Sounds like the contrast between California's legal pot market and its pot black market. Legal, um, potteries statewide did like 3.6 million dollars last month (I think) and the black market at the same time did over 8 mill.

Seems it's a compliance-cost + overhead + licensing + you-can't-bank-transact-it thing.
This is after four years' notice, mind. Now is definitely not the hour to get into the booming pot biz. The state doesn't want to get into the details of regulation and ordinances too deeply, and the counties and cities are doing things piecemeal. Some counties are smokin' da kine, others are the equivalent of dry counties.

The mess is not being instantly resolved; short-term at least, this is very awkward.
