MA Rec shops have been open for a few years and competition has brought the price down. While I agree with your argument, $35 for an 1/8th is not a bad starting price compared to what the starting price of 1/8ths in MA was. Also Woodstock is a lot more touristy compared to western MA. Prices will come down. Also I wouldn’t buy edibles or pre rolls from rec shops, you are much better off making your own.
