It predicts that once marijuana is federally descheduled, states will need to compete on an even footing, leading to consolidation in the industry. Goldstein argues that lower production costs will dictate market survival, favoring states with established production ecosystems like California over those burdened with high operating costs. The analysis highlights the importance of efficiency, scale, and lower prices in determining which states will thrive after legalization.
