Ok that's exactly what I'm referring to. So why do you need the netting?

Its fucked everywhere. Just get used to it for awhile until they open more stores. Either that or the black market will pick up the slack...

Point was to give you a visual aid about your question.
You're in NM? I think I saw there's a bill in the works there.

I was one of those 77k customers.
Went with one of my oldest and best friends. In fact, we both got high for the first time together way back in the 90s.
Our time was 3 hours from getting into the back of the line, to walking out the door.
It was a bit breezy but it was a 40º day in Illinois in January.
The time passed quickly. Cool stoner people in line to chat with.

That's only $42 average spent per person. That sounds low.

Interesting that it's cash only.

Does that number include tax?

Not enough to get an ant high.

Not sure if tax is included in that post, but it's taxed at 10% or 20% depending on THC (I believe) levels.

Not sure, just the numbers being reported.

Nearly $3.2M in Legal Cannabis Sold in Illinois on First Day, State Says

More than 77,000 transactions netted nearly $3.2 million in marijuana product sales on the first day of legal cannabis in Illinois, the state announced Thursday. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation reported 77,128 transactions took place at cannabis dispensaries...

Either way, if that number can be averaged per day eventually, then it ends up being a 1.2 billion industry a year just in the state of Illinois

That is because it is still federally illegal and the banks won't touch the money. They have to store the money in warehouses.

Sounds like a movie plot.

I wonder what Nicholas Cage is up to.

Doing a remake of Dan McNeil's fav movie.

Fortunately, that should be changing soon. Also, I’ve used my CC at dispensaries in other states before. So, there’s ways to do it already

The taxes really that bad? I have a shop near me and was going to go pick some stuff up

 

[ytsejam]

It's 10% on anything under 35% THC, 25% on anything over 35%, and 20% on edibles.
That's also on top of state and local sales taxes
I paid 17% tax on the herb I bought.
