There is also a huge market for cannabis in "illegal" states. That's
apparently a giant issue in Colorado, where there are still black market
growers shipping their product to Florida. Legal growers won't do this
so they can stay legal.
Things probably won't settle out until the laws are more equal across
the nation. Don't hold your breath for that to happen (no pun intended).

There is still black market booze, huge numbers of black market
tobacco products. Taxes and regulations are always going to produce
black markets. Illionois just went to tobacco 21 and jacked taxes.
Stampless tobacco is all over the place now. I dont even know where
they get these, packaging looks legit, so maybe they just truck ot
from manufacturers
