It is a shame, soon the cost will be as high as antibiotics, 2 dollars a pill! I read in the paper, a man explained how taxes came about & it's who is the real land owers that we pay taxes to. Not much different from the old days in England & the King was paid then. Maybe the idea here is if it's too expensive, only the rich will have the advantage.

Taxes Will Reduce The Cost of Medical Marijuana

I know it seems counter-intuitive, but taxing medical marijuana will help to reduce the cost in the long run. Taxation will help to normalize the industry, and will result in more production and competition, which will help bring medical marijuana down to reasonable prices.
