I don't smoke, what is a carton? $60? $120 for a pound of tobacco.
What does it cost to grow a pound of tobacco? I didn't research really in depth but I did find this.
Farmers who endured the tough growing season have been rewarded with burley prices near or at $2 per pound so far during the marketing season, said Will Snell, a University of Kentucky agricultural economist.
The scale of growth with tobacco compared to pot is going to be much larger which will bring costs down some but there is some quick research for anyone to try and defend $250 an ounce.
That is why I support Decriminalization and not legalization and you would have your wish. The Government will never allow that, how would they get their money if you are not selling it and they get to tax it, "Sin" taxes are a favorite of both Libs and Cons, they can raise them through the roof and people will simply nod and keep giving the government their piece of the action, kinda like the Mob makes money.
I would have no problem with that. Holland and Portugal have done that and it has been a huge success.
very predictable. in fact, I predicted it months ago. why pay 2-3x as much from a dispensary when neighbor Bob has better stuff right next door for 1/3 the price?
this is why i always chuckle at the 'just-legalize-it-and-tax-the-hell-out-of-it' crowd.
BS!
You laugh, and have no clue!
It's the out of state traffickers!
Just make it legal in all states and all this BS will be done with!!!!

Because Bob's tweaked and wants you to hang out and watch Dr. Who reruns.

BINGO!
Just make it legal and everything good will follow. Gangs will lose 70% of their finance, Mexican cartels will be wiped out, and the tax income will be outstanding! Corporate (think about that) PRISONS WILL GO BROKE!!!Tax stamp all drugs and OD's will dramatically decrease. Spend the windfall on welfare, drug rehab, and prevention programs.
THE ENTIRE WAR ON CITIZENS IS RIDICULOUS!
AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, if common sense prevailed, life would be goooooooooooood!
Friends in Colorado Springs, they were paying $100 an oz. before and the legal they were getting was $300, not a good deal in any ones book.
Exactly, in my old neighborhood it is 120 but it is 3 blocks away and they have a selection on strains. There is good weed to be had with out the shops but if the shop had some Hawian with purple hairs I would have to splurge.
The discussion concerns legal pot. Yes, the illegal black market can justify the high costs. Legal pot should be nowhere near those numbers.
