Let me get this straight. Our state's voters approved legalization for medical use almost 10 years ago, and our Legislators still can't get their shit together? And because of this all of the dispensaries should be shuttered while the people against them drag their asses until they can find another way to stall and kick the can down the road?
If we we're gonna have an honest conversation about weed, ie: collateral damage and how people perceive weed users, then let's be honest about what we're talking about here. These dispensaries are providing a good to the public for medical use, not places that are selling recreational pot, regardless of how it's used once it leaves the premises. That's not legal in MI yet. Also, marijuana cannot be taxed directly without a change to the state law. Everyone involved is already paying a "tax" in the form of licenses and registration fees. When it becomes recreationally legal, and it will, I can promise that it will be taxed up the wazoo and people will still resort to buying it off of the street, or loosie style like cigarettes.
