File this one under "California just doesn't get it, again:"

California's cannabis market is booming nearly five years after voters legalized recreational weed. But there's a catch: the vast majority of pot sales are still underground.

Rather than make cannabis a Main Street fixture, California's strict regulations have led most industry operators to close shop, flee the state or sell in the state's illegal market that approaches $8 billion annually, twice the volume of legal sales.

Well, well. What's that line that liberals always have about marijuana?

How's that working out in beautiful sunny California?!
