As I predicted years ago. And the same politicians will begin to treat the legal product like tobacco and restrict its usage and tax it higher to “save the children “ etc.

Thus massively increasing more black markets. Sort of like today where most people buy it illegally already.

Politician stupidity. They never understand consequences.

That is what happened. CA taxes are so onerous that no one will pay them if you can get a better product in the alley for 1/3 the price.

Once it is in your hand there is no crime so there is no downside. Same for the seller. Tax evasion is the worst they can get.
