[Canniseur: The black market won’t evaporate when adult use cannabis is legal in a state. As a parallel example, when alcohol was made legal again in 1933, it took almost 2 decades for the illegal market to shrink below the legal market for alcohol. The states where adult use cannabis is legal, expected the black market to go away. People have relationships with their dealers going back years, if not decades. Why would they end their relationship, especially when the price is about the same and the quality is sometimes better? The issue is hugely complex.]
