The price would also DROP. The price of ALL illegal drugs is inflated by enormous margins, BECAUSE it is illegal and is a black-market item, just as the price of alcohol rose during prohibition.
If it were legitimized, the price would drop, and the government would have a HUGE new source of tax revenue.
We would also stop incarcerating thousands of non-violent, harmless people whose only "crime" was being in possession of a naturally-occurring PLANT.
There would be no losers, only winners.

Ever see stoners with a bad case of the munchies in a grocery store? I have...If I owned the store I would have been ticked off...seen them swipe a lot of stuff. And like boozers they are going to drive...and unless you live in the middle of nowhere impared reactions will lead to an accident...many accidents in fact.
