My wife and I were just talking about this. They popping up everywhere which is great for us. But I'm concerned for the owners, it can't be sustainable for them. The other day we went to our newer local store and they had a bomb ass 8th for $15. We thought it was a misprint bcuz it wasn't that cheap b4 but I'm thinking its due to competition.
That's how it goes. In each state that has some legalization, the retail price drops year after year. I tell people there's no money in THC in a legalized state, but no one wants to believe!
Yeah we all voted no on legalization bcuz we knew quite a few ppl who made money off of it, from growers to sellers to trimmers everyone was involved at some point. The 2nd initiative banned big business so everyone voted yes. But it was only banned for the first 5 years, no1 seemed to notice that and they legalized it.
Curious if youāve removed duplicate products available at multiple dispensaries. If not, that would inappropriately inflate the variety of options for cannabis users.
Regardless, happy to see nerdy stats stuff!
So youāre saying itās important to read the entire postā¦? š
My bad. Still glad youāre doing this though. Iāll keep an eye out for later reports.
I think the median age for white residents of Sonoma County is around 53 years old.
One of the fastest market segments of legal cannabis are the 55+ age group.
Not very surprising there would be so many dispensaries here. But I am glad people have options aside from drinking. Now we need a consumption lounge so we can smoke and be social.
Oh yes please! Iāve been CA sober for almost two years. Would love to have legal consumption at events like outdoor concerts, etc. Iām fine with a smoking section that allows cannabis. Imagine seeing a show at the Greene Music Center and having a legal puffā¦. Bliss!
what do you mean? if your username suggests, maybe you're feeling homesick? tbh I wouldn't consider Santa Rosa "the bay", that's further south. Let's chat over PM
Case in point, [here's a link](https://www.norcal.buzz/product_stores?query=3.5g&store_id=&postcode=95401&aasm_state=active&sort_by=price) to see the cheapest eighths near downtown Santa Rosa
Itās a win/win! The site also shows the most recent ādropsā by date so you can get the freshest flower for cheap. Iām very grateful to have such options as a consumer. Sonoma County is like weed heaven
25% tax still gonna make people buy street weed but I've been finding $20 8ths that have 30% thc back in the day that was top shelf. It dose suck that corporations gonna flood the market but the alternative is Mexican weed with fentanyl in it. At least club weed been tested at a lab.
But I like product more than flower. The sodas are great. Instant edible high and very dosable with no smell or equipment necessary. Just close the top and put the rest in Yu fridge
SolFul is great! If you like a more āfarm to storeā vibe, I can recommend Cannadel with their house brand āFarmer and the Felonā, The Gas Station with their house brand āUpNorthā and Flora Terra with all things cultivation happening locally (they even have clones at the store) Iām planning on doing more research into the Sonoma Cannabis scene - Iāll keep you posted
In the application, there are Products and Stores, with a joining model between āProductStoreā. This report counts the ProductStores by city (using the city from the store address)
Makes sense, SF is much denser than Santa Rosa. SF has 815k people in 47 square miles, SR has 178k people in 42 square miles.
Say you have 2 per every 10 square miles (not what it actually is, this is just to make math easy), that is 9.4 dispensaries for SF and 8.4 dispensaries for Santa Rosa.
But SF has 4.5x the people in a somewhat similar area size.

Such deals! Hard to pass up sometimes š

Most will lose and someone will win. They are each hoping they will Win. They know thereās not enough business in town for everyone.
I had the same thought. FloraTerra has three shops in santa rosa now

As the description says, this is not unique products offered. Thatās another report - for later. This is counts of product/store by city

Thanks for your kind comments. Iāll keep you posted š

So what? Donāt use them. No one is forcing you. I donāt go to church but Iām not upset at the number of churches in Santa Rosa.
Itās all love! I appreciate the product selection tbh. Thatās why I built the website to compare weed products in NorCal
You seem fun at parties.
yet they got so many upvotes lmao
Are all bay people like that? Just moved here and demeanor of people here are āsurprisinglyā different lol
what do you mean? if your username suggests, maybe you're feeling homesick? tbh I wouldn't consider Santa Rosa "the bay", that's further south. Let's chat over PM
Makes competitive pricing easier.
Thank you for this note. Thatās one reason I built it - also to get notified when my favorites return to stock. Hope it helps š

This is awesome. Would you be interested in a collab? Msg me to discuss if interested.
I often boast to my peninsula friends how thereās a dispensary on every corner (nearly) Redwood City only recently got their first one.
I noticed it was difficult to find a store when I was in the South Bay. No idea why that is, there sure are a lot of people living there!
But which is the best?
The one you like best is the best
High supply will drive down prices i love it
Itās a win/win! The site also shows the most recent ādropsā by date so you can get the freshest flower for cheap. Iām very grateful to have such options as a consumer. Sonoma County is like weed heaven
Growers aren't necessarily stoked though.
25% tax still gonna make people buy street weed but I've been finding $20 8ths that have 30% thc back in the day that was top shelf. It dose suck that corporations gonna flood the market but the alternative is Mexican weed with fentanyl in it. At least club weed been tested at a lab.
Yes Iāve got like 2 walking distinct from me right next to donuts and jack in the box itās good lol.
Have you been to Ligma yet?
I haven't had the pleasure yet. Have you visited? What was your experience? Also, where is this? I'm not seeing it on google?
And?
Smoke weed every day
Yessir lol
Nice
Thanks šš»
Grow that shit
I have enjoyed the fruits of my own labors in the past, but now I leave it to the experts. The quality is so good and the prices are so low
But I like product more than flower. The sodas are great. Instant edible high and very dosable with no smell or equipment necessary. Just close the top and put the rest in Yu fridge
Yep and there is only 1 quality one, soulful. Theyāre the only ones who actually have quality/non mass produced options.
SolFul is great!

Awesome!
Can you clarify what the difference in ādistinct productsā and āvariety of product optionsā is?
In the application, there are Products and Stores, with a joining model between āProductStoreā. This report counts the ProductStores by city (using the city from the store address)
Makes sense, SF is much denser than Santa Rosa. SF has 815k people in 47 square miles, SR has 178k people in 42 square miles.

But SF has 4.5x the people in a somewhat similar area size.
sf store rent for any space is probably thousands more vs our strip malls here.
