17. That's the irony most anti nimby's just don't get.....

The first thing they will jump up and down about is that it will allow kids easy access to pot. Wtaf?

First, kids already have easy and much cheaper access to pot than what is sold in legal shops, that they don't have access to anyway. Even edibles and drinks are easy and cheap to find.

Even as a small scale hobby grower, I can grow high quality cannabis for about $0.50/gm. In a dispensary, it can be around $5/gm. Street prices are much lower than dispensary prices. No "kid" will buy stock that came from one unless they want some specific product.

So it's no wonder they are filled with people that just want relief without having to deal with the underworld. They are cheery places, with good security and helpful staff.

And the products work.

But it's not at a price point many like, so they stick to their buddies friend.
