Then apparently Washington got it wrong. They taxed it to the point that it will keep the black market alive. Colorado isn’t having those problems. Maybe Washington will learn.

If the tax structure is done right the cartels won’t have a choice, they will simply be priced out of the market. Just like after Prohibition. And it won’t just be in a few stores, it’ll be every place that sells beer or smokes. Of course if the tax structure is done wrong all bets are off. That’s the nature of government, able to screw up even when doing the right thing.

Oh and can the insults. If you have facts stick to them, name calling is for people that lack facts.

If you think the government spent a lot of effort on stopping illegal use, wait until you see what they will do when they think they are missing out on taxes.
