Regarding cost, I think a lot of you are greatly underestimating how much people will pay for prestige and "premium" products. And how branding/marketing can influence price.
Walk into decent liquor store today and just look at the vast price differences on plain old vodka, you've got your plastic jug for $18 and your "ultra premium exclusive adjective adjective triple distilled angel tears" vodka for $50-$60 a bottle.
You don't think we'll be seeing velvet lined boxes of weed? Or cigar box "collectors edition" for a 1/4 ounce one day? Or depending on the laws around edibles, artisanal gluten free raw food hand crafted weed brownies?
Sure the price for a gram of ditch weed might bottom out, but if legal weed gets even a fraction of the marketing muscle the alcohol industry has, the cost per toke is gonna go up.
