Reply to comment by nychuman in Why is a Michigan resident blocking 63 New York dispensary licenses? by Character_Mall_1966

No, the whole of legalizing was so people can grow, sell, possess, use the stuff without going to prison. I don’t care if the state makes money.

Uh, the plant was already decriminalized and prison time was a thing of the past for a long time.

Legalization is obviously a better step in that regard, but as far as the political reasoning for actually passing the law in NY, quality control and taxation were at the top of the list.

You can have quality control without a ridiculous licensing division.

If it was simple registration, where you sign up, an inspector comes by before you open and you have to send samples in, etc fine. The problem is the ridiculous amounts of money they want. It shouldn't cost more than $50 to get a license to grow, sell, deliver, etc.
