Title is misleading in my opinion. It's a combination of problems - too much pot that spoils before sellers can move it, cities banning dispensaries and forcing people to buy black market again, the rise in THC products derived from hemp, and high taxes. I also think a lot of people tried marijuana when it was more accessible and have now cooled off and use it sparingly.

The high taxes is whatever to me, buying weed in other states is much, much more expensive than WA in my experience.

I'd be real curious to see the numbers compared between our states on this! I should do some digging
