I don't get why the Government would charge more money for the same product and think people will pay it. They charge ~$10/pack for cigs and you can bet your ass that a smoker would gladly pay $5/pack for better cigarettes with minimal risk (which is exactly what it is to buy weed) of doing so, why wouldn't it be the same for weed if the government was overcharging?
Really I'm not worried about price at this point, I'm more concerned with the quality of the product if the government gets their hand on it. Also I don't see the government ever legalizing it until the states does and that will never happen.
