Even if it happened the the price of a craft license will be unaffordable to the average person.
Probably have to get zoic and a few others to combined finances and forces to be able to obtain this phantom license.
Basically you will need LP kind of money for this to really happen.
Security measures alone will have your head spinning.

I apologize if im wrong (dont have time to read link again) but I believe the whole point of adding these licenses is so that average ppl will be able to afford the licensing fees.

And does it not talk about exclusions to the super crazy security and most other costs?

Time will tell.
But I’m pretty sure the average cost will blow people’s mind.
If your selling and growing for the public
You can bet your ass security and testing of product will set you back.
Testing alone is expensive.
Hopefully your right .

From what I'm reading, the research, micro or nursery licenses will scale processes and security to the size of the operation. Of course all of this will need to be tested/clarified but to me it sounds like the smaller licensed operations will simply require a business plan, basic security, and processes in place to suit a smaller operation, meaning much simpler and less costly than say an LP (Standard under the new guidelines). Cost of the license itself will be peanuts compared to getting setup to do business. Regardless of size, you cannot run any of these businesses in your basement. Rent & utilities will be one of your higher costs of doing business once it's running, setup (including the license) will cost the most initially but that can be accrued over time, typically 5 years. Can't see one of these small operator licenses costing more than a few hundred myself, a small portion of what it will take to get any business up and running.

Like I said time will tell.
I think it’ll be more expensive then people think just cuz if it’s not imagine how many mom and pop shops there would be on one block.
How would you be able to stay in business when there are 12 shops on one block.

For sure, we'll need to wait for HC to publish more details. However, I don't think they'll be pricing licenses to deter having too many applicants, that's for the market to sort out, the industry will sort the winners and losers, not regulators. Their concerns around licensing will be to have registered businesses that follow the laws/guidelines and pay for the cost of administering the program (and taxes!).

I checked around and haven't seen any updates to that proposal document they released in November. It's just wait & see for now, lots of time to put together a business plan in the meantime.

It is really a simple question to answer. The companies that succeed are the ones that promote their product based on quality and service. Price is usually a lesser criteria for most. Would you buy the $12g/ primo top shelf or would you buy the $6/g OK stuff that you need to smoke twice as much to get there. Would you rather buy from a company that ships right away, or when they get around to it. Businesses need to be more innovative or they will stagnate with the rest of the status quo.

If you want to know what the markets going to be like here in the future take a look at the video on YouTube.. The daily grind #217 brown guy 420.
This guy is where we all want to be and he’s finding out the hard truth after a hard season of growing so many pounds and a very flat market.
The businesses that tag there dope at right prices weather it’s kush or not are going to succeed.
Great video if anything.

First thing, if you get a craft growers license you can only sell to LPs. So umm yeah, not much customer service or setting price points will be happening.

I don’t believe so.
You’ll be able to sell to public from a store front.
Again time will tell.

You think Marc Emery is fighting to sell to LP’s lol. No He wants to fight to sell his own out of a legal dispensary.
