Yea, thats the way i would see it going. Unless its sold at the going rate or just over itl be a non starter as the black market will still be viable.Yep taxed to the point where black market is way cheaper same as cigs

Thankyou for the info.Though, as noted above, I am not a user I have friends who are. The profits on illegal drugs, weed in particular, are high enough that the dealers, able entrepreneurs as they are, can and do undercut the
licensed retail outlets. As a previous poster noted from his trip to BC, the customers of the legal shops are older people, including my 87 year old mother in law and her friends, and they tend to be buying edibles for fun and cannabis oil for self medicating arthritis etc..
I'm not up to date because I don't purchase any but ..................... The commercial dispensaries have products broken down to the point of labeling almost like a chemists analysis with regard to potency. The plants are grown indoors using commercially produced chemical compounds for 'fertilizer' which I consider akin to the GMO and antibiotic / hormone driven factory farm and veg industry.
Serious money that. After several Gin and Tonics it’s probably worth mentioning that Alcohol is the only drug where people feel the need to have an excuse for not partaking? Be it Weed or Heroin I don’t recall anyone ever saying “just have the one heroin or spliff” in the same was they would drink. Congrats on scoring a good brain lol.

When the first few dispensaries opened the stuff ran between $18 and $28 / gram translating to roughly $504 to $784 per ounce
I haven't any idea what home grown may sell for but will place a guess at $340 - $400 / ounce depending on the skill of the producer. Citizens are allowed to grow their own up to a certain number of plants and I don't notice any drastic change in peoples behavior since legalization.
Addressing all the gateway theories and the "I know people who are burned out from drugs" posts ..................... People and their brains are all different and in America there are about 335,000,000 brains. I happen to have scored a good one (brain) that has handled everything I threw at it and there seem to be zero detrimental or residual effects. Other people aren't the same and that isn't my problem. Drug addiction is just that, alcohol addiction is the same thing it's just a choice for some which thing to self administer.
I have known people (a few) that would smoke some pot soon as they woke up in the morning and I never really understood that. I didn't ask why they did it so it's possible there was some reason unbeknownst to me that to them made sense. None of those persons were especially successful but they were all multi skilled albeit quite stoned regularly.
I used to be like that with beer etc, all or nothing but happy with it and not one to look for trouble (although it often seemed to find me drunk or soberSomething else worth the mention would be that I think we've all seen someone pound down pint after pint or throw back shot after shot until they are nearly or fully incapacitated. Maybe I never ran with the right crowd but I don't remember anyone chain smoking joints
). I cant say ive got an addictive personality though and never really have. I don’t recall anyone ever being violent off weed either?Something else worth the mention would be that I think we've all seen someone pound down pint after pint or throw back shot after shot until they are nearly or fully incapacitated.

I have had one serious flirtation with alcohol in an alcoholic sense and it scared me how fast I went from a quarter bottle of Whiskey to a full bottle inc a litre at times by myself and keep down a job? The times where I had alcohol poisoning though were not funny and it put me off whiskey for life.I used to be like that with beer etc, all or nothing but happy with it and not one to look for trouble (although it often seemed to find me drunk or sober).

Dont drink at all these days but thats because getting older im rough for days after and the risk vs rewward just dosent make sense anymore. Im too busy to spend the day in bed and cant be botherd with the trouble that comes with people that cant hold their beer in the local bars.
If im honest, my favourate nights were in the all night raves where alcohol wasnt served and extacy was the order of the night so it was rare there was any trouble. Thats when i was young though and wouldnt take the risk these days.

The smell of it knocks me sick after over indulging on the single malt then talking to hewy on the big white phone all night while sprawled on the bathroom floor
