The felons that should be barred from working are violent criminals, people who steal ect..
As said in the earlier post, I'd support exemptions for people whose felonies stem from cultivation. I'm not comfortable with for-profit black market sellers with felonies working in this business, for the reasons I already stated.

By making the above statement, it shows me that you have no problem with the unjust drug laws in the country..Laws that do nothing but harm people by, breaking up their families, taking their homes,keeping kids from their parents ect,ect.
Don't know where you're getting that from. I'm pretty open about my opposition to all drug prohibition laws.

Let's be real how many dispensary owners have you talked to that have a clue about mmj maybe 10%
10% sounds low, although I'm no kind of expert. This business is a fountain of lies and bullshit. I bet most of us have had experiences in dispensaries that made us uncomfortable. It's heartbreaking to see "professionals" in this business sort of dangle, tease, the benefits of this drug in order to make their patients spend more money than they should without actually lying. I actually blew my stack in one dispensary waiting room and had to leave after overhearing one of those conversations regarding MMJ's potential to cure cancer. I take care of a retired blind man who is also a patient, and I know that dispensary employees have made misrepresentations, both of the quality of their medicine and its curative effects. After all, it's easy to lay off the lesser product on a guy who cannot even see. We've got to have higher character standards, and standards of care. We owe it to the sick.

(Actually, it's pretty interesting when I bring my friend to a dispensary. He goes entirely by smell, and by verbal description. He can usually identify a batch he's smoked before from smell alone.)
