If they get hit hard financially from legalized marijuana shops, won't they just come in and extort them for protection money? Or just flat out destroying them or threatening the owners. These guys are not really into fair competition.

You need more "infrastructure" to blackmail all Californian weed shops than you need to sell weed. And police (except for federal police) can and will help shop owners. I doubt it's as profitable.
