Easy, van rebuilds roads, weatherize the grid for Chicago, create new diverse overnight of cannabis, a wave of new jobs, build supermarkets and shopping centers for Chicago suburbs and build with parks and leisure in mind for neighborhoods. Build youth centers and recration centers. With these new taxes that will generate. Create a whole new ecosystem of tourist activity for Chicago. Where do all the taxes for alcohol go that the state collects, what is the budget for the City of Chicago. Hmm, but first have to abolish this lottery system for licensing. These types of lists and exclusion to create a business sounds unconstitutional hmm.... Food for thought.

You do not know what people are putting in in unregulated product to increase profits. Weed is not illegal. It was the tendency to distribute and sell unregulated that made it an issue. Most states have cleared up the bureaucracy. However its ironic that the reason there even is an opioid pandemic to begin with is because of the CIA and MKUltra.

every community deserves it, stop making everything about race... the fact is, the barrier to entry is way to high for people of all types. it can cost 20,000+ just to apply for a license and up to 1m to start a dispensary. how many people do you know with 1m laying around or 20k they can gamble with for a chance to get denied the license.

Right, 90% of the Weed stores are owned by big money here in Cali. Regular people can’t compete. It’s too expensive.

This is exactly why and how the extensive regulatory schemes fail to accomplish their goals and why the cannabis industry should be completely opened up with full, recreational legalization, not just decriminalization with central bodies enabling larger companies with lobbying power.

@BigHalfSteps3 жыл бұрын
I wonder if car wash companies also sell drugs that could potentially lead into chaos as marijuana impairs judgment, motor coordination and reaction time, causing accidents? Lottery isn't a good way, but they had to somehow restrict the overwhelming requests as granting everyone the right to sell marijuana would cause more access for people and thus harder to track said marijuana user back to the store owner. It's not that easy. It has to be a slow process, but not a lottery. But I guess this is more of a way for the government to say "Hey guys, we don't take favourites. It's all luck deciding, not who you are, what color you have or where you come from" as nowadays everything is called racism or sexism if it doesn't go your way and the only thing you're capable of is saying that you were mishandled because of your origin.
