I did read the paper. It basically assumes large scale marijuana growth would be done on large communal farms. It's idealistic but unrealistic in the world of large business. The paper also readily admits that large scale taxes would account for a large portion of the consumer price. For some reason they assume government would only want to tax at a rate of $50 per ounce, which is ridiculous.
Government will tax at the highest rate they possibly can and then add sales tax on top of that.
It's also of note that this paper was prepared for California. The cost of a six pack of beer or a pack of ciagarettes is much cheaper in California. The cost of marijuana is greater while the quality is lower.
