There are so many pot heads that wanna make it their career that they're crowding the market. lol

I was in Portland, Maine a month ago and you couldn't swing a fucking dead cat around without hitting fifty pot shops. I don't know how they stay in business together.

It’s a massive bubble. Way too many businesses and none of them are really adding anything special to the market. I’m from Oklahoma and we don’t even have legal recreational yet, only medicinal, but there are still two dispensaries on every street. They’re like Starbucks at this point.

Soon they'll be as ubiquitous as liquor stores.

That might also indicate that this might not be such a crazy bubble as well. Convenience and liquor stores don't individually add anything special to the snacks and booze markets, but people enjoy convenience much the same. They won't make VC startup money, but it could simply turn into lower profit margin steady business.

We can only hope that it doesn't all end up consolidated.
