Now, some have halted recreational sales amid product shortages."
*Taxes on weed in San Diego went from 30% to 50% on Jan. 1st. Sales are down here...gee, I wonder if the state and city will realize why.

there are very good $100/oz on the street in Michigan. Good deals in shops in the bigger cities.
