Marijuana advocates told us that legalizing the drug would curb the black market. We’re still waiting. The opposite has happened in California, where a glut of illegal weed is undercutting legal purveyors. Now progressives are proposing an interstate compact to export their pot and rescue the industry.
California voters in 2016 approved a ballot measure allowing the cultivation, sale and possession of pot for recreational use. Marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug under the federal Controlled Substances Act, which means it has a high potential for abuse and is illegal to possess, manufacture and sell under federal law.
