There is more money in illegal pot than there ever would be in legal pot. For everyone, from the police state to the grower. While I wouldn't assume that everyone in this chain is somehow complicit in what amounts to a massive price fixing scam, I couldn't ignore the possibility that many very powerful (and very wealthy) people are, and by extension so are those entities which operate as the public face of their private, profitable arm. An arm, which I have to add, is holding a gun no matter which side of the line one is on. It is in the best interests of the business of growing and selling pot for it to remain illegal, and, as we see, they are not beyond the use of deadly force to protect this business.
