Correct me if I’m wrong (as it’s quite probable).
On one hand, I’m all for national legalization.
However, in Chicago Cook County, there’s a 40% tax on rec mj, making the price of an ounce almost $500. The feds will certainly impose a tax. While I don’t advocate buying off the street, street prices are between $230 – $280 p/oz. It’s like, OK, it’s legal, but yet it’s getting priced out.
The only alternative I see is to grow your own, but that’s not an alternative for many people.
Tis a quandary. 🙁
