Being competitive isn’t about just beating a price, it’s about justifying value, and the government seems to know that as well.
To say that Terry is going to continue to compete with a legal industry is just far fetched. What’s the historic precedent for it?
Quality product produced in a properly controlled environment, a regulated market, outside of black market reach with the option to have it delivered to your home, go into a shop, or grow your own is going to beat out Terry 9/10 times.
And if Terry gets beat out 9/10 times, eventually Terry is going to find something else to do.
I won’t question your sources of regular users, but if we’re being anecdotal, out of the dozens of people I’ve talked to I haven’t met one who is actually considering continuing to buy on the black market.
