What on earth makes you think that the pushers and buyers would actually follow tax or other regulation laws, given their demonstrated penchant for criminal activity?

Probably because the buyers & sellers of alcohol & cigarettes generally follow tax and other regulation laws. I don't drink or smoke anything, including wackybacco, but I do feel it is silly to keep the existing MJ laws on the books.

the price would be so low that the profit motive that keeps pushers with weak product or trash would stop and only the tobacco companies would have the dope so to speak. they are all ready to proceed with pot sales.

Al Capone and his boys didn't continue selling untaxed booze once prohibition was repealed.
The criminal activity was a consequence of the illegality of the product. You don't see beer distributors doing drive bys over territory.
