Just as people don't buy tomatoes on the black market... the tax burden is set at just the right level, making it the most rational choice from a market perspective to simply pay the tax.

But that is not the case yet. It seems that prices for legal cannabis are generally lower than those on the black market. Cannabis is extremely easy to grow (much like tomatoes), which gives large-scale producers a massive advantage And the data confirms this: 75% of the cannabis in Canada today comes from the legal sector. For people to start returning to the black market, the tax burden would have to increase two-to threefold, to the level of tobacco.

100% ad 2) Yeah, legalization these days mainly means just another billions dolars in tax revenue for the state budget

The fact that you see cannabis only as a drug, and blame the plant for people's misuse of it, says a lot about your worldview. Try educating yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwInbPZwcqk

Indeed, Singapore is the worst country in the world for cannabis users. They even test their own citizens returning from abroad. It’s disgusting. https://cannabisfreedom.fyi/country/sg/

Cannabis prohibition is one of the clearest examples of government overreach. A harmless plant turned into a criminal offense, with millions of lives affected by the state's obsession with control. https://cannabisfreedom.fyi/
