Well gee, then you think people will buy the legal, yet far more expensive pot or the still illegal but far cheaper version? Bunch of geniuses there, smokin’ too much of their product.

It won’t be long before the users just grow their own, growing decent pot is no more trouble than growing good tomatoes, and once guys start getting into it, they will be ever improving, and selling it cheaply or for cost to their friends, and trading versions of it and so on.
If you have ever been around pot growers or tomato growers, you know how it catches on and develops into a kind of gardening competition among friends and neighbors, roses are like that.
Consumers will pay a premium for quality control and staying on the right side of the law - but I doubt many will pay triple. Either these sellers will realize they can make more money at lower prices, or new competitors will enter the market and drive prices down ... or both.
