Unless they make enough to buy the influence required to keep it that way. It works for Oil, Banks, Pharma etc. When have artificial markets ever been beneficial for the consumer? Speaking of which, how's that Cap and Trade looking? :fire:

The problem with taxing it at an astronomical rate is that it leaves incentive for a black market to continue. Getting the criminal incentive out of marijuana production should be a goal of legalization. Legalization with an intact black market will cause more problems than we currently have...
