The biggest threat to the legal cannabis market is that the illegal underground market will continue growing. There are no rules that these illegal growers and sellers have to follow to protect the environment, their customers, the public, or the legal cannabis’ future market. Users can safeguard the legal market by not buying from illegal dealers, even if their prices are lower, and instead buying from legal dispensaries in their area.
The danger of buying cannabis from illegal retailers:
Organized crime groups use the money from unlawful cannabis sales to fund other illegal activities that hurt our communities. When you buy from illegal online retailers, your personal information ends up in the hands of criminals. This makes you vulnerable to fraud, identity theft, and other financial crimes.
Always buy from legal sources:
You can only be sure that cannabis products are clean if you buy them from legal dispensaries that can prove they have been tested in licensed, independent labs. Certified farmers grow genuine products in the legal dispensaries, so it is pretty much a guarantee that you aren’t consuming cannabis grown in forests where creeks are polluted with illegal fertilizers and pesticides. Edibles, vaping, and other concentrates will come from licensed manufacturers, so you can be sure that all the volatile, dangerous hydrocarbons are no longer there. Your body and lungs are at stake, and the safest products will only come from legal dispensaries.
Taxes on legal cannabis:
Taxes on legal cannabis are a big reason why we have legal cannabis, even though no one likes taxes. Each state decides how to spend this tax money, but the list of things it pays for is long and essential for keeping support for the cannabis industry: schools, health care, drug education and prevention, equity programs to help people hurt by the War on Drugs get into the cannabis industry, environmental programs to fix up illegal sites for growing cannabis in the national forests.
Final Thoughts:
Consumers can do a lot to protect their hard-won right to buy and use cannabis legally. When it gets harder for the illegal market to sell their goods, they will also be more likely to join the legal market. The more legal sellers there are, the more will be the competition to keep the prices of their products low, even with the taxes that are needed to protect against unfair, illegal competition and to educate and treat kids when required to keep them safe.
