a black (criminal) market immediately emerged

There was no black market prior to this?

>>There was no black market prior to this?<<

Not per se. The prior market was underground. My reference as to an ALTERNATE market to the “legitimate” one.

For example, there is a big cigarette black market due to the “sin taxes” that have made them so expensive.

At least those are my definitions.

The point is: as usual, the Law of Unintended Consequences will NOT be mocked.
