#2 Somehow this opportunity seems like it will end up being every bit as golden as a timeshare. Why would you want to buy a license to compete with unlicensed violent criminals? You might think that you would be buying a franchise where you could Google Hunter Biden’s GPS location and just tail him like you are a mobile canteen for getting high, but there will be 11 other dudes with the same idea and 5 of them won’t be licensed and will have done hard time. Only one of you will win the business and it won’t be the one that made the best presentation on Shark Tank.

#3 Why would you want to buy a license to compete with unlicensed violent criminals?

Doesn't seem to be working well in California. The legislature had to allocate millions of dollars to help dealers get licenses because, let's face it, if your getting high all day and raking in the money from selling illegal pot you don't want to mess with all that paperwork and you most certainly don't want to pay the taxes.

#4 Yeah. The original idea is a gummint creates a sound environment in which to conduct business and collects a reasonable tax in return for providing that.

What blue states have is nothing like that at all.

#6 ^ And by the time all the sky high taxes and fees are paid and the required security personnel are paid to protect all that cash and product, poof go the profits.

#7 It's a scam to map the distribution networks.
