You're wrong. Organized crime, even those involved in the illegal drug trade, will continue as it always has. As for the drug cartels, marijuana isn't their only cash cow. They've got a lot of fingers in California and they aren't going away just because California legalizes weed. Actually states like California have created a new market for illegal weed. Yep, smugglers will buy marijuana legally and distribute it to other non-legalized states for profit.

Wow, what a ludicrous comment to make. The states not supporting the legalization of marijuana for recreation use are more concerned about the health and well-being of their citizen population than they are about tax dollars from selling weed. While every state would enjoy more money, they all haven't allowed their greed to blind them to the ills of a schedule 1 drug.
