Marijuana in Colorado is currently selling for $41 an ounce.
It was $100 an ounce when it was illegal* when I was in high school in the late 1980s. Adjusting for inflation, it would have been $240 an ounce in 2022 dollars when I was in high school.
And, the quality is much, much better now than it was then, even before considering the fact that you no longer have to risk being arrested.
* Yes, I know that it remains an illegal Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, although there is an official policy of not prosecuting those offenses in most circumstances in Colorado, and President Biden has adopted a national policy of not prosecuting mere marijuana possession offenses.
