> thus black market weed is considerably cheaper.

In Canada I can order weed online (gray market, online isn't "allowed"), it shows up in a a week or so. I also get an email when they have sales (30-40%).

Why would I bother doing the song and dance with a dealer, and I prefer edibles; good luck getting those with a set amount of THC.

Sorry to sound a bit harsh, but people here are a bit clueless to how price sensitive a huge number of people are.

Sure, on a software engineer salary, I think you'd be crazy too to go on the black market. But as it's not hard to find lots of stories about how the black market is thriving in areas where weed is legal. Canada in particular has been in the news lately because the black market is actually the vast majority of total sales.
