Here is wishing them all the failure in the world.

driving price down... cheaper the reefer

On the upside, the cartels are getting out of the marijuana business because they can’t compete.

“Because of the high taxes on Washington’s legal pot, Seitz says stores can never compete with the black market while paying growers sustainable prices.”

Looks like some of the arguments for legal pot are up in smoke.

The only way to make this work is to cut taxes.

[Beagle8U]

There is no huge pot of gold to be had by taxing something as easy to grow as a tomato plant.

The Libtardians that claim legalized dope will balance state budgets by taxing it are just blowing smoke. Once legal there is no way to tax it.

Market forces at work. There’s a lesson here, if we will learn it.

[Lurker]

This nation learned nothing from Prohibition. Nothing.

[Kartographer]

I call now on Congress to set-up agricultural subsidies for the excess pot and buy it up for distribution to the poor.

[Born to Conserve]

I hope employers and landlords have the right to hire and rent to non stoners.

Dave’s not here.

Wish they’d make it legal here in Florida. Morons here in Floriduh voted medical use down. Still trapped in the “reefer-madness” propaganda of the 1930’s.

Control the manufacture, packaging and distribution of dope like tobacco, and tax it like tobacco and see what happens.

general manager at Dutch Brothers Farms in Seattle

They should have called it the "Freak Brothers Farm".

After all, "dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope".

Send it to our State Department. They must be smoking tons of the stuff every day.

Casual marijuana use may damage your brain

[Real Cynic No More]

Is there a futures market now on the CBOE?

[VideoDoctor]

On a business basis they are going to create a low priced black market.

No taxes.. just cash & carry.

[tacticalogic]

I don't get all the doom and gloom carping.

They grew a bunch of pot they can't sell. That means there just aren't that many people that want it. What's not to like?

[Ken H]

Growers struggle with glut of legal pot in Washington state

For old-timers here, did you ever think you'd see such a headline at FR?

My initial assessment => marijuana prohibitionists have lost.

[RinaseaofDs]

Of course, nobody saw it coming. It’s called ‘weed’. Did you think the barriers to entry were high?
