cultivators, processors, wholesalers, retailers and delivery services will all be licensed separately, and no one can have more than 1 license, they are saying. And they are giving licenses to people who have been convicted of marijuana offenses first.


I should apply for one!!




When would legal marijuana sales begin?
The timeline for dispensaries to open and sales to kick off remains distant. The law doesn’t provide a specific timeline, but the first sales aren’t expected until at least 2022.

Officials must first determine how the industry will operate, from the regulation and taxation of sales to the allocation of licenses for cultivators, processors, wholesalers, retailers and delivery services.

A new state Office of Cannabis Management and Cannabis Control Board will craft and oversee the new regulations.

As a gardener it's just so disappointing. The regulatory hoops just stigmatize ordinary people for growing a plant. I can buy breadseed poppy seeds and grow them even though the DEA has banned them. You only get into trouble if you scarify the seed pods and collect the latex that oozes out. Obviously if I planted an acre of them it would provoke scrutiny. But it's so inconsistent.
Has anyone ever been charged or fined for going over arbitrary limits by one or two plants? I tried to find that info about ontario and couldn't find any. I did find some that went over by hundreds of plants lol. Weed is getting so cheap here that it's hardly worth growing unless you enjoy it as a hobby.

Funny thing just happened. Edibles start to kick in. A knock at the front door. Look outside, 3 police cars. Nothing to worry about but can't help the feeling of paranoia. Check my eyes in the mirror. My clothes and hair probably reeks. Thinking they know I am stoned. Turns out they are checking out an alarm down the street. Peace restored.

What a buzzkill!

OMG, I had that happen a few years back....I noticed a state police SUV coming up my driveway, and by the time I got to the door a 2nd one was pulling in. I instantly panicked and thought for sure they were here to arrest me...I was trembling...And they were just here for a "safety check" as someone had reported a stranger wandering around near my house, supposedly. :o

And they claim they are trying to make it equitable among the races, but yeah, I think taxation is their big thing....Which has me baffled as to why they are allowing these illegal stores to operate, that aren't even collecting sales tax.

“The state and the OCM keep saying they want to include and incentivize legacy people to enter the legal market,” Waterman said. “Putting out a bill to stop legacy operations before releasing applications for licensing is disgraceful, and truly shows where lawmakers stand when it comes to the legends that created the cannabis industry without ever asking for their support.”

I don't know how you guys do it. I'd be a ball of nerves every time I heard a siren.
