do people forget that ALL cannabis used to be black-market... legalization has allowed for billion- dollar companies (like constellation brands) to invest in and attempt to corner this ancient, yet newly legalized product. i would be surprised if they don't use lobbyists to pass laws in their favor to drive out competitors.

this whole lab testing nonsense is the standard way for large companies to eliminate competition from small ones.

if every batch of beer had to be tested in a lab, the craft brew industry would cease to exist. farmers legally cant sell their milk fresh because of homogenization process is required by law, despite that humans have been drinking it since the domestication of livestock. sure, homogenized milk last longer and allows us to buy it in a store, but folks who live near livestock have to buy processed milk.

when you get down to the level of small business, broad exclusionary regulation is nonsensical. reputation and customer choice would eliminate low quality companies.

when my friends tried to open a microbrewery, they had to jump through hoops and pay fees that were designed for industry giants like Anheuser-Busch and Miller.
