“So they finally legalize it and you trying to say they’re purchasing illegally grown pot and selling it through legal retail shops. You have evidence of this taking place?”

Your link doesn't say they’re purchasing illegally grown pot and selling it through legal retail shops. Here's what it does say:

"CT does not have to pay licensing fees, taxes, or other regulatory expenses. Over the past few years he’s dropped his rate for an eighth from around $50 to $30 to meet or beat the going price at Colorado dispensaries"

In other words: legal pot is cutting into illegal profit margins, and lightly taxed and regulated will do so even more.
