The only record store I ever go to is actually a front for a weed store lol . Even though weed is legal in Canada the legal stuff is the worst and most expensive.
Give it time. I'm far from a connoisseur, as these days I mostly just partake in edibles 1-2 times per week, but California has some pretty sweet weed prices, at least compared to my college/grad-school days. I saw an ad on a billboard just yesterday for 10 USD Eighths at a pretty reputable shop in my town, and I think I usually pay 35 USD for a pack of 10 2-dose THC:CBD gummies (compared to 40 USD for an eighth of mediocre bud in the early 2000's).
As people get less paranoid about enforcement and local governments ease up on restrictions, the price should come down and the quality should go up (although this probably depends a lot on local government, so who knows, really)
I hope so. Right now I can get 3.5 grams of shatter for the same price as 1 gram at a legal place . And 500 mg of edibles for the same price as 50 mg . It's crazy high prices, mostly only casual users by from a legal source where I live and its been legal since 2018 .
