Think of the land grab on both sides there.

No it has to be specific and confront all issues of the industry.

how to tax growers.

How do you differentiate between the large growers who sell to retail outlets and the backyard grower who still manages to grow 10K worth of pot every year and sells to his friends?

How to tax people that make hash, extracts, edibles and how to enforce those laws. Then there are product safety issues with retail sales. What kind of store system, tourism, limits, where and how, zoning, municipalities, pot prisoners, all of that needs to be addressed.

Thern there is an advertising issue as well.

"JUST LEGALIZE IT MAN" WOULD CREATE MORE PROBLEMS THAT IT SOLVES.
