The only real value of weed was the illegality. Its so easy to grow that its shamefully how much the dispensaries charge. The current prices at dispensaries are what allows people to continue selling illegally. If the government wants to continue selling at prohibition prices, there's gonna be prohibition competition.
I'm sure someone somehow is selling bootleg liquor but its cheap enough that bath tub gin isn't a common thing anymore. Basement weed, on the other hand won't go away until the price reflects the actual cost of productio
Yep. I hate when I hear people say tax it and keep all the money for the government. Current price is artificial, enforced by government violence against those selling it. The solution is to remove the violence not replace it with a different form i.e. violence used to extort money from producers.
