I could be wrong about it being higher, but I am thinking that the stores and merchants, before they are going to sell it, they are going to look at the profit margin. If people on the street are willing to buy an ounce for $150 and that is with seeds and stems, merchants are going to be able to sell it rolled in smaller quantities and make a larger profit. Also, the cost of raising crops are not going to change so what the crop farmer is goingto be selling it for is not going to change. Now that it is legal it will go through a middleman and that is an extra hand in the pie to get his profit off of it.

That is kind of a rambling answer, but that is my train of thought.
