Falling pot prices create winners and losers. Because state taxes are
based on a percentage of the sales price, declining prices mean each

from it, low prices will be a welcome but minor benefit; precisely
because they consume modest amounts, the price declines are only a
modest win. On the downside, young people tend to be price-sensitive
consumers, and their use of inexpensive pot may rise over time, as might
that of problematic marijuana users.
