Not at first. They’ll undercut teacher salaries until there are no teachers left to fall back on, and then they’ll charge as much as they want.

Wouldn’t it be best to legalize it altogether then? Who benefits from decriminalization?

Could you explain the semantic difference for me?

I can add that the same is true for south America and Japan. I don’t have an explanation for it, but the quality and taste is consistently worse in the USA compared to my experiences elsewhere. Incidentally, KFC is almost inedible in the USA, but quite good in Japan for example. Maybe it’s related.
