"If they could make a legal profit selling to adults, they'd have an economic disincentive to endanger that legal profit by elling to kids."

Sell to legal adults and make 10% profit, or sell to the illegal underage market and make, what, 1000% profit? 5000% profit?

Gee, what will they do?

Currently, the underage market represents 30% of all pot smokers. With legalization, that could rise to 50%.

Big market with a big mark-up.

Many (although not all) will prefer a smaller profit margin with no risk of prison.

Or it could fall.
