Why Do 80% of the People in Hawaii Prefer Illicit Market Cannabis over State Licensed Legal Dispensaries?

This high figure isn’t particularly surprising, given that cannabis use for recreational purposes is still illegal in Hawaii and won’t be decriminalized until 2019. Nevertheless, individuals working lawfully in Hawaii’s marijuana sector contend that those figures are only that high due to the existing subpar “market structure and regulation.” High taxes are also one of the most cited reasons consumers purchase cannabis on the illegal market.
