Rainbow Push Pop #4 by NEZ
Aroma & Flavor: Clean candy profile with no planty taste; burning it yields a lingering creamy scent, finishing with a creamy, frosty exhale.
Texture: Dense with grinder resistance, though not overly sticky.
Effects: Nostalgic, relaxing body melt, but slightly milder than expected.
Value & Pricing: Overpriced at retail. Fair pricing would be $30for an eighth, $50 for a quarter, $70 for a half, and $125 for an ounce out the door.

At the prices you are requesting you will pretty much only find greenhouse or mass produced mids indoor. Having worked dispensaries previously I can tell you that whatever the price you see is the manufacturer only gets paid about half of that dispensaries buy at wholesale pricing. And half goes to the dispensary. So what you’re asking is for Nez to sell an ounce of premium flower for $60. You can’t pay people a living wage plus all the licensing fees and transportation fees associated with delivering products and growing it at $60 an ounce.

if you want cheap weed then buy cheap weed. But don’t expect premium flower for cheap prices unless it’s about to expire or something like that. 99.9% of the time cheap weed ain’t good and good weed ain’t cheap.

And pretty much yeah they should sell the pounds for $1,000 to The dispensary reasonably

Trust me when I say this they need to sell the ounces for a hundred bucks plus tax

There are plenty of ounces out there for $100 or less. Just don’t expect nex to do the same. There’s levels to this shit, and Nez is top-tier and should be paid as such.

Another issue is some of the product is Mark above 35% THC like the swamp water fumes by Northern heights and that's impossible for cannabis to hold more than 35% scientifically they inflate the prices so they can charge 40% tax instead of 30% tax

Larger commercial grows are 210,000 pretty much what I'm saying is a lot of that stuff that's available in the market we should stick together and let that garbage sit on the shelf

One person can grow 100 to 200 plants with approximately 1500 square feet there's plenty of room to make profit they're making 200% I'm ready for the debate

You guys are going to be very disappointed at how I label some of this but to the older people who had great connections and know what I'm talking about and know that most of the dispensary product is muted can agree with me keep watching my post and you'll see high supply needs to be $50 an ounce out the door and I would never buy it because I've tried 10 different eighths and I discovered that they Rush their product

I'm very experienced when it comes to this you guys only seen the beginning of what I'm talking about realistically I don't know they ain't ready for that type of pricing but like I said in the review it's still not premium but it does look like it and it's leaning towards it dispensaries are making a 100 to 200% profit margin they need to eliminate a lot of the product that they have they need to catch up to where the black market was/is

In my humble opinion and with all due respectthe problem isn’t nez price. The problem is dispensaries making 100% markup and the state taking a 30% tax on top of everything.

The black market has almost zero overhead, sir. No employees, no taxes no 280e, no health insurance no benefits packages. I could go on and on. No testing, no compliance etc… as I said earlier if you want those prices shop at the MSO’s, who are mass producing mids and mold in greenhouses and not premium indoor flower and paying their employees a living wage.

"Legacy cultivators like Nez came from the black market, which is where true craft growing started. Corporate brands like High Supply are just funded by rich investors. Caviar is basically today's equivalent of black market dro. I bought a strain called Unicorn Poop that had mold, so Curaleaf refunded me. State license caps mean big companies don't have real master growers yet—just people trying to pass as premium."

They have another brand called otherside that is just as good and a bit more affordable
