Colorado proves that legal cannabis is an enormous fucking no-brainer

This is me engaging my prophecy mode. I'm willing to bet that the licensing body will never facilitate the kind of high output mechanized (and chemical - yay for defoliants!) operations that would allow the consumer to pay the true cost of the goods. That would bring the price down to something like pennies on the ounce - and the money well would be all dried up.

Well, duh. It's still going to be $40 / eighth or more. The only real advantages are legality and quality control (the state requires testing and honest labeling).
