It's going to get to the point where it's so cheap and easy to get the government will be forced to legalize it. The amount of people growing in their own homes for personal use is much, MUCH, higher than most people understand.

As far as things getting cheaper the only way that will happen is if they make it legal or lower the punishment. If they continue to jail people for growing the money will always be there, just like if the new Omnibus bill is passed prices will most likely rise with stiffer penalties.
For people growing in their homes it is estimated that 1 in 100 homes in BC have some form of grow-op in them. The problem will never go away and the Kelowna RCMP have admited that if they busted a grow-op every day for a year they wouldn't even put a dent in the problem. They feel that when one is taken down two are put up. The more their enforce the law it seems growers are just multiplying in the hopes that just one grow can keep going.
The biggest reason is an average grower can grow a pound of marijuana for $50-100 and then they turn around and sell it from anything from $1200-2000. The mark up is amazing and that's only because it's illegal, the government is doing this to themselves being foolish enough to think they can stop it.
The War on Drugs was lost before it even started! And the government wrote a blank cheque to organized crime when it started.
