This will drive down the cost for high quality meds, as now I have another option.
It'd be hard to justify $250 an ounce if tobacco companies are producing dirt weed for $10.

This is more similar to alcohol prohibition.
When the drug beer (dirt weed) was illegal for example, it was very expensive and you could never tell if the quality would be there.
Now, beer is regulated and I have literally hundreds of options at a dirt cheap rate. Low and high quality.
With hard alcohol (premium meds) it was often terrible quality making people go blind. Now, products range between $5 and $500 for a legal, safe bottle.

Why do you believe legalization would cause marijuana to be different than alcohol?
1) GREED 2) PHARMACOPOEIA 3) UNODC INTERNATIONAL TREATY TOPS THE LIST....
jamessr Reviewed by jamessr on . Medical 'donations' Recently my caregiver stopped growing. I contacted a couple dispensaries in the area to see what 'recommended donations' would be. To my horror, I have found that they all charge as much or more than those doing it totally illegally. How is it that criminals and street dealers charge for example $10 a gram, making large profits... and then these co-ops claim they are helping the community, only volunteering or taking donations to cover their expenses? Dispensaries have an economy Rating: 5
