"Increase the supply, availability, and competition of anything and the price will decrease."

That didn't work for legal medical marijuana in California. That didn't work for government supplied legal medical marijuana in Canada. That didn't work for legal recreational marijuana in Amsterdam.

But I should believe you when you say that theory will work here? Sorry, I need more than that.

Doesn't apply ... it's illegal to sell medical marijuana in California.

That didn't work for government supplied legal medical marijuana in Canada.

Doesn't apply ... availability was unchanged for nonmedical users, who vastly outnumber medical users.

That didn't work for legal recreational marijuana in Amsterdam.

Doesn't apply ... it's still illegal to grow it there.

Real conservatives know that when supply and demand is claimed to not work, as liberals love to claim, the whole story is not being told.

Medical pot is not legal in California. The DEA busts medical pot growers all the time. That effects the price in an extreme manner. Seriously, what aobut that can't you comprehend?

That didn't work for government supplied legal medical marijuana in Canada.

One government agency supplies medical pot in Canada, and by all reports it is lousy crap that hardly anyone wants to smoke. So once again, your comparison doesn't apply.

That didn't work for legal recreational marijuana in Amsterdam.

According to the price you posted, it did. $233 an ounce is much cheaper than black market pot of the same quality in most of the US. But again, it isn't legal there either, so once again, again, your comparison doesn't apply.

But I should believe you when you say that theory will work here? Sorry, I need more than that.

Because my theory assumes that things are legal! Not this quasi-legal state that you keep bringing up.
