class=p1State law allows a customer to buy up to an ounce per visit. Freedom Market will charge $25 per gram (there are about 28 grams in an ounce), or $33 with taxes. The price is high compared to illegal street costs in part to a high demand and low supply to start. Kathy Nelson, Freedom Market's co-owner, said she thinks the cost is secondary to the assurances of a regulated pot market. amp;ldquo;Itamp;rsquo;s legal, itamp;rsquo;s not backdoor, thereamp;rsquo;s no risk of being arrested, itamp;rsquo;s all gone through testing and customers arenamp;rsquo;t risking someone putting something else on it,amp;rdquo; she said. amp;ldquo;Itamp;rsquo;s packaged by the producer once itamp;rsquo;s been tested, and the packaging isnamp;rsquo;t opened until itamp;rsquo;s brought home.amp;rdquo; amp;ldquo;We will run out (Tuesday),amp;rdquo; Nelson said of the limited supply in the state. amp;ldquo;It took such a long time for the Liquor Control Board to start licensing (growers and processors). Everything should be smoother by August.amp;rdquo; For now, just smokeable marijuana will be ready for sale, as edibles such as pot-infused brownies or cannabis coffee have another layer of regulation to go through. Many other methods of delivering THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that can be concentrated into tinctures or hashish, havenamp;rsquo;t been approved either. - The Daily News
