Sorry but in Washington’s case that just isn’t true. Besides 92% taxation the state is going to control the THC content to somewhere around 7%. Street pot now routinely tests much, much higher.

With the medical pot being seperate and given our state being close to the famous BC Bud and Washington’s big clandestine pot growers, the state will not see their pipe dream come true.

with taxes that high, legal pot will never be profitable.

Nonsense - pot is produce, and even at a 92% tax rate only the most exotic legal produce costs as much as illegal pot, for which many are willing to pay.

Sorry but in Washington’s case that just isn’t true.

In Washington many kinds of legal produce are almost as expensive as illegal pot? Evidence?

Besides 92% taxation the state is going to control the THC content to somewhere around 7%. Street pot now routinely tests much, much higher.

As of 2009, the University of Mississippi's Marijuana Potency Monitoring Project found an average of 13% - higher but not "much, much higher." And you can get just as high on 7% as on 13% or 30% just as you can get as drunk on beer as on liquor - it just takes more consumption to get there.
