something below $1 per gram; add to that 33 cents in excise and a 15 percent sales tax... substantially lower than those in Washington State [where it's] $95/ounce.

Per gram in CA will be $1 plus $.33 tax plus 15% sales tax comes to $1.53 per gram.

So with 28.35 grams per ounce, that comes to $43 per ounce in CA.

Fast forward to the year after this law is passed....

“________ * State officials are puzzled by the fact that tax revenue from Weed sales is only 3% of what was expected yet the streets are crowded with stoned people.”

That’s too much math, Man.

You’ll make their heads hurt with all those numbers, Dude.

That’s why Common Core was invented, Man. So they wouldn’t have to deal with all those numbers, Dude.

$45 per oz for good weed?

A new gold rush! And all Kali pension plans will suddenly become solvent!

Sort of like the old "Gas Wars" now we have "Pot Wars" who will survive them?

Since it was legalized here in Washington the police have mostly stopped paying attention to people selling it illegally and avoiding the taxes. They also don’t seem to have any interest with people now growing it in their homes for resale and for their own use. My guess is that the state is getting nothing from the vast majority of marijuana that is being consumed. I assume also that the increased supply has lowered the price considerably for those avoiding the taxes. However usage also appears to be up also. The smell of marijuana seems to be everywhere so maybe demand has kept the price up.

Since I’m not a pot head, is the final price good or bad? What’s the joints per gram?

$43 per ounce in CA. How does that compare to Washington, Oregon, Colorado?
