I love how people still think people will buy from dealers even when its legalized.
Here are some facts, tobacco is much much harder to grow then marijuana, yet you can purchace an ounce of tobacco at most smoke shops for under $7. Marijuana from the best hook ups ever (dealers) will never be less then $150 an ounce because of the illegality and the need to make profit. Once marijuana is legalized large corporations will create huge grow-ops to grow some of the best quality marijuana (Better then what most dealers have due to it being grown professionally and with high quality strains and cured properly) and it will be extremely cheap, a pack of around 20 marijuana cigarettes would cost around $2 (The packaging would end up costing more then the actual marijuana inside the cigarettes) with out tax, even with 800% tax it would be cheaper then buying marijuana from a dealer.
Which would you rather buy?
1. 4 grams of some unknown marijuana that could not even be marijuanna and might be cut short wrapped in some tinfoil
or
2. 4 grams of the highest quality marijuana in the market cured and produced by professionals in a propor thick plastic bag in a safe environment (store) with the assurance that it will be exactly 4 grams, what you payed for.
Just like alcohol which was once illegal marijuana will become legal soon, i guarantee it.
