That is what I am saying the convenince of it being in the store. not everyone is going to try to grow the stuff.
Even simplier example. I could have made dinner last night but it was easier to order out pizza and the pizza was taxed.

Exactly, I don't get this take that just because you can grow it you can't tax it.
Not everyone has the time and knowledge to grow. People are lazy, they want things now and are willing to pay for convenience.

^ Correct, espically lazy pot smokers!
It is just like Mr. Beer you could make your own and it is fun and all but there is going to be a time when you just want or will have to get store bought(if it is brewing and you have none you will have to go to the store).

You missed my point. Just because people are lazy doesn't mean others aren't. Beer and Tobacco take effort, Pot doesn't.

I made some beer last weekend and it was easier than growing pot and will be ready in 1/3 of the time.
Do you really think legal pot sold in stores wouldn't be a raging success??

I am sure people will buy them in masses but I don't know if they'll continue to pay $50 for a few joints. I suppose all of this talk is premature, the market will decide prices.

Agreed, if it were to become legalized, then you take most of the danger out of distribution (dealers etc.) prices will drop. From that point on supply and demand will determine cost. For a while I can still see pretty steep prices (still cheaper than when it was illegal). After the craze is gone and the market selltles down I can see them being slightly more expensive than cigarettes. On the other hand they could be as expensive as Cigars too. We'll see.

It really doesn't matter. I'll bet my bottom dollar that it's not legalized in my lifetime.
I'm going to say there's a chance it might be legalized in the next 25 years. Better than a 50/50 chance.

I'd say by 2025 all smokers will rejoice.
