Tested Child Resistant Exit Bags - Made To Order - Low Minimums - Choose Your Color - Choose Your Size Colorado The Average Market Rate (AMR) for a pound of whole- sale marijuana in Colorado’s recreational market hit an all-time low, pushed down by more cultivation facilities, more efficient growers and additional outdoor grow operations. Used by the state to levy excise taxes, the AMR represents the average price of retail marijuana sold or transferred from cultivators to retailers and infused product manufacturers. The latest calculations – based on sales from Nov. 1, 2016, through April 30, 2017 – puts the AMR at $1,298 per pound, down 12% from January 2017 and 35% from its peak in January 2015. Delaware The state’s four medical marijuana dispensaries could see an uptick in business thanks to a change in state law that makes it easier for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder to obtain MMJ. Under the new law, PTSD patients can get a recommendation for medical cannabis from any licensed physician. Previously, PTSD patients had to receive a recommendation from a licensed psy- chiatrist in the state to get a medical cannabis card.
