I don't disagree, it is a broken system.
The 200+ hopefuls got shafted by an anti mj gov and so did patients at every turn.
i know what it takes to build a business and invest profits back in, I understand both sides of the lp argument. I just see things from a broader perspective.
The only thing I really disagree with is the advantage part.
A cc is local to those who use them or close enough to visit for the most part, they're selling product that was not subject to the overhead costs of running an lp nor subject to the regulations.
They do have an unfair advantage not to mention the legality factor, if that were my investment, I'd be pissed.
I have no problems with cc's dispensaries or any other way to obtain. If the playing field gets levelled for everybody I think that's the best, and most rational outcome.
How that can or will happen, I don't know.
