That's the problem with legalization/regulation. You're not wrong about your product, Kush, but if you let statists keep an inch, they're going to take a mile.

You're absolutely right.
It was awesome in Colorado when the Supreme Court basically legalized Medical Marijuana. Due to the court ruling, there was literally a near free market to marijuana business, with the exception being consumers needed to buy a $90 medical license to purchase marijuana.
At that time, the business was amazing, service was amazing. Prices plummeted, and state regulation was non-existent. For about 2-3 years the Marijuana industry flourished in a manner that truly made me proud of the free market. Then the state government got involved, and ever since then, prices went up, taxes went up, products began to be tightly controlled. Businesses were mandated to have absurd expensive chemical testing of their products. Once the government got involved, the black market sprang back up. And now, if you want the best deal for products, you must buy on the black market.
This is absolutely true. All the state's efforts have done is created a black market by driving up the costs of operations so high that the average person could never hope to afford to get into the legal market. Now people do what they did when it was illegal, grow the shit and sell it anyways.
The FDA has recently just approved another verision of synthetic cannabinoid in a liquid form...ya know like the synthetic cannabinoids used in "synthetic marijuana" the stuff that has been sending people to the hospital in masses and killing countless others......I can only imagine how much money went into producing this fake chemical and worse the cost to the patient....the government would rather see people die then have to admit that the laws on marijuana are ignorant and wrong and need to be changed...they just fear the countless people in jail some for life for possessing marijuana a natural grown herb
