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?

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

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

Or it could fall.

Coulda fooled me with all the current, prison-risking drug dealers. And, according to you, many more eager to take their place upon their arrest.

It's not like they can't find a small profit activity in today's world.

"Or it could fall."

Based on what?

I say it would rise based on the University of Alaska study. What do you base your statement on? Wishful thinking?
