The cannabis consumers I know in Oregon might just take that headline as a challenge.
It's SOOO cheap, and you get so much free product (every shop is desperately trying to build loyalty through superior service and bribes).

If I smoked weed, it'd be heaven.

How cheap is CHEAP and what is the quality? Genuinely curious.
My "smoking buddy" from college has been in Portland for about 5 years now and the deals he's told me about since legalization are just ridiculous. $80/oz for first-time customers. Regular deals at $5/g or $10 for an eighth. It was even crazier deals before the state started collecting tax on it.

For comparison, in the Midwest USA an ounce can be had for ~$250 and smaller quantities are typically between $10-$20/g, depending on quality.

Quality is on par with what's available on the street in the Midwest which, from my understanding, is generally being exported from Colorado and California.

QZ: Oregon has more legal cannabis than they can consume in six years.

OREGON: Challenge accepted.

How else will they supply the non-legalized states?
My expectation from this is to see Oregon now turn its attention to other states and convince them to go legal so it can offload its product and, if it moves fast, establish dominance in those other states. Is this happening?
They can't export it until federal law changes.

I mean, the world had three times the oil reserves required to hit 2C back in 2012, and that didn't stop the permian basin boom...
