Damn. I have my medical card here in Florida and I generally pay $20 or less per 8th and can get distillate cartridges for $30 or less. The live rosin/resin carts are where it's at though.
La system is still maturing. I haven't kept up, but think only 2 grow operations were authorized. Additionally, BR only has 1 dispensary for the entire metro area. I recall hearing Fla can now sell from 7-11's.
Until there's more competition the price isn't coming down much. Although, I seem to recall BR has 20$ \ 1/8oz from the MJ poll thread. Back when I smoked, 20$ might get you a 1/4 of unknown quality with uncertain additives. I'd pay double 35 years later for tested and known content.
