Why? The State has spent the past five years ensuring this would be the standard for how cannabis works in NJ. No home cultivation for anyone, a township chosen tax and approval, and ridiculous prices for even a shot at a license. All the while Scutari and the rest of them scream the entire reason they've done anything to weed law has been about righting the wrongs done to our states minorities.

Look, this guy's got my sympathy, having spent so much money for a chance in the business is outrageous, but this young man is the exact person who wouldn't have had any issues had he gotten caught with weed in the past, simply because of money. Halfway through the article it talks about him and his parents spending nearly a million fucking dollars, just for a shot at a licence. This reads more like the opinion of a young man who's dad's about to give him the whooping of a lifetime if he loses the million he invested in his reefer business than it does someone who gives a shit about actually righteous cannabis laws.

After calling and bothering our reps for years prior to legalization, literally close to a decade, I can assure you - they don't give a shit. The second legalization rumors were on the board and it was an option, myself and hundreds of other frustrated NJMMP patients were calling and calling. No one cares about your opinion in NJ unless you've got the cash for play. I've been a medical patient for ten years and calling for improvements to the program for just as long, but they know best, and we didn't want perfect to the be the enemy of progress, so these are the laws we've got. "Don't worry, cheaper prices and home grow will come. Eventually." - My reps in 2016.
