    The real answer to all of this is people just want to use it without getting in trouble. Every other reason is bullshit.

    Truth.

    The question is, do we need a better fucking reason than that?

    Demand curves for drugs aren't super elastic. People who want drugs will get drugs and pay premium prices for them if they have to and will pay bargain prices if they can. I know that the external costs of smoking have been researched and litigated ad nauseum and those costs are quite high. Likewise, alcohol is either the cause of or a contributor to thousands of deaths and injuries each year, to say nothing of alcohol-related injuries.

    Of all consumer drugs, pot probably has the lowest amount of negative externalities, but prices have been artificially high for about a hundred years. Only WA's fucking stupid implementation of legalization could have fucked that up, and apparently has.

    As an outsider looking in, I think it is hilarious that WA looked at its liquor-control scheme and thought that it works great and should be replicated for pot.

    I'm interested in the external costs of smoking and drinking. Can you provide some details?

    It will be easier to take the bong from the stoners than to take the tax revenue from WA DOR.

    Cannabis City is closed - on siesta for 10-15 days. Ran out of product

    http://blogs.seattletimes.com/pot/2014/07/11/wheres-the-weed-the-morning-report-for-july-11/

    Sounds like a budding problem. Could be a chronic issue.
