yeah it figures, they tax the shit out of it and there are tons of restrictions on how to sell it. prices have gone up since legalization in the shops ive been to. most places don't even weigh it out in front of you anymore, they'll have a pre-packaged plastic bottle that goes into another plastic child-lock container that is sealed, so that the cops will know if you dare to open it before you get home. i seriously can't overstate the plastic waste, this quote is from colorado but i guarantee our statistics will crush the shit out of theirs
Now though, child-resistant regulations for marijuana products have led to staggering innovation in packaging design. Indeed, it has become impossibly difficult even for some adult stoners to get their stash open. And although innovation has kept up with the pace of demand, it too much conforms to the bigger is better American ideal. Marijuana packaging is heinously large and mushrooming out of control.
Consider that the standard opaque, plastic container a quarter of flower (7 grams) comes in weighs almost 29 grams, making it four times larger by weight than the content it holds. A standard container for half-eighths of flower (1.75 grams) weighs a whopping 10.10 grams, six times as much as the content it holds.
If that weren’t bad enough, the packaging for a single gram of concentrate can weigh as much as 30 times as the product. And it isn’t biodegradable in the short-term.
this is the type of shit places will give you for an eighth or even a gram of weed
