States that Legalize Cannabis\u00a0see a big reduction in price. \u00a0States where recreational marijuana use is legal also have cheaper prices. \u00a0the price of an ounce ranges so widely from that someone who smokes an ounce a month can move from Tampa to Portland, Ore., and save enough money for a year\u2019s worth of Xbox online to enhance the experience.<\/p>\n

In four states where pot has been legalized or decriminalized\u2013Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Alaska\u2013the price of an ounce has fallen below $300, compared with the nationwide average of $324, according to TreePrice.com<\/a>, a site where users can anonymously submit the cost of weed in their area purchased either from the black market or legally through a dispensary.<\/p>\n

In Washington D.C., where marijuana became legal for recreational use in March but where commercial sale is still illegal, the price of an ounce of weed still costs $346.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty obvious that legalization is squeezing out the black market, which is bad news for drug cartels and good news for law-enforcement who\u00a0want to focus on violent crimes.<\/p>\n
