Black market dealers and legal dispensaries with store fronts do not have the same overhead. A 100% retail markup isn't out of line for an in-demand product.

I'll pay extra not to have to worry about the law. You also get a business that should be standing behind it's product. They are subject to consumer laws I would hope.

It is when you can pay a third of the price on Craigslist.

Cheap weed is easily available and these new businesses are trying to attract new customers from a base that is by and large happy with their current source. You can't do that with an inferior product at 3 times the price. Again, it's not overhead it's the 80% tax. The state got greedy (no surprise). If they don't drastically reduce the tax, these stores WILL fail.
