If marijuana were legal how much cheaper will it be?

You ought to put a poll with price per pound
I would vote $1500 per pound

no one can know for sure...and this is a dumb question because even if weed is cheap in california it will not be cheap in texas or half the other states.
but i see it being around canada prices...1000-1500 for outdoor...2-3 for indoor depending on quality...with 2 being regular indoor green and 3 being top shelf OG kush.

I agree with Yes4Prop215. Your questions are too broad. Prices will be different from state to state. And even within one state, prices will be different from community to community depending on supply and demand, all of which will fluxuate. There are alot of factors to consider that will affect price as well.

It's gonna still be free for most of the people on this website....hehehe. =) =)
think about how much a bottle of wine costs....
standard drinking wine (not the expensive shit) at home, I spend anywhere from 7ish-20 per bottle.
there's about 4 glasses in a bottle. So two glasses for two people usually.
figure a gram can last one stoner a sesh, or two people moderately enjoying their dinner with a show.
I figure prices will stabilize at what people are actually willing to pay.
If I'm willing to drop $10 on a bottle, why not grab a gram of some OG for another $10 and make it a special night....
this allows the boutique mom n pop growers the ability to grow high quality indoor and still support themselves, however you wont see em rollin around in Ferraris. There will be "two buck chuck" still (cheap shit thats massss produced) and it will even probably win a few awards.... people will still be willing to drop the $10 for the dank home grown 'local' organic stuff at the farmers market.
so given markup considerations, I think Yeson215's estimates are good, if legal across the board, it will perhaps go a little cheaper, but still completely reasonable in a small business sense.

Get yourself about eight feet of three inch diameter hollow brass,attatch it really good to the floor and ceiling,put Wildside or Girls Girls Girls on the juke box and you've got yourself a pole.(poll)
Joking
i just spent close to 2k on my grow and im about to drop another 2k...i hardly think its "free".....even outdoors you gotta factor in nutes, soil, and time...

Depends on how it is all regulated. Considering I can get shitty mexi-brick for $50 an oz I guess the prices will start there. If the market tries to over inflate the price then that shitty weed being smuggled over the border (I'm pretty sure more is grown locally than smuggled these days, depending on where you are) will reappear. The only prices they will be able to keep overpriced are the same ones that are overpriced today; Commercially grown genetics.
The real wildcard in all this is the taxes that will be applied.

I would say the question depends on just exactly how legal it becomes. If it becomes legal at all it will be because politicians want to make profit off of it. If so they'll want to keep the cost high and really clamp down hard on black market channels. Now if they make it legal to grow and use at your own discretion then I think it would become cheap like it was back in the 70's when weed was so plentiful. It would be near impossible to control unless you had the resources to monitor everyone, closely, all the time.

Yes4Prop215; I knew someone was going to say that! Of course, a professional operation is not a free endeavor; anyone with a pulse can see that. You folks put a /shit//load/ of cash into your grows (and probably make out with a shit load too...).
I only meant to imply, as Dr Tre said, that for the hobbyist grower/cannaphile, a nice, small patch of quality pot should pretty much be easily generated for a nominal fee. Think about it, people are growing this stuff in rubbermaid tubs; if you can harvest an ounce that way, you've already doubled the value (or more) or one of those setups.
No 'fense cap'n, but ye know what I mean! Cheers.

Yup, guys, let's be honest - our product is not worth its weight in gold.
Only because gold has become so much more valuable in recent years. It wasn't very long ago when our product was worth it's weight in gold. Back when gold was only worth about $600 per ounce.
i think prices will drop slightly. finally weed will be reasonably priced
I mean it shouldn't.Current prices are a combination of illegal status+overhyped rumour.Come on, guys, this season I harvested enough bud to support my habit and spend less than 20 eur
Well to get those prices you have to go to the right areas. Like in California you might not see prices that high because so man people are growing that demand is mostly satisfied by supply. In the NE though prices are highr because demand is greater then supply.
Me personally, I only pay the cost of materials and electricity but that still ends up being a pretty high price. If I could grow outdoors though then my cost would be next to nothing, like tomatoes as you pointed out earlier.
Hopefully if it ever gets legalized across the country we'll see the return of ounces of top of the line primo weed selling for $35 an ounce and $90 for a quarter pound, like it did in the 70's
