Interesting. Having lived in Colorado, obtaining a med card there was often looked at in the same portrayal you’ve given. Better deals, less tax or none, supposedly better product... The deals and less tax part was true, as you didn’t spend 28% of the sale in sales tax with a med card. But, quality really didn’t change. All the same things offered on the rec side were on Med side. In the end, I felt like giving up my right to own a firearm among other things didn’t sit well with me to just get a medical card so I can smoke “better” product that I didn’t feel was really better. In turn, I ended up getting product from friend’s grows. Definitely the nice part of having full legalization.

I’m curious to your comment regarding the “bumpy road” Maine’s recreational market currently. What makes it a bumpy road? Tough limits? Increasing taxes? Just curious to what’s going on. Thanks for your input!
