In this episode of the Green County Podcast, Mike and Mason discuss the impact of Oklahoma’s low cannabis prices on the Missouri market. With significantly lower prices and easier access, Oklahoma dispensaries are luring Missouri consumers across the border.
Key Takeaways:
- Significant Price Differences: Oklahoma offers significantly lower prices, especially for concentrates. A quarter of dabs can cost seven times less in Oklahoma compared to Missouri.
- License Availability: Oklahoma has a much larger number of licenses, leading to increased competition and lower prices. Missouri’s more restrictive licensing has limited competition and kept prices higher.
- Recreational Market Impact: The introduction of the recreational market in Missouri was expected to lower prices, but this hasn’t been as significant as anticipated.
- Consumer Behavior: Convenience plays a significant role. Many Missouri consumers are willing to pay higher prices for the convenience of local dispensaries.
The Clone Conundrum
Mike shares his first experience with growing clones, highlighting the challenges of adapting to a new environment and nutrient requirements. He encountered issues with nutrient deficiencies and had to adjust his growing techniques accordingly.
A Tasty Treat (and a Video Game Digression)
Mason teases a new cannabis-infused beverage he created, leading to a lively discussion about video games, particularly the challenging but rewarding game “Wu Kong Journey to the West.” The conversation concludes with a promise to delve deeper into video games in a future episode.
Overall:
This episode provides valuable insights into the current state of the Missouri cannabis market and the challenges faced by local businesses. It also offers a glimpse into the world of cannabis cultivation, including the intricacies of growing clones.
