Does Legalization of marijuana have any impact on the black market?

Posted by Rex Martin on September 21st, 2017

Lots of spectators were thinking that legalization of marijuana will bring halt to the black market activities of the drug. However, all the weed dispensaries online which are illegal are still working in the market and the marijuana is still getting smuggled between the states without any hindrance or lack in the business.

“In June, Colorado prosecutors said they busted a 74-person operation producing 100 pounds of marijuana per month — enough to generate 0,000 monthly, tax free, for more than four years.”

This bubble gum cannabis oil or Marijuana for sale is seeing no road blocks or lacks in the business in spite of the legalization which has made the authorities concerned about their lack of control on the things.

“Legalization advocates have long argued that regulating marijuana forces the industry out of the shadows and into the public eye, where the drug can be taxed and the black market effectively eliminated.”

And the statement is supported by the border patrol where they say that, “Less marijuana is crossing the U.S. border, according to the U.S. Border Patrol. The agency's marijuana seizures dropped by almost half between 2011 and 2016, falling from 2.5 million pounds to 1.3 million pounds.”

There is still a gap and the biggest gap or loop hole for the cartels is the legalization system through states. Half of the states are still not supporting the usage because of which the cartels are getting more opportunities to buy the stuff and sell in the black market. Everyone has a different opinion as to what is the right way to stop this. Some are saying that legalization has given them cover to do anything where some are saying that it will reduce. What’s your take on the discussion?
