              I can only speak to CO, but the quality of the legal stuff is off the charts compared to the illegal. It's like comparing fast food to sit down, one is cheaper for a reason.

                  That's exactly what I was thinking. The difference is Wendy's is legal.

                  But that's what I assume we're seeing: the evolution of marketing niches. It happened with booze, it'll happen with weed.

                  I'll bet there's also a residual culture that just won't go to the legal weed -- either they'll regard is as a sell out or they won't really trust it. It would be interesting to know whether something similar happened at the end of Prohibition. Did people keep making their own and/or keep the ahem "local economy" alive? I'll bet they did. People are funny.

                    This video is awesome. If only there were some way to drill this into people's heads like the lies that have been drilled for 4 decades.

                      It's fantastic. It's so clean and clear. You really would have to be a knucklehead to not get it after this.

                      BTW, I have seen every one of these myths propounded on the Cafe over the years.

                      Robert Reich is a f-cking national treasure.

                        Except in this example Wendy's is the illegal choice. So at Wendy's you're paying less than you would for a much better meal, but more than you should have to pay for Wendy's because it had to be smuggled into the country and the sit down place obtained all their food legally and locally.

                          Hence the words, "the difference is."

                          This is an early, primitive stage in the bifurcation of the pot market into many prestige/quality niches. High pot is apparently already well served. Low pot still seeks a Lowest Possible Provider. It needs a Budweiser. There will always be a silt trap at the bottom of the market for the people who want the cheapest choice and don't give a sh-t about quality or aesthetics. There will always be homemade prison cigarettes.

                            Those myths have been effectively drilled into everyone's skull for 4 decades. Here and everywhere. They're still drilling.

                              Sure, but hitherto you needed years of history, sociology, and economics to figure out it was all bullsh-t. RR has the ability to present it honestly but also clearly. 90% of the clientele of an Applebees could understand this video. That's what makes him more effective than Herbert Marcuse.

                              Bernie is somewhere in the middle. He hasn't figured out that dressing like a stereotypical 60s stoner professor at N.Y.U. flips a lot of brains off before he even opens his mouth. As Bill Maher said, "buy a comb."
