That just cracks me up. like people would go to the store and pay the extra tax on weed. common… you would just continue to buy from your dealer as there prices would have no tax and be cheaper. I can see it now man “they are taxing weed to hold us down man…” “using our money to fight the war man” that turns into “don’t buy legal weed that just funds the machine”.

Holy picard.  
get to your nearest community college and crash an eco101 class. Now. supply, demand, meet retard.

do you really think an ounce of a plant easily growable costs a couple hundred dollars to manufacture? That 99% of it isnt fees related to smuggling, markup at 10 different levels, and motivation to take the risk of getting arrested?

they could put a 100% tax on the legal product and it would still be MUCH cheaper than it is now.
