Just assuming, just, if pot is legalized we’d have one of the strictest and most enforced laws to keep street sales illegal.
No more peddlers tolerated, strictly, with steep fines for violators.
Politicians, primarily locals, will follow their urge to protect the masses for the purpose of collecting taxes, taxes, and some more taxes, then do some additional protecting by taxes, but short of negatively affecting “legal” sales.

Since almost all of the legalization proposals simply allow people to grow it, there is generally no tax revenue involved. That’s a good thing.
You folks ARE generally anti-tax, right? lol
