that depends on how much the government is willing to screw over their public.
given their track record, i'd say street dealers have a long prosperous career still ahead of them. street dealers aren't paying taxes on it now, why would you assume they would in the future?
it is a no win situation for the feds. if they legalize and try to tax it to death, legalization (government controlled business) will fail. If they don't legalize and be cool about it, the black market continues to thrive. if they come down on medicinal use, they are viewed as evil, if they don't do anything, their war on drugs continues to be a sham.
there is no "win" to be had. why do you think they hate marijuana so much.
