WASHINGTON: Mark Kleiman, a public policy professor at the University of California, Los Angeles,...said the black markets survival has less to do with taxes than with a shortage of legal stores. Colorado has more than 160 state-licensed stores, but they remain concentrated in the Denver area. Many towns dont have any. When there are more stores and more products in the stores and prices settle down, then well see, Kleiman said. I would be very surprised if the illicit market can compete at all.
