There are many drugs (even prescription drugs) that people should not be taking before driving. Driving without or with a lack of sleep is also very dangerous. Alcohol is the one thing we can actively test for. Yes, it is an issue, but we certainly can't do a whole lot about it.
If you price it to high, people will just continue buying from their friends who buy from friends who buy from growers. Weed is not a rich mans drug, it's very cheap. You are not going to be successful at eliminating criminal distribution if you price it for the people that want to buy legally and have the money to pay extortionate amounts. As well, you also need to have stores that can set a competitive price so that they can actually turn a profit and exist.
