Will they stop selling marijuana and move to stronger drugs or just stop all together?

Nothing will change. Prop 19 is meaningless, because Federal law overrides it.
They will become legitimate business men.
And they’ll have to start answering their phone calls quicker lest I go to the 7-11 and buy some there.
I doubt anything will change. The Federal government is having, in plain terms, a shit-fit over it. I believe it will greatly reduce crime, as what person who has smoked weed really wants to go out and kill someone?
It should be treated like any other substance. You can’t drive under the influence.
A few will switch to selling harder drugs (some already do) while others will target high schoolers (people who can’t legally buy marijuana). Some will go into the business legally and grow their own, while others will simply walk away from it altogether.
I think more dealers will go legit than will turn to harder drugs.
If prop 19 passes and marijuana becomes legally available for lots of stores to sell it’ll create a lot of competition amongst sellers which will drive prices down to a point where illegal sellers aren’t even compensated for taking a risk of getting caught.
What they’ll turn to then will depend on them and the opportunities they see in society. They *might* want to move to stronger drugs but their success at that will depend on the demand that exists for those drugs.
The most likely thing to happen to marijuana dealers if Prop 19 passes is for them to have to find a new line of work. Many will resort to crime due to their inability to find work based on criminal records or simply due to a mixture of the recession and often being from impoverished neighborhoods.
Similar to those involved in illegal alcohol trade during prohibition the positions held once no longer needed will dissipate.
