Me, on the other hand, im just gonna grow my own and share with family and friends.

Cigs are legal too, are taxed the hell out of and bootlegging IS ILLEAGAL. So what do you think? The cost is set at what the market will bear, yes, drug dealers are economists too!
The market is already set at what people will pay for it, so why would the people growing it, sell it for less? Then add in taxes. Alcohol is the same, luxury taxes are great ain't they?
So price as we know it may go down for what a grower sells for, but the actual cost to buy it legally in a store would go up if the government is involved, which they would be.. count on it.
Also, you would contend with your same dealer anyway who is likely going to raise his price to come closer to what they are in the store.
It's basic capitalism and economics. The price would increase to buy in stores as the market will bear the price as it's shown in a dry market.
