I agree, I guess my point is, the only ones who are really, genuinely upset with these new regulations are those large scale grows that we are talking about, who didn't get compliant and are now illegal. Those people who didn't want to pay the licensing fees to get legal etc. Those large scale guys who didn't marry up with dispensaries like yours, are the ones who are affected.

I'm okay with that. I am glad that dispensaries like yours are getting together with large scale grows, hopefully these smallish super high quality grows will replicate on a larger scale now that they are coming out from the underground.

I think this legislation will be difficult to navigate short term, but I think it's pretty crucial if we want to be around and legit long term.

Regarding eliminating home grows. In the eyes of the government, and the department of revenue, anyone not paying taxes has to go. The department of revenue understood that large scale home grows likely don't pay enough in taxes, hence this legislation. Obviously the legit, smart growers married up and paid up to remain compliant. That's a good thing. That's how it makes sense to eliminate those who are now non-compliant.
