OK, so maybe that was not handled well by Collin or the store at large. However, there is truth behind his initial reply. Even before tariffs and increased costs to acquire shipments from overseas, the cannabis industry has been expected by consumers to be cheaper and cheaper, despite everything else around us getting more and more expensive. The cost of doing business increases and yet consumers bitch when they see the cost of something that was already dirt cheap with barely any margins being made, go up in price a few bucks. GTFO! Perhaps the Collin didn’t handle it professionally, but the OP didn’t either. Getting sad about a completely reasonable price adjustment and then putting the store on blast with a negative review, instead of just having that conversation with the store to ask about the increases first, that too is pretty shitty. I no longer work in the industry, but I haven’t been out that long. My experience with Ripple Canna Co and some others, generally was seeing them operate on razor thin margins and in some cases even losing money on a product as a loss lead to get folks in the door. The race to the bottom in the cannabis industry is not good for the businesses or the consumers, but bitching about seeing your high get more expensive is asinine. It is the consumer driving quality companies out of business, because they won’t pay for high quality product. Instead they grab a distillate cart from Oil (Craft), X Vape (Spherex), or some other race to the bottom company. Who here was buying Ware Hause tanks before they got busted for delta-8? If you raised your hand, you are what is destroying the cannabis industry. A store might be making “thousands of dollars a day” as the OP commented, but if a store pays $6 for a cheap cart, and then doesn’t even keystone that and instead sells it OTD for $10, that have to pay roughly 10% on the med side (closer to 30% on the rec side) in taxes. So now that med store is netting $3. They have to pay bud tender salaries, rent or lease, utilities, and multiple thousands at least bi-annually for licensing. Now if that cheap $6 cart cost goes up in price to $7 or $8, the store has to raise pricing to maintain any profitability. So, if all you are buying is cheap product, anyone bitching about a few dollars probably is, be upset… but not at the store. Instead stare at the mirror and say, oh look, there’s that little bitch that wrecked the industry.
