I imagine the path of alcohol and wine will give us a road map for future regulatory of marijuana. Let's say for talking purposes that it's no longer a schedule 1, what kind of regulatory capture and manipulation will be required to keep cheaper states from exporting to those with more expensive tax dollars?

> I imagine the path of alcohol and wine will give us a road map for future regulatory of marijuana I don't think this is a safe assumption. Prohibition intersected with the Great Depression and the Constitution. The latter is key; Section 2 of the 21st Amendment expressly gives states the right to regulate the "transportation or importation" of "intoxicating liquors". Marijuana has no such Commerce Clause [2] override.
