The state is really pushing the social justice angle here. First they offered priority access for minorities to licenses. That didn’t work. Next, Light foot suggested the city suggested a city owned co-op to grow the weed. Then today I hear that the state is going to offer low interest loans. What’s next, free product to minorities? Isn’t that what the CIA did in the 1980’s when it smuggled crack into the inner cities? Peddled free goods until they got hooked?
