Legal pot got taxed and regulated to over $5 a gram of pot.

Illegal pot took the much better legal pot strains and sells for under $15 a gram.

Only the government is dumb enough to lose money selling pot.

The goal was never to be a viable industry.

The first part of the con was the state selling dispensary licenses (a piece of paper) for thousands upon thousands in order to raise millions of dollars.

The second part of the con was that these dispensaries would never be able to compete with illegal dealers. Without probable cause for law enforcement to stop motorists and pedestrians chooming along in a cloud of smoke, users can buy cheaper illegal weed.

LOL

This was going to be a huge cash crop for California. Hey, Nevada couldn’t even make a profit on a bordello, so what do you expect?

He said taxes that will increase next year make it an easy choice for shoppers. With prices in the underground half of what they see on legal shelves, he said “most consumers are going to take off.”

We may be like hippies, man, but we’re not stupid.

Cluster-bleep. Everybody knew taxing the crap out of pot would lead to this.

This was predictable, a price war with the drug dealers, they pay no brick & mortar costs, no taxes and they deliver.

Folks who support legal pot come in two groups: potheads who think the pot industry will make them rich, and libertarians who think the way to destroy the pot industry is to make it legal.
