Didn't know prices have skyrocketed since legalization. Damn shame.
Only if you buy legally, which most stoners don't even where it is 100% legal. It is cheaper than ever before in places that have legal weed if you buy on the black market.

When Colorado cautiously legalized recreational marijuana, critics strongly warned it would lead to more crime throughout the state. But, in what could easily be considered a big slap-on-the-face to all marijuana haters, the overall crime rate actually plummeted. As reported by the state’s official website, crime data for Denver, the hub of legal pot sales in the state, shows that murders, assaults, rapes, burglaries, and other violent have crimes actually declined during the first three months of the year, compared with the same period for 2013.
Though the overall reduction was only 10 percent, the impact is quite visible, claim proponents of marijuana consumption. According to the data obtained, homicides went down from 17 to 8, a massive 53 percent drop, automobile break-ins went down from 2,317 to 1,477 (36 percent), and sexual assaults from diminished to 95 from 110 (14 percent).
I did a quick google search and found the above.

If we make murder legal, the murder rate will go down

"Alcohol Use and Your Health
Drinking too much can harm your health. Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years.1,2 Further, excessive drinking was responsible for 1 in 10 deaths among working-age adults aged 20-64 years. The economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption in 2006 were estimated at $223.5 billion, or $1.90 a drink."
Directly from the CDC. Now, print this out, roll it into a ball, shove it up your arse and GTFO!

Is there a bill written anymore that isn't an acronym or named after someone?

Hopefully it gets written into law.

Look at the demographics of Colorado and then look at who commits crime.

In Colorado, you can find coupons in magazines that sell rec ounces for $100 including taxes. You can buy a $400 ounce from some places, kinda like a bud light will cost $2 at some places and $6 at others.
After 6 months, dispensaries were allowed to buy more of their product from outside, licensed growers. Combine that with additional, 100,000 + sq ft warehouse grow operations, and it's getting very cheap.
The higher prices had more to do with recovering startup costs than it did the taxes. There's still a small black market. But it's slowly dying.
Concentrates can get expensive. But this isn't your dad's old Moroccan hash. This new stuff is basically pure thc. Things like shatter and live resin will cost between $30 - 80. But live resin is a new extraction process, that will go will go down in price as it becomes more available.

I haven't read anything about this bill yet. But it will have a tremendous impact on states that already have medical marijuana. By the federal government now saying that medical patients can use marijuana, mmj patients will be exempt from the federal drug free workplace act. So if you have a prescription, you can't get fired for using, as you can now.

I would probably pay the premium on high quality recreational weed, assuming I couldn't get the same quality on the street w/o the taxes.
I'm a connoisseur/snob, so I might be an exception.

I'm not sure that would be the case for all industries, nor should it.

There is no premium. Not only is the black market weed way cheaper it is also way better.

And really, I can't think of any industry where I think it should be banned. If I had surgery tomorrow, and my doctor was either going to smoke or drink, I'd rather them choose the one that doesn't leave a hangover. And obviously, nobody should work stoned, unless you're a musician or in the NBA.
