it’s more like $20 if you are frugal, $25 if normal. Good deals are available, though.<\/p>\n
The LCB is no doubt using a most fascinating arithmetic model on their raw data to get to this number. My guess is that they take just the one-ounce sales (but few people buy at the maximum amount) to estimate the 1 gram price. So if I wanted to know how much a few pounds would cost me as I went to Nebraska to sell it, I’d use the LCB number to estimate my budget.<\/p>\n
Of course, even at the LCB estimate, it would be an idiot that paid that much to take weed to Nebraska, or anywhere.<\/p>\n
It’s kinda sad to see the WSLCB make such a stupid error. They will be discovered in a few days, confidence will fall off, and then the spiral down starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
