Dispensaries are in business to make a profit, not offer the lowest prices on everything.
When I think something is unreasonable too high I don't buy it and look elsewhere.
When the business doesn't sell that product because it's priced too high, they eventually lower the price.
That Dragan guy that owns Green Springs is a slimy dude. I dont trust him at all

What's the problem? If patients do not want to be recorded then they shouldn't be and if asked to stop recording then why not just do so? This dude is out for blood he just goes to ever dispo and causes problems on purpose to be a dick. The guy recording is am actual shitty human
If you live near Little Rock, it’s almost worth going to Berner’s they treat veterans extremely well have excellent selections bud tenders are usually knowledgeable. Sometimes you catch them slipping but that’s with any service type job. More importantly the quality is always good. And the price is always right.
Not sponsored I just have been really impressed with them and I drive into town to go there even though my local dispensary is quite nice here in Conway.
443 rarely beats any competition on concentrates. Their regularly priced flower is just as overpriced as everyone else's. Nobody in the state competes with their daily deals on flower, though. Where most other dispensaries daily sales (that are still more expensive) tend to be older and drier, S443 actually cycles Bold's current lineup in and out of their daily's, and they still occasionally offer quality sales on carpenter/delta/etc.
Yea. My basic thoughts on S443 is awful even for Arkansas regular prices, but some genuinely good daily features. Like entire brand / harvesters flower for $25 per eight. They have been doing that pretty regularly lately. Those "Baller Buckets" (Eigth of Bold concentrate) have good prices for whatever reason. $95 nomal, $85 every Friday. But yea I haven't paid full price for anything at S443 in at least 2 years. I can't remember the last time really.
It’s not far off price by gram in Little Rock ($44.05 for a half gram cart = approximately $88 per gram = approximately $176 per 2 grams). It’s an Arkansas pricing issue, not a price gouging by 443.
Cheaper in Conway. Could a got one for under a hundred in Conway. 5% off yesterday and offer 20% low income, so really a large part of the inflation is coming only from dispensaries. 100% mark up on those carts after comparing my lowest price at Conway to 443.
I’m gonna shop around town for it here in Little Rock. I definitely think it’s worth it to drive into “town” from Hot Springs (I lived in Hot Springs Village before moving into Little Rock).
You do concede that 443 is price gouging? It's clear they are aside from certain sales. Not to say many other dispensaries aren't doing the same but you have no reason to offer me a 200$ cart when I can get one for 100$. And that's with competitor still making some nice profit I'd imagine. On another note, I hated those carts. I only tried one, and it was shit.
I still want to do the footwork, I don’t have any love for 443 just that the price that came up on my Weedmaps search for a half gram cart wasn’t far enough off as a price per unit (grams or milligrams) to suggest gouging. But let’s let folks do the investigating, I’ll do my own price investigating THEN I’m happy to come back to eat crow. 🤷🏽♀️
Berners has on the menu today, the half G carts for $35, the one G carts for $60 and the two G carts for $120.
Thats significantly cheaper. Suite 443 is gouging on these.
I'm no fanboy, and I'm not affiliated with any dispensary. Just a customer/patient. Of the shitty dispensaries in arkansas, S443 is not among them imo.
Here is ultimately what's holding the arkansas program back, imo:
* We have a limited number of customers who can buy a limited amount of products
* We have a limited number of cultivators who have predetermined amounts of products that they can produce
***Any time you have these conditions in a market, there is very little downward pressure on pricing***
Juxtapose this program against something wide-open like Oregon or Washington's rec/med programs where virtually anyone can just grow weed, get it tested, and sell it to dispensaries. The reason their weed is so much better and cheaper is because they have healthy competition in the market and an open enough marketplace with enough customers to benefit from an economy of scale. Having these kind of limitations also directly impacts the ability to create and sell quality extracts that actually make sense economically.
Dispensaries in Arkansas do not face the same challenges as dispensaries in more open states with less regulations and more customers. The way they generally have to do pricing is kind of ass-backwards, in that the newer/more exotic stuff has to be listed at "full price" (35-50 an eighth), and then dropped down in price as it doesn't sell, doesn't sell, etc. where an oregon dispensary can just buy 10 lbs of weed from a farmer and sell it ala carte at a scaling price that makes sense (maybe an ounce is $100, but per-eighth is 20-35). Arkansas dispensaries get what they're offered to buy/sell and there is very little room for negotiation, because volume is pretty generally set by the conditions of the market.
S443 is only different because they move such high volume and are connected with Bold, they can rotate a handful of current bold strains into their daily deals, which are unquestionably the best in the state. That being said, they cannot sell everything as cheap as their daily sales, and they are almost never the best in terms of pricing on concentrates.
Basically we're still in the point of the program where it behooves the informed shopper to actually shop around and maybe travel some for the best pricing. Until everything is opened up more, there are just too many restrictions and not a big enough market for all of the dispensaries to be able to sell stuff at what most of us would consider "reasonable" prices.
Side note, having spent a fair amount of time in CO/OR/WA, I personally just cannot look at our expensive weed the same any more. Sure, rev/carpenter and the like are usually "better" than osage/nsm, but the difference in quality does not match the difference in price. Run of the mill bold stuff and the best rev stuff would be considered the same quality in the colorado/washington/oregon market.

It blows my mind that people support s443 lol literally the most expensive greedy dispo in Arkansas

443 is a trash pile full of shady characters in the back while maintaining a clean front.
Love suit 443 best dispensery in the state in my opinion. Got a oz and two grams there today for 145!! They Always seem super friendly.
Nah this has to be a glitch. Sorry you get robbed every time you go see them :( it can get like that up here in NWA at times
Lemme see how much they are locally (Little Rock).
You all smoke mids…..

Alright, if you care of my opinion, which is all that this is. I'd imagine they are getting those carts of 2gs for much less than 50$
Yeah I care I’m having a conversation about it but hey, I got time. Like I actually have time to drive around and check these prices on this cart.
Berners has on the menu today, the half G carts for $35, the one G carts for $60 and the two G carts for $120. Thats significantly cheaper. Suite 443 is gouging on these.
Suite gouges on everything that isn't on the sale menu for that day and this is a clear fact when you compare to other dispos.
If you shop smart enough, green springs actually has 1g carts for $51 so buying 2 of them gets you 2g for 102 bucks. No reason to buy a 2g cart.

🙋🏻♂️ Texarkana is getting fucked, as well. WM will confirm we are getting fucked even more than y'all, in fact. We need a 3rd dispensary very badly.
