Price reflects quality I have found. I don't see a single trichome on those buds so that is probably a fair price for that stuff.
I have said it before and will say it again, premium craft-grown weed costs more because it is looks better, tastes better, smokes better and is normally much stronger with better effects than bush weed.
To achieve all of that takes skill, effort and time, which most local growers don't have or won't commit to.
It is then up to the consumer to decide whether they pay for that superior product or not.
Premium weed is extremely difficult to grow properly, which is why it commands a higher price.
Also, I will add that most commercial growers will not grow the best strains but only those with the most yield, which is why you see so much of the same stuff being sold everywhere. Quantity over quality.
If you want really good weed you have to look for those places selling premium craft-grown stuff in fairly low quantities.
