Not for $45 for three joints and up to 34% tax they won't.

Not if you tell 'em

I thought cost/tax was similar in CO?

Hence the illegal grows and trade (yuge margin for profit).

Taxes on pot in CO are similar. You pay regular sales tax (which is 2.9% state plus whatever your county, city, etc adds on ... so that's 9.030% in Manitou Springs, the closest place to me for recreational weed), plus 10% MJ tax, plus there's a 15% excise tax on it as well.

I'm hoping potheads are drawn to the beautiful weather in CA and go back, but I'm not holding my breath.

Even with similar taxes, I'm pretty confident that three joints can be had here for under $15.00. I can make some phone calls to find out if need be.

I got the $45 number from an article I read on the first, all about people waiting in line to be the very first to purchase in California when it was legalized. Of course, like all new things, I expect the price to level out, but my hopes of people flooding back to the West coast were dashed upon reading the article and seeing the prices. The other guy in the article bought a flower (?) and some other stuff and spent $150!

Flower just means he bought some regular weed. Not the concentrates, edibles, etc.

Are you sure that heavy pot smokers are the kind of people that make decisions by weighing the pros and cons of both sides and then determining the best course of action?

We're talking about twentysomethings that hitch hiked out here 'cause they heard "Colorado gots legal weed [insert Beavis & Butthead style laugh here]" without even considering how they were going to feed themselves nor where they would live.

We need to start posting pics of happy losers smoking weed on the beach with well endowed women in bikini's hanging all over them all over the place to put the subtile idea in their heads that "CA has weed AND boobies!".

And where are you getting these pictures?

THIS!!!!

Along with some FakeNews of people freezing to death while stoned in CO. And warn about the Colorado Toilet Spider.

I guess I'm naïve. When "legalization" started I read stories of $200-400/oz. Looking at the cars outside of dispensaries, I really wondered how the customers can afford it.

YES!! A forest spider that jumps up a persons arse when they squat.

Priorities dude.

I assume the same priorities when it comes to buying food, paying for rent, etc... which is why there is so much need.
