>similar to pharmaceuticals. It is a pharmaceutical. Using any given drug without doctor or pharmacist oversight isn't a great argument for less regulation. Even if you're overall against most regulation and govt overreach. >Even the scales used must be of the same spec used for gold weighing and cost roughly $1,500 each. It's not just the dispensaries but the wholesalers, processors, and cultivators need to buy these scales and register them once a year with the state for $100. Every scale or other measuring device involved in commerce has to be inspected and stamped yearly, in most states. That's why the scale at your grocery checkout and gas pumps have the same stickers on them. Other than the banking issue, none of the common complaints are really specific to the cannibas market. More likely this market has just attracted a disproportionate number of people with little or no business experience, who are oblivious to the risks, regulatory hurdles, and associated costs that all types of businesses deal with. >Lowering the barrier to market would have the additional benefit of enabling smaller market participants... >It's a great disgrace that our laws have prevented any reasonable path for going legit while demonizing them in the process. Spoken like someone starting to understand some of those crazy right-winger, free-market, pro-business, small-government arguments.
