Brownoser, if you decide to take me off your ignore list,
Weed clubs up the price because it isn't a crop grown in large quantities as tobacco is,
it would probably cost just as much as a box of ciggs.

oh and as exilement said, they may even cost less as cannabis doesn't need to be dried up and curled.

EDIT: Oh, I'm interested,
have you put me on your ignore list because you can't stand to read something that apposes what you say and actually makes sense?

Marijuana clubs aren't, though. They sell medical marijuana to people with prescriptions.


The prices of an illegal product in a legal setting isn't indicative of a legal product in a commercial setting.

Yet, they're not running out anytime soon, are they?

What does that have to do with anything? The supply is still a fraction of what it would be in a commercial setting

Did you know a fraction could be 1/1? Or maybe even 3/1? That term never really made sense to me.

Are you stupid?
It is NO WHERE as highly a grown crop as tobacco,
not even a fraction,
probably around 5 pounds of marijuana to every 300 hundred pounds of tobacco.
thus that means there is less amount,

Also,
there is no where as high of a demand for legal marijuana as tobacco,

and if you are just too young to understand that logic,
I've made some equations for someone like you...

Less demand + less amount = Higher price to stay in business.

If it were legalized...

High Demand + Large amount = Lower price needed to stay in business.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE.

And Brownoser,
you are asking to be banned under the terms of being a smartass.

Id prefer the actual plant to just be legal in that case, then instead of spending insane amounts of money on it, why not everyone grow it themselves. I suppose that is an opinion...but just as well why would the government allow a powerful psychoactive stimulant to be legal and easily accessible to the people of it's country, whether you want to believe it or not, it IS a substance that some people can't handle, and it IS a drug. In no way should weed be compared to as buying cigarettes. If anything, to alcohol. Obviously driving intoxicated will be an issue, and there's so many more issues, i honestly can't see anyway marijuana can get anymore legal then the prescription stage.

This can't really be debated properly, as theres just too much variated opinion even in the science of it, itself. It may seem I'm trying to be biased, but I am indeed a user, so I'm not against the drug.

Isn't it more demand + less amount that makes the prices higher?

I think you're more likely to be banned because you're breaking an actual rule by flaming, I'm not.

If that were the case, they would grow more as cannabis is an easy drug to grow.
That'd never be the case.
NEVER

EDIT:
I'm not flaming,
Flaming is when someone comes out of nowhere and attacks,
I am stating a fact.
It is globally agreed that you are indeed a jackass and a dumbass.

And I'm debating whether or not you're in fact a troll by this point.

That also means that less demand + more product means lower prices. Have you ever played the stock market?

if there was more of a product, but few people were buying it, the prices would be high as they would need to make a profit in order to stay in business. have you ever had an economics class?
