The irony of Marijuana legalization is that it was for the most part promoted by liberal folks, and made legal by legislation controlled by Democrats. Allow me to assume that the majority of liberals are Democrats etc. I'll speak about Oregon, because it's where I live and I know a little about what's going on. Now that weed is somewhat legal, the bureaucracy has taken control and made any and everything to do with growing or selling it as costly, and complicated as only God could imagine. I have a friend that is over four months into the process of opening a dispensary. Before he could start the process, he has to have a place of business. He has been paying $4,000 a month on a one year lease and he may not even get approved. He's about 50k into the project and they keep telling him that they are way behind. He has a small store in another town that he wants to close and move to the new bldg and has to pay the $4,000 application fee again as it is not transferable. The nonsense goes on and on. If you are a grower for others and grow over 12 plants, you have to submit to property searches, unannounced 24-7. This is only a tiny part of the **. People make costly decisions based on today's rules only to find them changed. I don't have a dog in the fight, but it just seems wrong. Maybe I was naive enough to believe Marijuana was legalized for the good of the consumer, rather than the state. Leave it to government to take a simple concept and make it too freaking complex and costly for JQ Public to participate in so the corporate world takes over. Rant over.
