Yet, after the legitimate market overtakes the black market, it should run just like any other commodity.
If weed were made legal it would not be legal to grow it yourself,i know seems like it doesnt make sense right, but i think penalties would actually increase big time to improve the governments control over the taxes. Maybe if you paid a big time grower fee you could cultivate yourself. All the government wants is complete control over everything that happens. If they made it legal to make money off the taxes and made it legal to grow it they would cancel eachother out and everybody would just have free weed (which would be peace on earth) but lets face it that is not going to happen because money is worth more than happy people.


On that note the black market prices would not compete with government prices, as the government would produce in such bulk that even with taxes it would be much cheaper than todays street prices, why would the government get into a business it cant win in? they would find a way to keep the prices lower than street prices.

And to the person who said they think the government would make it addictive with additives, they have natural cigarettes with no additives and would do so with marijuana, the government does not need to get people hooked. Its like having a great product, the product will sell itself, as it does already.
