LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Six months after California made recreational marijuana use legal, the so-called “Weed Apocalypse” arrives this weekend, as tight state regulations going into effect on Sunday have dispensaries scrambling to unload non-compliant product.

But while the deadline is giving pot shop owners headaches, it is creating an opportunity for consumers. They are already anticipating deep discounts on their favourite marijuana products on what has been dubbed “Green Saturday” – for the colour of cannabis – and for black market dealers.

“There’s going to be a lot of massive sales, a lot of retails fire-selling a lot of products,” said Nick Danias, manager of The Pottery cannabis dispensary in mid-city Los Angeles.

“It’s about getting rid of a lot of older product that doesn’t meet city and state requirements and getting through that old inventory and moving on to the next steps after July 1,” he said.
