How many cannabis shops does Evanston have? If you tax them heavily those shops will be displaced by cheaper stuff coming from elsewhere. This already happens in cigarettes. I live near St Louis and Middle East types here deal in moving low tax cigarettes from St Louis to Chicago where cigarettes are taxed heavily. You can see the Middle Easterners buy shopping carts full of cigarettes at Sams, although most of the cigarettes are laundered through convenience stores they control. They guys could expand into cannabis. Occasionally they get busted and the perps have names like Omar, Mohammad, Ibid, Abu, Ismael,Etadm, Nasar, etc.
