On the first day of legal cannabis sales here, many customers took to social media to decry what they saw as prices higher in Connecticut than those for comparable products in Massachusetts, among other states.
“Finally, now I can spend $35 on a pre-roll that won’t even get you high,” one user said, commenting on an Instagram post by Gov. Ned Lamont.
“But the prices right now are … blowing my mind. Absolutely blowing my mind,” another user said on Reddit.
Kevin Cranford, founder and owner of Cannacticut, which he described as “a cannabis lifestyle brand celebrating the unique cannabis stylings of Connecticut,” said he heard from many friends and followers about what they felt were high prices on the first day of legal sales.
The perception that prices were higher may have contributed to a muted first day of sales. The Department of Consumer Protection said the first day of sales resulted in $359,130 in revenue for the seven recreational dispensaries that were open.
