There are different degrees of "Terry" out there in this business.

The small Terry who meets random people/youth in a parking lot for a $30 sale is going to be in trouble and will likely be phased out quickly.

The older, long time, established Terry who sells to only a close group of friends/customers in larger amounts aren't going to be all that concerned with this until they see what kind of price points they are up against for ounces and larger quantities etc.

I have a friend in the second group who gets asked questions about this frequently lately and he is under the impression that he may be able to raise his prices on "bulk" product and still blow the legal market out of the water.

None of these questions are going to be answered until we start to see the quality level and price points the legal shops are selling at. Price is still king and the 2nd Terry is going to stick around and maybe even grow if the legal shops are selling at the kind of price points the legal US markets are selling at.

I think we could see 2 different markets emerge, one for the "weekend warriors" buying small amounts to use on weekends will stick to the legal shops. Long time habitual users buying in larger amounts will stick with their "Terry" that they have been doing business with for years.

Im very interested to see how it all plays out in the coming weeks/months.
