flower prices are not outrageous, $60 1/4 would be nice, but I can live with $80. The carts are what is way overpriced and it really is nothing more than a case of gouging, or more generously they are making bank while they can. Reality is nobody "needs" carts but they are convenient and discrete and they know people will pay absurd prices first because they dont know any better and then because they really like the ability to use them anytime/anywhere with no worry, If somebody really just needs "medication" the ground flower or tincture is still within most peoples reach. But ye if want to smoke 1/4-1/2 Z a week, and 1 cart every 1-2 days its going to be expensive for a while at least if you want NY disp. product. Now that its legal Il be making a monthly trip to Maine for carts and probably get my flower here.
