There will always be criminals operating outside the law (which of course is what makes them criminals lol) that will continue to grow and sell illegally.</p>\n<p>Also a problem I foresee is the distribution and it reaching the hands (or lips) of minors (based on whatever the law deems minor). There are currently laws that prevent the sale of alcohol or tobacco to minors and yet we all know how effective those are (laughably so).
