Why Your Cannabis is So Goddamn Expensive - (ft. Wes & Pale)

On this episode of It Doesn’t Happen Overnight, I sit down with Wes (@thewestberger) and Pale (@paledawgg), two employees of Coastal Business Distribution, a marijuana distribution center located in San Luis Obispo. They take us through the black market weed days, how the industry has changed since legalization, and most importantly why our marijuana is so goddamn expensive these days.
