She says sales are down from last year because of rising product costs caused by the expensive compliance process, and that pot users are increasingly looking to the black market for their needs. “W\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">e’re losing consumers every day in California to those unlicensed shops because they are beating us on price by as much as 50 percent,” Knoblich Palmer says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677800\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11677800\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Eliot Dobris poses at The Apothecarium store in The Castro, San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/eliot-dobris-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eliot Dobris poses at The Apothecarium store in The Castro, San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Compliance is indeed an expensive business. Not only does The Apothecarium have \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a full-time compliance employee, but Dobris also says his company will be temporarily out of stock of around 50 percent of its products starting on July 1 as manufacturers scramble to meet the state’s requirements. “Some products will only be unavailable for a few days,” Dobris says. “For others, it may be a month or more.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Dobris says his company welcomes the new regulations. “\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are really looking forward to enforcement because there are still a lot of gray market delivery services that are competing with us without having to spend all this money on compliance,” Dobris says. “So we’re actually really excited about compliance enforcement because we think we’re going to do very well\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even though prices for pot products are likely to rise, Dobris says they will be safer. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Customers will be able to know that anything they purchase after July 1 has been extensively tested for mold, for heavy metals and for pesticides. So that’s one of the real benefits of this tightening of regulations.”\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
