Marjiuana Monday

Continuing the theme from the previous post....I'll give my own breakdown of the domestic outdoor pot-crop. This is mostly from second hand accounts of course; news articles and the sort, and this time it's strictly East Coast. Take it for what it's worth...

Supply: It's looking like a below average yield, especially in the southeast, due to drought like conditions. Plants have wilted, buds are black and dead looking when they are forced harvested, and total numbers actually appear to be down in some areas. Quick rating...like a 5 or 6 out of 10? I dunno, but I haven't read/heard good things. Strictly a guess though.

Market Impact: On street level the impact is marginal to the buyer, but prices could increase in the coming months as supply becomes limited. Quality outdoor buds shouldn't be impossible to find, but it's probably a bit tougher than usual. Low-quality marijuana dealt on the lowest level of the food chain will most likely see a slight increase over the coming months, but the biggest impact will likely be a slight increase in the price of indoor bud, which for some folks is all they deal in. I'm thinking mostly the beaster market, not high quality indoor bud. That particular market is usually in flux, as quality is at a premium and buyers are willing to pay for it, meaning that the impact from a poor outdoor crop won't be noticeable for many buyers.
