it's hard to say, yes? if an activity is illegal, it stands to reason that there'd be not alot of data about the actual economy, but only about stuff like arrests and maybe another register about supply that the dea or local cops would know about---but even there, there are real problems of data sharing and compatibility.
i would think that california would be interesting to get actual data about. and i would think that while there might be a rise initially, in the short-to-medium run, you'd probably see levels of purchase level out. that's what i think would happen anyway.
as for usage rates and amounts, i don't know how you'd measure that in any context.
