I'd not have expected things to turn out any differently in the most highly taxed state in the country. Simple fact is, once they add all the taxes on (at every level), the illegal (street) pot is less expensive than the legal stuff. With the added bonus that the buyers now don't have to be worried about being busted for possession. And street pot is more convenient as well, because many local guvments have banned the legal pot businesses.

Liquor used to be sold through state-owned stores in Washington, and Costco and other big retailers successfully lobbied to change the law to take the state out and turn it over to private business. In the process, the state added so many taxes that booze is now significantly more expensive than before. The state Liquor Control Board makes as much as they did before, without the pesky overhead of actually selling the stuff. Nice work, if you can find it. Booze is much cheaper in our neighboring states, so people buy when they travel. Really cheap in Arizona- the snow birds bring it back by the case.

I have work in Longview occasionally, and have been known to sneak across the bridge to Rainier, Oregon. Its pretty convenient, because by extreme coincidence, there is a liquor store at the base of the bridge on the Oregon side. With boxes stacked by the door, because of high volume per customer sales. Go figger.

I know you said to keep politics out of it, but that's hard to do when politics is the reason for the situation.
