Most Expensive 1/8th in AZ at $65:
Right now, this is home to the most expensive 1/8th in Arizona, at $65 for the good flowers. I did a quick survey today of 1/8th prices at storefront dispensaries in Tucson, Phoenix Metro, and Flagstaff, and the price maxes out at $60 for pretty much everyone else. There are a significant number of solid dispensaries selling top-shelf 1/8ths for $50 to $55 regular full-retail price throughout the state (lower prices can be found through special offers, of course). Nearly one-half of Downtown Dispensary's strains at the moment (11 out of 23 strains) are priced at $65 per 1/8th, and a similar pricing structure can be found at Catalina Hills, Downtown Dispensary's sister location in Oro Valley. Aside from Downtown Dispensary and Catalina Hills, one other notable high priced 1/8th that turned up in my research was Monarch in Scottsdale: they currently have two strains at $65 per 1/8th as well.
Although Downtown Dispensary sells good quality medication, their best has not stood out as any better than the competition's top-shelf offerings in my experience. I am hesitant to post negative reviews, and I will probably continue to shop here from time to time. But the 1/8th is my preferred purchase size at the moment, so I probably won't be doing much buying here until the price comes down in line with the rest of the AZ market. Otherwise, nice folks, nice dispensary. 7/11/2014
