Maybe I am wrong and everyone would flock to the liquor store to buy MJ and not bother with growing it. But, I bet there would still be a helluva black market, just because people are so accumstomed to buying MJ from a dealer and a whole structure is in place already to black market MJ, if it became legal. I just can't see the state not wanting to conrol everything and make sure every smoker has paid their tax.

When Prohibition was introduced, I hoped that it would be widely supported by public opinion and the day would soon come when the evil effects of alcohol would be recognized. I have slowly and reluctantly come to believe that this has not been the result. Instead, drinking has generally increased; the speakeasy has replaced the saloon; a vast army of lawbreakers has appeared; many of our best citizens have openly ignored Prohibition; respect for the law has been greatly lessened; and crime has increased to a level never seen before.
