Exactly.
Forcing a product in demand to an illegal supply chain creates a lot more serious problems than it solves.
Crazy right?
I totally agree with what you are saying, however whenever you involve the ,gov, they want their cut.
A number of States have legalized marijuana, however the State taxes on the marijuana only make the black market increase, not decrease. When you decide to apply a 110% tax on a questionably "Legal" product someone's going to cheat.
Think of it this way, If Al Capon was allowed to sell a $10.00 dollar bottle of whiskey in Chicago, but he had to charge $21.00 and give eleven to the State, how long would Al play along before selling his $10.00 bottles for $15.00 and make an additional profit and an increase in customers because he's the only guy with $15.00 bottles of whiskey?
The problem is with legalization, you have to have some non-greedy people with common sense and a far ranging view of economic cause and effect.
So that aint happening any time soon.
Yeah well common sense needs to prevail on taxation of a given product, or you get similar undesirable results.
Kephart mentions all of that in this:

He also mentions a lot more details in chapter XI on this guy than odmp cares to pass along.
