Only a relatively small percentage of users can afford top-shelf brands.

A lot of people can't afford groceries, gas, rent or cigarettes, yet many of them still buy heroin, fentanyl-laced pills and weed.

For those folks needing a break from reality, generic or black market will have to do - no top-shelf pre-rolls for them.

I don't know if any growers are exclusively planting premium clones, but I doubt it. They may bring wider margins, but affordable smoke is still the butter they need on their fiscal toast.

Even if half of their revenue were to come from 25% premium plants in their harvest, they still need to sell the other 75% somewhere.

If they were to eschew growing budget weed and only grow an equivalent amount of premium weed, they may find find it impossible to sell that much $1000+ per pound product and be forced to slash prices anyway.

If success was as easy as only planting the most expensive strains, ALL growers would be doing it.

That'd be like car manufacturers stopping production of lower-margin models and only catering to luxury-model clientele. Margins may be greater, but they'd have to sell a lot more luxury vehicles to a limited number of buyers.


California was drowning in cannabis last year with supply far exceeding demand.

I never heard there was a shortage of top-shelf weed that caused its price to triple.

Which leads me to conclude that there's plenty of premium weed currently available and as more growers produce more premium cannabis, wholesale prices for premium weed will fall too - supply and demand.
