Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
My opinion is that legal weed will be a huge bust in IL as tokers mostly choose to call up their local dealer and purchase tax free, and like Amazon, often with free delivery. Fewer than 30 dispensaries selling 1/4’s for $100 buck, and having to show ID, go through security, and paying insane taxes will be a total turn off. Quite frankly, they can’t compete with the cartel, or the stoner who buys in bulk in CO.
