Alright I read the thing.. yeah they report a 3x increase in the black market. It sounds like it's a direct consequence of the surplus. I think this is just the market settling out. Everyone got in on the gold rush, which works out great for me, but not so much for every grower. Still, I have a hard time looking at any of this as a bad thing. I'm sure my city is loving their 10%+ tax revenues and there's a store popping up on every block, providing employment, and the stores aren't even corporate conglomerates just yet.

And the cop said no jury is going to convict for illegal growing.
