and by the way I could care less about alcohol of any kind!!!! I like cannabis.. I was just making a point that weed is sold for to high of a price.. that's why you don't see black market beer, wine or hard alcohol.. if a case of beer was a hundred bucks then you would see a beer black market take off..

What I find interesting is the refusal of the banks to do business with the pot shops. How noble they are !!! Where was that Nobility when they were perpetrating fraud on a mass scale during the latest financial disaster ? Well, I suppose, one could make the case they were just the customers of the pot shops at that time.

OR-we could see new waves of cannabis users as more and more states legalize-and the price could stay about the same.

I saw some high grade weed advertised in Colorado priced for 29 a gram that included the tax, but is sky high in my book..

Yeah, that is too much. Legal Colorado weed (supposedly) has been coming to the East Coast and it doesn't even sell for more than $20/g here on the street.

A recent, small 'sampler' receipt looks like:

LA Chocolat 2 grams $28.57
Juicy Fruit 3 grams $ 34.29

SUB $62.86
TAX $ 13.26
TOTAL $ 76.14

I can't count the 2 grams of Raspberry Kush because we 'spun the wheel' and got those for 2 cents.

Drug-use would go down to a minimum because no one would help them.
Pot smokers aren't lining up for health care. Will I argue there are no long term problems? No, but there are with Twinkies also.
