One of the principle reasons for legalization of pot is that criminalization failed to suppress demand and consumption. For the government to take away customers from the black market, they'll have to beat the black market.

One basic factor that you're not considering is that not all pot is created equal.
Not that the pot you're buying from 'Terry' is crap but you really don't know what you're getting other than if it's an indica or a sativa but that's about it.
Buying from a retail outlet, you have the choice of strains, strengths, flavours, etc. Not to mention vapourizing products, shatter, edibles.
Take a look at some of the online sites. I think you'll be surprised by the choices.
At least that's what a friend told me.
