    If you do not want to watch the whole video the answer is over taxation.

    Ask the Republicans in the states that refuse to legalize it .

    I’m in Oregon and I don’t know anyone under 21, that doesn’t just go to a dispensary. If you buy top shelf it’s expensive, but weed has so much THC these days, that I prefer the cheaper stuff anyways. You can still find like $60.00 dollar ounces. I think it’s mostly weed being shipped out of state

    Because the “illegal” weed is better.

    Alcoholics are not barred from the second ammendment and weed smokers should not be either.

    The high prices at the dispensaries are keeping the black market alive.
    I thought the governments of all the states that legalized adult use cannabis would have figured this out by now.
    Lower the prices at the dispensaries..
    I get double on the street than what the dispensaries charge. The prices need to come down in order to drive the black market away.. 💚🌿💯

    This is just the start of the money we are going to make off marijuana business legalize it to grow
