If you were to totally make pot cheap (purchased at the grocery store) some local kids in Pahoa or Kehena would have nothing better to do vs. hanging out looking to sell their stash on the side of the road. I see if from both sides, the "war on drugs" has become a total failure causing countries like Mexico and Columbia to have to pay for our stupid habits in the way of Drug Cartles controling their countries. Definitely similar to the Mob running the illegal liquor trade in the US during prohibition era. On the other hand I see alchohal, cigarettes, pot, meth, heroin a really potentially stupid way to ruin your life and waste away your hard earned cash. As I tell most young people "get high on life" and if you can't get "high on life" something is seriously wrong with your life. They don't call it dope for nothing and after watching a close family member almost drink themselves to death (yikes .....). Don't get me wrong, my favorite breakfast condiment is Kalua & Coffee but I'm a lucky one who can stop just at that.
