The prices for the products are extreme. With these cartridges coming into town illegally at $35 a piece and at the same quality or higher and also solventless, how do you plan on competing? Asking honestly, I would like to see ny get the tax $.

Hmm seems to be a New York problem as the products in medical facilities in Canada are often subjected to rigorous testing. Perhaps they need to lessen the restriction and allow for products to come in that have been tested from other states. Thank you for the answer.

It is possible that some medical marijuana products are more expensive in New York than in other States. There are two main reasons for this. First, New York State has the most rigorous standards in the country for the manufacturing of medical marijuana products. While lab testing and strict product standards do add to the cost, they help ensure the safety and consistency of each product sold. Many companies in other states may claim their products contains certain amounts of THC and CBD but since few are subjected to the same standards it is impossible to know if these claims are accurate. Furthermore, it is unknown if the product's active ingredients remain consistent on an ongoing basis. Second, companies that operate in larger state-based markets, like California (with more than 700,000 medical marijuana patients) and Colorado (with more than 100,000 patients), can take advantage of economies of scale in production that do not yet exist in NY's small and new market
