    Don’t even need them to be fully illegal to have black market demand. Eric Garner was selling loose (untaxed) cigarettes when the state executed him on the street in 2014. There’ll be demand for any black market no matter how apparently trivial the prohibition or unappealing the product, especially if the product is addictive.
