    Disagree. Fucking government can't keep their greed out of the market and will tax it to the point the black market will still thrive. Many cities in oregon were passing special local pot taxes all summer and fall in anticipation. What bunch of greedy fucking assholes.

    Always about the black markets with you.

    And this is why legal taxation and regulation will never work out like they think it will. Minimal barriers to entry. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to grow plants, so the black market will always have the lowest prices. People who really want it can just grow their own.
    Most of those people won't. Growing takes time and effort. People can also grow their own gardens, but most people buy food from the store.

    Bingo. Not to mention home gardening doesn't bring with it potential legal difficulties.

    Most people won't grow there own, but a significant number will still get it from the black market. The governments greed and ridiculous regulations will keep the black market alive. It's sad because it doesn't have to be that way.
