I feel like the smart thing to do instead of wasting money on bribes is to invest in the new markets before they're legal. The booze companies are already cozy with state regulators and have the logistics to get everything off the ground post legalization. Some even have age restricted venues (taprooms, pubs, etc) where they can sell directly to consumers and reduce concerns or risks with zoning.
