All of which is irrelevant because people have been able to easily buy weed from most bodegas and head shops for at least a year now--which is right and proper, IMO.

Most of us are simply consumers of the stuff, and that state of affairs thus benefits most of us. I'm cool with giving people convicted for simple possession some restitution in the form of a license to sell or something, but I'm also not particularly saddened or concerned to hear that such restitution may be worth less than promised.

FWIW, I went to Empire Cannabis the other day and it was pretty bunk--overpriced goods AND had some "membership fee" BS. Fuck that. Much better to buy from bodega or the delivery service I use, which has been operating smoothly since before weed was legal.
