And with most states having reduced possession punishments, more people are going to buy it illegally because they know there's no jail time, it'lll just be a fine.

So if people are going to do it, legalize it and tax it like every other product. I'd prefer the tax go just to fund substance abuse centers for real drug users, but just like most states legalizing lotteries to fund education, I doubt that would happen.

I don't know.  I visited some dispensaries on vacation in Seattle, and what immediately stood out was the wide selection of various strains.  Everything was clearly labeled and you knew exactly what you were getting.  On the black market, you don't have that choice (beggars can't be choosers).  At those prices, I would have absolutely no problem going to the weed store, just like I go to the liquor store to buy good booze.
