This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
