I've heard through a few different people they are going to crack down hard on the online guys. There's a pretty huge grey area, and if the government is going to charge what I think they're going to charge for taxes, it would make sense to go after people operating in this grey area that don't pay any taxes whatsoever.
To put it in to perspective, I know guys that sell at around $2/gram in the black market. The government (supposed) tax level is $7/gr, and that's just TAX. So if the online guys are allowed to operate it's a massive amount of tax revenue the government loses, and if there's one thing the government loves it's collecting taxes.
I would be shocked if there isn't a huge crackdown on grey market sales.
I would also be shocked if there isn't huge weed shortages, and people do it anyway through a storefront.
It's a total sh--show. No one REALLY knows what's happening, not even the government.
