The bad thing is not that a new dispensary is opening. I believe (and I only read it very quickly) it's because they have bought out several existing MMJ businesses - one a dispensary, the other a growing facility. Screams of typical corporate takeover type behavior which I think people are afraid will trickle down and affect everyone as they drive the prices low until enough small-time growers/caregivers/dispensaries are out of business. Then they'll drive prices up and only offer shoddy product at that price.

That's only my guess at what people are upset about.

Could also be that people are afraid that the big pharmaceutical companies are going to start taking more interest in MMJ.
