Free Report | California Market Report: Illicit Market Woes

In the two years that recreational marijuana has been legal in California, success in reducing and eliminating the illicit market has been lackluster, due in part to new state and local regulations, new taxes and a supply chain that is still finding its footing.

It’s not as though this huge illicit market popped up overnight when legal sales began in January 2018. Rather, it evolved over decades. As of February 2020, the state’s Bureau of Cannabis Control had roughly 2,500 open investigations into reported illegal marijuana shops and delivery services.

Topics in this report include:

  • Marijuana sales from 2018, with projections through 2023
  • Comparison to other states’ marijuana sales in year two
  • Overview of the drivers of California’s thriving illicit market
  • Analysis of the effects of the illicit market
  • What to watch in California

In this report, MJBizDaily provides a macro perspective on how the illicit market is contributing to the underperformance of the legal market.
