Legalizing MJ never got rid of the illegal market. I can remember arguing with so many people here on HN before it was legalized in CA and CO. Last I heard, the illegal market is booming in california and putting legal businesses under because they can undercut the prices. Mostly because they don't have to follow any regulations or pay taxes. Which also brings up the fact that the state is not getting the tax money it should. I feel like proponents want legal drugs with no regulations or taxes...which will never happen.
