    I used to pay $10 a gram for high quality wax buying black market. The cheapest I can find it in my state after legalization is $45 for .8 g mid/low grade wax.

    Legalization has only enshitified Weed. Lower quality, less variety, just as illegal if your traveling or don’t have the proper bag with the official sticker yada yada…

      I hear where you’re coming from, but, as I mentioned, a lot of it currently depends on how things are run locally. If there was a nationalized market after federal legalization, it would be a hell of a lot better. For everyone.

      For example, your prices, wherever you are, or not the same price as I pay here in Florida. Which is only a medical state, not a recreationally legal state. But I pay a fraction of those prices. Or I would, if I was into wax. I prefer flour, but that’s the point. That’s also cheaper here.

      And with a national market, prices everywhere would stabilize. You’d probably pay a lot less, while I might end up paying a tiny bit more. Hyperlocalized economies fluctuate wildly.
