I'm sure some black market activity will remain because of the tax rate, but I'm also sure most middle- and upper-class people would prefer to pay more for their weed at a legal venue than risk arrest by buying from a black market dealer.

There also exists a black market for cigarettes because of taxes, but the vast majority of smokers buy cigarettes legally because it is easier and safer and runs no risk of arrest.
