> they're not being ordered to destroy crops in order to support the medical marijuana price.

I didn't say, or suggest, that anyone was ordered to destroy crops?

They created too much supply, yes. Follow the logic chain out a step. If they wanted to sell it, they could lower the price...

Instead they _choose_ to keep the price above the black market price. The black market price which is already inflated far above production cost, by virtue of it being illegal.
