It is literally impossible for it to be Republicans. Even if there was a Republican governor the Democrats have a veto proof majority in both houses. This is ALL on the Democrats.
What went around before the bill was put up and what was proven in NY is the same corporations we have were signed on to a letter to lawmakers wanting to keep homegrowing out.
The Senator and Representative who have this bill have always been wishy washy about growing, letting it be too well known that they were willing to take it out. That is why they only put up 5 plants instead of 24 to negotiate down to 12 plants.
This is very typical Democrat politics. Make promises you don't plan on providing, and then as you show, blame Republicans for it. Same reason we don't have universal healthcare in spite of Democrat majorities with a Democrat president all making the promise. And yet they blame Republicans for that too.
Also here in IL the corporations wanted to be the only ones to get grow licenses, guess what else they get in this bill? Don't count on any craft growers happening in IL as promised in the future. The corporations will be claimed to be doing a good enough job while we're paying $70/8th.
I hope you remember when it comes time to vote that this is all Democrats doing this.
And BTW, without homegrowing there is nothing legalizing about this bill. Pass a joint to someone, you're a dealer. Give someone a variety you didn't like, you're a dealer. Have a hitter box in your pocket while driving, you've got illegal transportation. Want to buy some weed, go to the same monopolies who still can't keep up with a flood of 3000 new patients they new were coming for 6 months and are using that as an excuse for price increases.
Without homegrowing for patients of more than 5 plants in the recreational bill I do not support this BS.
