Of course teachers have background checks too, but that process is initiated by filling out a fingerprint card, which also includes a physical description. I don't see why the same process isn't sufficient for owners and investors of cannabis-based businesses. I don't disagree with the idea of background checks, but the application should be trimmed. As a consumer my only interest is to keep the criminals out of the business, and that could be accomplished without the unnecessary collection of private data from these applicants.
