The black market still exists because they made the taxes so
high.
The cannabis coming from south of the border does not have the
same (or any) quality/potency controls.
Yes. They are worried about losing revenue.
What they don't understand (yet) is if they lower the duty/taxes
on cannabis, the legal volume will go up and make more revenue.

News article about some pot mixed with peppers being

Officials said:
Not only did they prevent the drugs from reaching our
community, they also prevented millions of dollars of
potential profit from making it into the hands of a
transnational criminal organization."
The first half of that does not make any sense to me
because California now has a vested interest in these so
called “drugs” from reaching the community via official
channels.
The second half seems like it is more about the state
losing the profit?
How is it worth the risk to import pot into a state that
has recreational pot? Is there a market for black market
pot?
