    Even if prices don’t fall that far, in many states, getting high could become cheaper than getting drunk.

Dude, getting high is already cheaper than getting drunk - if you cut the price of a g or an 1/8 over how many smokes you get out of it. The upfront investment for a quantity of marijuana is greater but it's not like you smoke an eighth in a sitting. (This works better with an 1/8 than a g, but think about it - $10 bucks for about 2 bowlpacks if we're talking a dimebag - that's going to get your average smoker high, maybe even high twice, and your non-average smoker is not going to be buying dimebags.)
