Excellent observations Wettibe.
And all these celebrities pay top dollar for this stuff. And by doing so, they help keep the prices high for the rest of the users too. It is all an enormous source of income for organized crime.
The solution, of course, is decriminalization. Take away the risk of possession and low level distribution and the profit motive goes away. Focus on dragging down the distributors by taking their money away from them. Keep everyone out of jail.
Vote yes on proposition 19. I'm not enthusiastic about legalizing pot, but legalizing it will destroy the criminal underground of trafficking and the vast sums of money collected for it. The blow against organized crime that this will wield is really hard to imagine. The street prices are bound to plummet to nothing the minute legalization takes effect. The "medical marijuana" license to get stoned will evaporate overnight.
