I really wonder if the price would go up or down under legalization. I think it would stay about the same. For a few reasons.
One the economics of it. As cheap as weed is comparatively, it's still illegal, and is still an investment to those growing it and selling it, and all that costs money. Getting an illegal product to market, even one as benign as weed, has costs. So it'd be cheaper initially. But once you add taxes you chip some of that away. I wonder if it'd be about the same.
Secondly, just outta common sense, one would have to think the government couldn't afford to make it too much more expensive, otherwise, people would just get it under the table as usual.
Perhaps those that have been to places like Amsterdam could tell us how it compares in price.
