The black market won't disappear overnight but it will significantly erode within 3-5 years. Especially after Summer 2019 when edibles and extracts become part of the legal supply chain. Up until now the black market had a leg up because they were the only ones to supply the adult-use market and carried a variety of products. When legalization hits this year they aren't the only supplier anymore and when edibles/extracts become legal in 2019, then they have to compete for that share as well.
