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.
This actually how it works now at dispensaries already . The only differnce is the won't let you in the store without medical cards.
