no, that's basic economics. There is NOT a large enough supply to support consumer pricing at 25 per 1/8 of top quality indoor, which is why the price is around twice that. The reason the shops can charge what they do is because of demand. If demand was matching supply at a price point of 25 per 1/8 that's what would be charged. Its not.

You're correct that legalizing would be able to increase supply which would lower prices to the consumer.

im sorry, im not in la la land where i pretend no one grows or smokes mj....the REAL supply and demand is being kept quite, while they are making up whatever they want about it. think about it, EVERYONE LOVES MJ, which is why the supply isnt their either because of the governments stupid laws. so then its up to the mmj patient growers to supply co-ops and such with meds for mmj only patients, which makes the prices what they are... but dont act like the supply or the demand isnt their cause that is just BS. if legalized that would mean yes, anyone could grow and more people WOULD be supplying and prices WOULD drop to the point of 25 an 1/8. i mean realy cmon, cannabis is the "highest $/G ratio" out of anything else, would you pay $300 for 28G's of Flour? i think not. do you see how we have created a problem that doesnt need to exist???? thats all im getting at, but since we act like their is a greater power then US controling US, we cant take the little "leap of faith" to see what happens if we stand up for what you believe is right, and we all agree on cannabis being safe and that it should be legal.... so be proud to be "pie eyed", relax, enjoy the herbal goodness for once
