I think you missed me saying there are still small, local brewing companies (that produce great products) just like there will always be small, local growers that survive. The ones who won't are the pretenders. To think big companies won't take over during legalization is a pipe dream, the only thing I care about is quality, regulated product. They could hand out cheap licenses to everyone I guess and just let it all go unregulated, but that won't happen either. Eventually it will be just like alcohol is today, which is the model that played itself out through competition. You can buy high quality wines, beers that cost more (and from more local companies) or you can buy lower quality budget stuff (which surprise, is much more popular than expensive stuff), either way it is still safe to consume. You will be able to do the same with weed. The only time I have an issue is when licenses are controlled through loopholes and unfair practices by States. To be honest though, no nationwide, big companies are going to move in until it is legalized Nationally because it's too large of a risk at the fed level.
