Attention Seattle-area residents, who want marijuana legalized:
Thanks for your support! I hope you're able to get the people you know to sign, too!

I agree with those points you made about common reasons why this fails to gain support, and I offer some points to consider for people who believe those claims to be unyielding truths:
-Many do argue that prices will go up, but it's a matter of supply and demand. The black market causes an increase of price on in-demand products that cannot be purchased via legitimate means; no one is regulating price or quality in this market. If the market is flooded with legitimate sources for a product, then rationally, the price would go down because of competition.
-The case could be made for tax amounts driving prices uncomfortably high, but at the same time, people would be capable of growing it themselves without penalty. Unless they're selling or buying it, taxes would be a non-issue. Co-op grow operations would be another way around feeling a price-pinch.
-As far as quality: there will ALWAYS be connoisseurs. Yes, mass production leads to factory-farming conditions--but if demand is high for organic, quality cannabis, then prices should be somewhat reasonable.
Are there any thoughts about these musings? I'm positive there are aspects and things I haven't considered...any suggestions?
