LOL--there is a cost associated with growing indoor marijuana. And it's very expensive. California right now is paying approx. 32 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity--more than twice as much as other states.

So then we have to assume this person is talking about out-door grows--that only come in ONCE a year--that's it.

If marijuana is legalized in California this November--the "demand" for marijuana will sky-rocket. And basic economic's 101 tells us that when demand is high for a product--and there is not enough around to supply that demand--what product is around will go through the roof in price.

The ONLY time the price drops--is when there is too much inventory--or supply--and not enough demand. I don't see that happening in the near future.

Simple economics 101.
