Do you really think everyone is going to buy it and pay tax on it just because its legal? Just because its legal doesn’t mean the guy on the street corner can just sell it whenever, it will most likely be like alcohol and you will need to get a license to even sell it. And that drug dealer on the corner isn’t going to give up his job of selling it.

Difference is, making it illegal to buy/sell without a license, or buying from someone without a license means that people will be more inclined to go to someone who has the license to grow/sell vs risk getting in trouble buying off some dude on the street.
