I'd say that's kind of expected in an industry that's created essentially out of nothing. It was a weed rush, some are winners, but many are losers. Sure there's regulatory burden, but that was known going into it.

I feel like weed shops will soon go the way of the many frozen yogurt shops of a decade ago.

I find the thing about the yogurt shops a little ironic, considering a decade ago, TCBY was the only frozen yogurt place I had ever heard of and now in my area, there are still those and 3 other chains of frozen yogurt stores that have made it so there are 3 more yogurt stores than weed dispensaries in town. lol

Especially given the lack of ways to really differentiate your product, it was bound to become increasingly commodified and end up with a few producers who manage to operate efficiently and the rest going under.

Honestly I’d kinda be glad if, when I go to the store, I’m not met with 65 completely identical options and have to explain to the pot sommelier that I just would like some pot please, and that the 16 creative adjectives that have been affixed to the front of the word “preroll” are largely inconsequential to me.
