I thought this was supposed to reduce prices. Don't high prices usually cause a black market on the stuff? Maybe now, the dealers on the streets will be making more money too.
I know that's always been an argument of the legalize crowd but I never bought it. The users have already established what price they are willing to pay-why would a seller, especially if turned out to be the government-charge any less than the illegal dealers did?
I think the high prices are just gouging because they know their inventory won’t cover the unexpected demand. Let’s see what the prices look like in a year or two once the economics of it all starts to stabilize.
