In a perfect world, that's how it should work. But you know as well as I do what happens when the big money players move in. They don't give a fuck about you and me, and will walk all over our rights so that they can make even more money. If I hadn't seen this story play out in this country a 1000 times over, I might trust these guys a bit. As it stands, I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.it's a store. farm markets are factory outlets. I prefer a store for both purchase as a patient and sale as a distributor. I give 25+ hours a week to growing, I don't want to also give up 12 hours of my weekend with the kids and wife at a market. its my opinion. mom and pop stores exist for everything still and so does walmart without much issue. I wouldn't even begin to regulate your grow with these laws, I don't want that either. I like budweiser, and I prefer Bell's but I also brew at home. bud uses tons of $ to keep Bell's interests and their own in political minds and I brew beer at home without regulation. This is how I would like to see marijuana with those choices for consumers. big guys like BUD little guys like Bell's and other micro-brews and room for the home brewer to do his thing.
I hope that you're right C&T, and everybody plays nice, but there is BIG time money to be made here. These players already have boat-loads of cash to buy political favor in Lansing, and they won't hesitate to bend us over if it means they will benefit from it. Any time there is this much money at play, you have to be suspicious.
I mean, a friggin Republican is introducing the bill!! If that doesn't stink then I don't know what does.
