I believe that states that have legalized have seen an explosion in the black market.

Why buy from the state when you can get it at half the cost?

Do you have any evidence in support of your belief?

In legalizing states, legal pot revenues are in the billions. And even if NO legal pot were being bought, this would mean at worst a maintenance of the black market, NOT an "explosion."
